Try viewing different screens in lighting similar to what you get in your room. My room is a living room with windows behind the screen which have curtains drawn over them if I'm viewing and, further along that wall, a large picture window onto a patio. The living room area opens to the kitchen with a skylight in the ceiling, a breakfast nook which also overlooks the patio and a hallway to the front door which has a narrow window beside it. I've got light coming from several directions and the only time I can fully black the area out is at night.

Judging from the plasmas I've seen in homes, which have been Panasonics and an NEC, I believe I would certainly see a difference in my room because the plasmas I've seen definitely don't look their best in lighting levels similar to what I have in my room during the day. Some of the new plasmas like the Kuros may be better but I haven't seen one of them in use.
