The glare problem is due to the glass top panel on every plasma TV. It's basically like trying to look through a window. LCDs don't use glass, so the light isn't reflected as severely. Sounds like you knew that, but just making sure.

We had a plasma (Vizio) on the short wall of a 18'x30' great room. At the opposite end is the kitchen, which has recessed lighting. I had to return it because I could only see the reflection of the lights on the screen. The LCD we have now is virtually glare-free.
