Are there any LCD owners who have a strong preference regarding back lit or edge lit LED? Also, I'd love to hear from people who have experience with sets that are over 2 years old (not Samsung, because it's not an option at this point).
I think I have research fatigue. I have been to all the review/complaint sites and forums already, but do not have a clearer head about this yet. :(
Thank you to all the HELPFUL people who answered my question.
Actually, the Samsung LN40C630 does have a semi-matte panel..we have a bright, sunlit living room, with a big window; the Samsung is in this room. The semi-matte screen is specifically designed to be NON-REFLECTIVE..so we can see the screen without having the window, or lights reflect in the screen..it’s a good design..I’ve seen the Samsung LN40C650 HDTV set..and other models as well.. these sets have CLEAR screens, they are very much like MIRRORS..highly reflective.
Have you actually taken the time to go look at these Samsung semi-matte screens, personally? If you haven’t seen them yet, I think you might be surprised. These semi-matte panels are very good, NON reflective screens.
Heres’ the thread for the SAMSUNG LNxxC630/C650 model on www.AVSFORUM.com = http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1234637
