Is Glare a Problem? Is size too big for my viewing distance? Also is 55 inches overkill and overwhelming for room size (about 16 by 20 feet)?

It's actually far less glossy than other TVs and I have it sitting in my bright living room.. !! I would suggest go with c650 as I have similar distance between TV and the couch. Also, having Pandora and few other apps (weather etc ) is def a plus when you have it.. Look around and see if you can get even a better price.. I bought it from $1439 2 months ago..

Can't say - I use it for Board meetings and throw < 15 ft. onto a 50 inch screen. I am sure it can go much larger and further but at what point it distorts I am uncertain. At <15 ft, room darkness isn't much of an issue.

I agree with both Steven & Brandon. I have two if r=these sets and I use one of them on a 52" and one on a 65". Both bring up good points and ideas to consider. The further you are from the wall the more back lighting you will see reflecting from it. If you are close, you might want to consider two sets.

I haven't noticed any problems. If there is glare, there is nothing more serious than what I would expect from a comparable television or as with a computer screen, as was mentioned. I watch it in the daylight and at night time with recessed lighting and have had zero issues.

IMHO, this one is a no brainer if price isn't the issue. You have plenty of distance for the 52. Hell, my living room is 21 ft., so I put the couch in the middle of the room so I can be close enough for the "full effect".Also, if you wall mount, it won't take up too much of your living room space. The only thing that's throwing me is the viewing angle you mentioned. Is there no way to look at this head on?

I wish someone had answered this for you. We bought this and there is so much glare, we can't have any lamps in the room turned on when watching tv. not happy! Otherwise it would be perfect. I wonder if there is anything that can be done to change it. This is our first HD tv so I guess we didn't know what to expect.

I'm on 110 in screen which is frankly to big for the room, but you free like your watching IMAX or 3D of every show because stuff is so big. I most likly should have done 8ft screen max. My room is only 18 long so I have the projector on the ceiling at 17ft and the screen on the other side. My main seating are is 12 ft from the screen making my 110 in seem like 20ft instead of 10ft plus

Yes. Lots of glare on screen. If not going in a dark room look for another tv

I had the same dilemna, and I just went with the 6x8 basically because I have a large screen. I won't get to use it 'til Christmas, so I can't advise about my satisfaction, but I thought you'd consider that it was the size/resolution of my monitor that helped me decide.

55", And yes with some glare. However I must admit we have it located in a sunny room, and I think any TV that would be placed in that location would have the same result. It's not noticeable when we darken the room or @ night.

In your case, both 16:9 or 4:3 screen ratio will be fine. It all depends on what type of screen you are projecting to, this projector will give you as big as you want plus the light is very bright even from a distance. I used it mostly in a 100-300 size hall and it shows great quality picture. Hope this helps.

The viewing angle is great. I did a 180 degree walk around and you can see everything as soon as you steps a view inches in front of it. It's an LED tv so your going to have great viewing angles with minimum glare, unlike plasma tvs.

Take care to have something near in the foreground. I display the images on a 50" HDTV and it feels like you can just get up and into the picture. Good choice!

I have had no problem with glare, I have only used it indoors so I can't say what it would be like outside. I would think it would be fine.

Well, the screen tends to lean more toward shiny than matte. Not like plasma tv glassy smooth and shiny but definitely not matte. Our living room has 11 windows and most of them are south facing so a huge amount of glare as you can imagine. So, what we do is to simply rotate the TV out of the glare zone. The base allows certain amount of movement (using built in rollers) to the right or left and that's plenty. Considering how bright how room is, it was quite impressive to be able to watch tv with the curtains not drawn.

I have the 47" and I love it. The stock speakers are very loud, and the visual quality is great. Being an LED, it looks really good even in a bright room, although if it's behind a window you'll still have to worry about glare. I was annoyed with how it makes shows and movies look with the Motion Blur, but you can easily turn that off; it does help make games look better though so I turn it back on for gaming.
