How reflective is the vinyl? The small product images online show a glare or sheen. How visible is that on a larger scale?

It is not that reflective. I use it for portrait photography, and it is good.

I don't the reflection an issue. But did notice 2 issues with vinyl compare to paper: 1. There are waves on the background because of the weight, similar to what you see with fabric. 2. The bottom where it bends when it touches the ground, it's more reflective there and shows up. Unlike paper where you see a smooth curve.

I found that my TV does not have reflection issues...they are not eliminated but are reduced to a point that you have to be looking for reflections in order to see them at all. Glare has not been an issue for me at all. Remembering that plasmas inherently have lower brightness than any LCD/LED set, the reflection/glare level is satisfactory, your issues may be more brightness related. The set has a beautiful picture!

It is more of a matte vs glossy. Background reflection is minimal. Is a good monitor.

I have had no problem with glare, I have only used it indoors so I can't say what it would be like outside. I would think it would be fine.

I would describe it as satin, but definitely not matte. No where near as glossy as plasma screens. There are some reflections during day light hours, depending on number of windows, etc. In the evening, in a normally lit room, it blows you away with it's brightness, color, contrast and high definition - an excellent choice.

The screen is glossy but I do not have a problem with shadows or reflection. It is a great Screen. I think it is wonderful!

The actual display area is not glossy and does not have a mirror-like finish, so glare is not as bad as it would be on, say, an old style CRT. However, if you have a lot of light behind you, it can show on parts of the display that are dark, though it is much less noticeable on bright areas. Overall I'd say it does very well at dealing with glare.

It is glossy, however I haven't had any issues with glare as the screen is bright enough when it is on I don't notice it!

It's a matte screen, made of a plastic material. Pressing on it changes the brightness in the immediate vicinity. It will reflect some light, but it's definitely not shiny.

I don't have any problems with glare, it is not a glossy screen, it is more of the soft matte finish.

It's sort of in between. You might consider it a matte ( reduced glare) finish. It has good transparency....but is not glossy (shiny) like a piece of plastic....like you would find on a phone case as a screen protector

It is somewhat visible. Better than a phone screen as there is not the glare you normally get but it can be a little dim at times. Had it in Mexico this fall an never noticed a problem though.

There are slight reflections depending on the lighting in the room. The screen is like a matte finish and not shiney. We have ours in a finished basement with light coming in from the glass block and I can see the reflection of the windows slightly. Nothing major that affects the picture. We are quite pleased with it. Hope this answers your question. Also it is self adjusting to the lighting around it. Last night I began watching a program (had just turned the tv on) and I thought it looked too dark. Within seconds the tv adjusted itself so that the picture was perfect, color and brightness.

The screen is matte. Mine sits next to a bright window, I've never noticed any glare or reflection. It's like a bottomless pit for any light it didn't emit.

I haven't noticed any glare with mine; It looks exactly like the computer screen itself, can't even tell I have a screen protector on.

It's definitely more of a matte finish. . .no problems with reflective glare.

I don't understand why you would want a glossy screen. To me, it is an advantage to have a non-reflective screen to do away with annoying glare from windows or other light sources.
