StrictTime..I think this guy (whom you cited, from the thread at AVS) is confused..because ALL *c630* models are produced with semi-matte panels.

In other words, there are not SOME c630 models that have the clear panels, and there are not OTHER c630 models that have the semi-matte panel.

ALL *c630* models have the semi-matte panel.

The *c650* is the model with the clear panel.

In fact.. that’s really the only difference between the two models..the *C630* has the semi-matte panel, while the *c650* model has the clear panel...other than that, the two models are exactly the same HDTV set.

In regard to the new LED sets.. these are great, and the wave of the future. (and since they are a new innovation..of course the retail price on these sets are through the roof.)

I understand that the LED backlit sets provide a BRIGHTER contrast level, than the ordinary flourescent backlit panels. These new sets are lighter, because they don’t have the flourescent bulbs in them, and they are thinner sets as well..perfect for hanging on the wall.

But, the flourescent sets will still be with us for awhile. Now that the LED sets are being promoted, the price of the flourescent sets will continue to slide. These sets are a very good buy, especially with the declining prices.

Thanks, BC. I didn't know if they had changed the screen recently or what from that post.

I just went to Costco again today and they have nada that fits my criteria. :(

I guess I have to decide if LED is worth the extra $$ in our really bright family room. I hate to trust the salesmen at the store; it's funny how none of the high-end showrooms have rooms with bright light/big windows, so that I can see it with my own eyes. :)
