Is this set among those recommended for bright rooms? i.e.matte or semi-gloss

Its a glass panel as far as I can tell which means it should reflect a lot but it doesn't. Thus I believe Samsung has worked out some anti glare anti reflection technology they've likely applied to the screen.

It is matte. The review on CNET says that the t.v. does a good job in bright rooms.

I do see some reflection but not much. It is not enough to interfere with the picture even if I shine a bright flashlight directly on the screen. I can see the flashlight but it is pretty dim. It does have a matte screen.

there are a few matte shadows but the majority are vibrant or glittery...if you are looking for matte cplours this may not be the pallet for you

Glossy but still worth it. It is sometimes difficult to see in a bright room. I still love it. My back wall is a window making it very very bright at sunset and my walls are white. This makes it tough to see unless I shade the window

I think it's more between matte and semi gloss. I can get some reflections on the screen with the TV off, but I don't notice them with the TV on. I have my set wall mounted in a bedroom.

Is shiny finish which can show fingerprints, smudges. So sometimes have to wipe off when setting out. On the whole is very nice and I'm happy with this set.

It is glossy, but we have it in a high light room with no visibility or glare issues.

They are not matte...I would say slightly shine. I wouldn't call it high-gloss (IMO).

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!

I wouldn't say it was matte, but I definitely wouldn't call it high gloss. I'd say somewhere between semi-matte and gloss.

I have had both the glossy and the matte screens. As long as you don't have light directed towards the glossy screen then I think that you should enjoy it. Many people are overstating the negatives of this monitor.

From what I've seen, I would guess mat. I play it in my bedroom which has a bright light in the middle of the room. From my experience, never had a problem with surrounding brightness.

I have a very well lit room and have no glare. It is like a matte finish. The only thing I did was to buy bolts for the stand because the ones provided were too short. So take the ones provided, if they are too short, to the hardware, and match them with a longer version.

Its not glossy but not dull either, I don't think this will have the finish you are quite looking for but im sure it would look good or compliment your bedroom theme.

It has a shiny finish however I dont think I would enjoy a tv with a matted screen at all. I would move my tv into a room with less windows or buy some drapes. This tv kicks ass. Everything else is the problem, not the tv!!!

I would consider it semi gloss finish...there is a shine but not a high gloss shine in my opinion.

Yes, we have semi gloss in my son's play room where we installed the decals & have had no issues so far & it's been at least 9 months.

I say yes. I get compliments from every single visitor in my home on our dining room fixture. This is truly one of those finds that looks more pricey and dramatic once it is hung and you live with it for a while. I also advise to go with a dimmer switch...I love the soft warm light that you get with all those faceted crystals reflecting it throughout your living space in the evenings.
