Re: Question on Plasma TVs - Glare?

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.
Yeah I had heard Plasmas tended to reflect a lot more light because of the glass. I've also read some product reviews of the new Panasonics on consumer reports, which have an anti-glare coating on the screen. Those reviews seem to say that people think glare isn't an issue. Maybe I need to be asking you guys whether or not anybody has a Panasonic plasma (shot in the dark) and if they notice glare.
