Is there much glare in a well lit room with I assume a gloss screen?

No Glare at all. My KDL-70R550A is wall mounted and there are 2 bright light sources coming from 2 directions in the day time and the picture is just as good as when the room is dark.

Unfortunately yes. On a sunny day, my living room floods with sunlight and tough to see screen clearly with reflections. At night, it is much better with ambient lamps for lighting.

TBH it's not that bad, and nothing more or less than you would expect. Just be sure you only use high quality media or you are definitely going to notice with 70 inches! I couldn't be happier and the 3d is theatre good!

No glare. We have this tv next to two big windows. Picture is great from any angle and anytime of the day or night.

Any answer will be subjective. I have a wall of windows to one side of the TV and the glare varies from barely noticeable to horrid depending on your seating. subjectivity comes in with how you define barely noticeable and horrid.

The monitor has a matte screen, so there is no noticeable glare from my overhead fan light. However, it would probably depend more on where you have your lighting in the room. I would not put a bright light directly behind you.

I would like to know this too. Is the screen excessively glossy? I know on some of the higher end ones they make the display very shiny which is incredibly annoying if you have even a dimly lit room. This set is priced in the middle range so I'm wondering how the gloss on the screen is. It's so hard to tell in the stores because they have the screens in a dark area and angled just so.

Other than some reflections from the window that's on the opposite wall from the TV, I've never had any glare issues with this TV. My living room can get very bright during the day with two large windows and a sliding glass door, especially with the shades opened... so take that info however you would like.

The screen is glossy as it is a capacitive touch screen. The glare can be pretty bad, but on full brightness the screen should always be seeable. Just don't sit with the sun over your shoulder.

No, it is a bit glossy due to it being a touch screen. When brightness is turned all the way up or if you don't have lots of light directly behind you, you barely notice it. But when you have lots of light of course you will pick up some reflections. It really comes down to your personal preference. Hope that helps.

Yes, there is a little glare and reflecting, but it's not nearly as bad as a plasma screen. It's not quite as remarkable as LG makes it out to be with their semi matte screen covering, but I personally find it to be more than acceptable. I hardly even notice it after having it in my home for a few weeks. We live in Arizona, so there's LOTS of sun and big windows in our home. Hope this helps answer your question!

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

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.

Hi, not too much glare with room lighting. Overall pretty happy with it but keep in mind that you cannot adjust the angle of the display (at least I have not figured it out). but that has not been a problem. Fairly quick but slower than my mac book pro likely because of the solid state drive.

Yes, there is glare, but I tell you what, the plasma picture is a superior picture, darker darks and I found a way to reduce the reflection. Too bad they are stopping production of them.

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!

I'm not sure I fully understand the distinction, but I would say there is nothing glossy about it. I see very little glare. The display seems more subdued or muted.

It's definitely glossy and reflective, but I wouldn't say that there's any more glare than the original screen by itself. It's really quite unnoticeable. Unless maybe your screen brightness is all the way down and you're out in direct sunlight at noon, but then there's always the viewfinder.

I don't think the screen is non-glare. You don't really want to place it facing sun light.

I haven't had any issues with glare and I have the tv in a room with a lot of windows. Maybe it's where I have the tv, but no issues

No problems noted with glare or reflections in well lighted or sunny rooms. The only issue so far is the auto adjust for the room lighting level can allow the screen to actually become too attenuated (that is DARK) if the room light level is low.
