I have a 46" of this model in a brightly lit room. NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER. I was worried too. But, one thing for me is that my window is on the side of my tv not directly behind. I,too, viewed it at several different Best Buys and it worried me how much reflection I saw. However, it's been strange to me. It doesn't seem as reflective since I got it in a home environment. One morning, with the blinds open even...I walked by and looked at the tv and had to stop because for a moment it almost looked matte.

If you have blinds on your windows, you'd probably be OK. I've gone in to look at this TV in Best Buy, specifically to see what the impact of reflective glare is. I'd heard so many scary things about reflection. Even with the whole store brightly lit with Metal Halide lighting, you only see the reflections when the TV is very dark or completely dark. The rest of the time, I just didn't see it. Now, if a very specific bright source is reflected in the TV, you WILL see it. IE, the light from the Metal Halide lamp itself.

They are releasing a Matte model, but is only in black has 3 hdmi ports instead of 4. It is model #lnxxa630. It has AMP and 120hz, 40,000 to 1 contrast and so on. I don't think it will have the ability to play videos though.

Your Best Buy must be very different than mine. When I went there to check out this TV, I was astounded at how all I could see was the reflections of the bright overlight lights. I couldn't even concentrate on the video image, the reflection was so bad.

I found that my TV does not have reflection issues...they are not eliminated but are reduced to a point that you have to be looking for reflections in order to see them at all. Glare has not been an issue for me at all. Remembering that plasmas inherently have lower brightness than any LCD/LED set, the reflection/glare level is satisfactory, your issues may be more brightness related. The set has a beautiful picture!

CNET didn't go wild over the 8000's picture, and I thought it looked pretty good but wasn't any more floored by it than my own ln46c750. Obviously I'm biased at this point considering I've already made the purchase, but I think Beaver is right that the LED component to it gives you mild energy savings and perhaps a more dynamic picture. But I can tell you the c750 can go from almost too bright to quite dark. It's a significant price jump, and if you go to the ln46c750's reviews so far they are quite positive. If it helps the CNET guy who reviews a lot of the TV's said if the C750 was anything like the B750 (his favorite straight LCD tv of last year) then it's a great buy.

"...more glare than other models..." - Does this mean that the one sheet of glass results in more glare than for Panasonic's other models that don't have the one sheet glass design - or are your referring to other maker's models? Just trying to clarify.I'm a Panasonic fan. - Used to always buy Sony, but they got too involved in low end products, and it seems to have affected their other products as well.

Go to CNET and look this tv up. People have posted calibration settings on there. My recommendation at this point would be to return this tv immediately! I have had the pn64e8000 for nearly two years now and it just died yesterday. I have found out recently that these tv's were shipped by Samsung with bad panels. I am not the only one this has happened to and some folks are trying to organize a class action lawsuit over this issue. I have had two Samsung tv's and they both let me down. Their customer service sucks and they will give you the runaround. I just ordered a Sharp aquos Lc70sq15u which is about the same price i paid for the pn64e8000 and is twice the tv.

yes I would recommend this model, as for the glare problem all flat panels that have screens made from glass will suffer from some reflections, but for the most part you will not notice it, as for blue ray movies, why bother, with a good upscaler dvd movies look almost as good as blu ray, besides viewing any distance beyond 7 ft your eye's cannot resolve any difference, in other words from 7ft away 720p and 1080p look the same quality wise,

I've been researching tv's for several months and have decided on the LN46A750. The price at Amazon is unbelievable. I'm going to order one next month. Has anyone purchased the extended warranty? I hear Samsung tv's are excellent quality and wonder if I really need a warranty.

i have the LN46C630 model with same flickering problem occuring just after warranty expired. technician fixed it by cutting one "jumper" (metal wire about 1/2 inch long) located on the power supply circuit board. takes 5 minutes to fix. technician said samsung issued service bulletin that told repair techs how to fix it. you can do it yourself with a screwdriver, small wirecutters. i could send a photo if you wantok, not sure how to post the photo here, but here's what the technician did for $150...unscrew 17 screws, remove the back cover to the TVfind the power supply circuit board, that's the one your TV's power cord plugs into. On the power supply circuit board, upper left corner, to the right of and below the large 46", there is a metal jumper labelled JP852 that is no more than 2 cm in length. it connects something labelled 'Input rating' and another labeled 'COLD'. the technician used wire cutters and cut the JP852 jumper. that solved my flickering issue, TV works great now. tech said that every size TV in this class of samsung has the same design flaw and can be fixed like this. good luck. i would post a photo, but can't figure it out."&lt;/i&gt;

I didn't have that particular problem. However, I did return the TV because when the TV was on there appeared to be a tear (the way a torn piece of paper looks) across the top of it. I bought a 60 inch Samsung plasma and I Love It!

I would buy another Sceptre TV. I haven't had any problems with my 39". The 39" is the #1 selling LCD on Amazon.

I've seen this TV, and it does have more glare than other models. However, it also has a better picture and better viewing angles, so I think I can live with the glare...

It is not a glass surface, so the glare on it is minimal, but there is some depending on what lighting you have, such as windows/lamps, etc. I have not found there to be any glare on the TV at all, but I do not have any kind of direct sunlight in the room the TV is placed in.

I purchased a 750 on 11/29/08 from Amazon and received it the following week. In a very dark room and from the right angle, you can see the image getting reflected through the beveled edge of the frame, but it is hardly noticeable. My wife didn't even see it until I pointed it out to her. It has no effect at all on my viewing pleasure. I have the TV placed on a corner TV stand positioned in a corner, but I don't think it would make any difference against a flat wall.

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.
