Is the glare on the screen worse than on a glass screen crt tv was or is it just bad compared to lcd?

I would argue that the glare is a non issue altogether. I really think people who complain about glare are simply LCD/LED fanboys. My unit is in a sun-drenched room with wrap-around ceiling to floor windows and I've never had an issue with glare. I do need to close the blinds in the day, but that's the tradeoff for a superior picture from a display that doesn't double as a neon flashlight. So in sum, screen brightness can be an issue, but for me that's easily resolved with the blinds. Glare has never been an issue for me. I continue to stand by my initial statement that this is the finest screen I've ever viewed when broken in and calibrated properly. I would argue that the glare is a non issue altogether.

The "glare" (or reflection) is pretty minimal unless the room you're viewing it in is super-bright (as in tons of artificial lighting) or extremely sunny (as in a wall of windows with direct sunlight coming through it). Otherwise it's not a big deal. You can deal with it simply enough by adjusting the screen brightness in the display menu, or pull the curtains or shades closed. Considering the quality of the picture and the price it's no big deal to live with.

Plasma screens are known for having lots of light glare, more than LCD. I'm usually not home during the day, so light glare was not an issue for me. People recommend placing your tv against a wall that will not have sun shining on it or getting good blinds and using them

Never had an lcd, so can't answer your question w a "comparative" response. But I don't have any clue why ppl would complain abt a glare on this particular Samsung. It has an truly unbelievable picture... Easily one of the the best I've ever seen.

There is some glare during the day, but this is easily resolved, as others have pointed out, with some blinds. I would agree that the quality in the picture is well worth any minimal glare. You'll be glad you bought this tv!

I had a matte screen LED TV and I'd say the difference is big with regard to reflection. However, the picture quality is far better on this TV, and I only complain about the glare when I'm sitting directly in the light reflection path. It's like you have a mirror on the wall, and you stand in a position where you can see the direct light from the sun. Just move to a different position, and you've got perfect vision. Another way to avoid this is obviously to close the curtain where the light is coming directly to the TV. It's not annoying at all unless your house is fully lit and full of windows!

I have the 47, yes there is some glare. Its worse than a matte screen but not as bad as some other glossy screens I have seen. During the day with a bunch of ambient light I turn the backlight up to about 70 or 80 and its not a problem. At night I generally turn off all my lights and turn down the backlight to 20 or 30 for the best experience.

I dont think the tv has bad motion blur at all. At least not for a LCD. As a matter of fact its the best I've ever seen. But at all LCDs have motion blur its part of the tech. But its the best at handle motion blur I've ever seen. I dont think you will even notice it. As for inout lag, i am not sensitive to tv input lag, so i cant tell.

No it's not. I have lots of natural lights in the room whitch makes it hard to see with the glare on the screen. I had to return this tv and bought a samsung with have a much better anti glare screen.

We have had this tv in our very bright living room since November. Absolutely love the picture quality & have not experienced any glare problems. Hope this helps!

The glare can be quid distracting. It would be better to have a matte finish, but otherwise this TV is great. I just make sure the room is pretty dark.

I'm not going to lie, I never really had a glare problem before. The backlighting on my tablet off-set any surface glare I had. It definitely doesn't make it worse!

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.

Kevin, I am not answering your question but I am confirming that I have the same problem with Samsung I just purchased 3 days ago. It is a complete mirror in my family room. People say plasma or lcd/led has better picture quality, but if all you can see is the reflection of the room or trees and clouds in the sky reflecting from your window, then I would say that would be a very very poor quality picture. And shouldn't you be able to enjoy your TV and look outside your window at the same time? You shouldn't have to make your room like a cave to see your TV. We love our big windows and well-lit room. Never had this problem with our previous DLP. Sorry, just venting. I'm going in the store today to look at the Mitsubishi DLP's.

Hello! My wife and I own two plasma TVs (See recent post on Panasonic TH-50PZ800U, "Great delivery time and our recent experience") and we both wear glasses. There is little to no glare from the screen and we have not noticed any problems watching TV with glasses.By the way, our LCD and CRT TVs, also in very well lit rooms, are not different from the plasma TV display from a glare perspective. If you watch any TV at night from an angle with other light sources near the TV, maybe you'll experience a "halo" effect with your glasses, but it's not unique to plasma TVs. Hello!

This monitor has a dull screen and you should have no problems with glares from the windows. I use the monitor with windows behind me and I get no reflections.

I have had no problems with glare or anything else for that matter. I don't know if it has actual anti-glare properties built in but it works great for me. Great monitor for a great price. Just don't buy it for the sound. The speakers are more than useless.

yes I would recommend this model, as for the glare problem all flat panels that have screens made from glass will suffer from somereflections, but for the most part you will not notice it, as for blue ray movies, why bother, with a good upscaler dvd movies lookalmost as good as blu ray, besides viewing any distance beyond 7 ft your eye's cannot resolve any difference, in other words from7ft away 720p and 1080p look the same quality wise,

My TV is inside; however it does sit next to a large window and I do not notice a glare. In fact, since I have put it on 16 months ago, I have not noticed it screen at all except when it saves my tv from one of my kids.

I don't mean to start an argument here but, some LCD and Plasma panels are available with refresh rates of 72Hz and even 120Hz, and as far as I know, 60Hz refresh rates are the norm for almost all HDTV's.Also, CRT is the only technology that can display interlaced video as such, "fixed pixel" displays paint their pictures progressively.

It isn't flawless, but I haven't noticed any major blur while playing games or in movies, this coming from someone who games on an old CRT.

It's glossy but I don't think any more so than other TVs. It's in a bedroom though so it's usually on at night only but I've never noticed or been distracted by a glare.
