I have windows across from the tv, does this screen reflect alot? My current LCD TV has a matte screen so reflections are not a problem.

I've not experienced a problem with glare. My tv is next to a window but angled at approximately 45 degrees away from the windo.

Yes, there is a little glare and reflecting, but it's not nearly as bad as a plasma screen. It's not quite as remarkable as LG makes it out to be with their semi matte screen covering, but I personally find it to be more than acceptable. I hardly even notice it after having it in my home for a few weeks. We live in Arizona, so there's LOTS of sun and big windows in our home. Hope this helps answer your question!

The tv has a high gloss to it. So you will get reflection. Even on a matte screen, but glossy is worse. Now, if you block out some of that light - it's worth it. The TV will truly shine at night. The contrast and color saturation is awesome.

The reflective glare is really not an issue. I have my tv mounted high and tilted down. My room has double windows on two walls with blinds on them. I have had a plasma for years so this wasn't an issue with me. I love this tv and would highly recommend it!

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.

Hey Gary, The screen is matted. I can't see any reflection with my desk lamp on. However, very strong direct sunlight will give you some reflection which should be expected.

Yes. My tv is located in a room with an eastern exposure and over 300sq ft of windows (22' ceilings) and I have absolutely no issues with reflections.

Glossy if you put this tv facing an open windows with sun coming in it will reflect like a mirror. ( I currently have this issue)

It isn't a matte finish. I wouldn't call it a glass finish either. It is just like my TV which is a 32" Vivio. What I like about it is that it doesn't gradually get darker a darker picture as it gets older like most monitors do.

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.

The screen is definitely glossy and has a reflective surface. It is not a matte screen (like the Kindle Paperwhite--for example--has) and I can see reflections clearly in it. However, the display is sharp and readable to me. On average, I spend 3 or 4 hours a day looking at the screen and the reflectiveness does not bother me.

I would not recommend it if your concern is to get rid of glare - it has the same glossy finish as the underlying screen and essentially replicates the screen. I use the screen as a shield to protect the TV from projectiles thrown by my toddler and it works very well for that purpose.

The screen is very reflective like a mirror so you must get control of the lighting where you set up this TV. Any TV will perform poorly in a sunroom or overly bright room so it's not fair to blame this TV, especially since in a controlled lighting environment this glossy screen will outperform a TV with a matte anti reflective panel. Take care of ambient lighting and you will be amazed by this plasma panel!

K. Less, All panels will have some reflection - plasma, tube, LCD or LED - all have some reflection of ambient light. Samsung does have technology in the panel to dampen the effect, but there is not a "non-glare screen" available on the market. If you have bright lights, they will be reflected. If you have dull lighting, it will be much easier to see the panel. And when the picture is showing, unless you're looking for it, it's usually not too obtrusive. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

There is minimum reflection on this tv screen. The Plasma sets we looked at were VERY reflective - almost mirror like. I guess I would say this is none glare (or very little glare).

I haven't had any issues with glare and I have the tv in a room with a lot of windows. Maybe it's where I have the tv, but no issues
