The more I read, the more confused I get. Now I'm convinced that the Panny G25 plasma will work in a brightly lit room! LOL

Oh yes.. and it has to pass the WIFE factor as well. LOL~~!~ ;>)

This is funny because I AM the WIFE. My husband could care less about all this tech stuff... :)

Ooh..I didn’t realise that you were the wife...heh..please forgive me..

Las Vegas Dave is correct..all of the Samsung sets at stores like Sams Club or Costco DO have different model numbers..for instance..they may carry the *c640* model, which IS the exact same model as the c650..with the clear panel - it just has a different model number..the stores do this because this enables them to avoid the Price Matching business that goes on in other stores, like Best Buy..

Soo; if Costco only carries those Clear panel Samsungs.. then. you may wish to look in other stores, such as Sears, or Best Buy...I KNOW that hd sets with matte panels DO exist.. ya just have to find them!
