Plasma sets are very shiny. If you don't use them in a room that's dimmed, they will reflect everything around you constantly. In a bright room, an LCD or LED set is watchable all the time.

Its not the problem people make it out to be. We have ours in the family room with a sliding glass door directly opposite the TV. We have bright light on the west facing patio during the day. With the set off, you do indeed notice the reflections from the patio, but with the set on, it is hardly noticeable. Of course, at night, with no reflections at all, its that much better.
Depends on the model and manufacturer.... - kootenay 14:34:10 06/11/12 (0)
If you buy a cheap model...yes it will glare at you. I have a 52" Panasonic Veira in our master bedroom that has a french door opening into a balcony, glaring/reflection is not an issue at all when watching movies on daylight.

If a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing well
