Windows in room? How does this screen do in a room with Windows? Is it reflective or matte? Or do all those extra pixels mean it's not an issue? I wish there was a standard for measuring reflections since it's almost always a concern unless the TV is in a dedicated media room.

Hi Ms. Bev,
Not that I can answer your question, however, if you are asking what I think, very poorly and it is annoying!!! If you are like me and have a small window without a blind or shade... For daytime, even the smallest amount of light will come across the entire screen (both sides from wherever the light is coming from). You will see an array of colors across the TV from where the light is coming. By the time I had someone even tried to help me from Best Buys (only 14 days to return), it was to late to try and return. I am home bound and it was difficult to return so quickly. This can be very annoying and had I read a few others comments prior to purchasing, I would not have bought this. I knew nothing of purchasing the newer TV's and had an old console. (stop laughing). I appreciate all those that do provide comments and ratings. I should have read them sooner. I learned a few others mentioned this problem as well. My screen is only the 43 inch and I know what it looks like. if you have lights on at night, even worse. I've heard not all TV's do this as badly as this one. (now, I've heard this). Too late. Not all of us watch TV in the dark.

If there is light coming in from the windows then there will be an annoying glare. I usually close the window shades while watching to avoid this.

Hi Bev, it doesn't reflect much light at all. Dave

From my experience we haven't had an issue with glare our TV is set up right near a large window.

forgot to mention this in my review.

be very careful of placement of the TV.
It doesn't do well across from windows or in brightly lit rooms at night.

the glossy front reflects any light source.
