RE: Thinking of getting a Plasma TV

My plasma setup is just like yours: in family room, facing large glass doors (south). The room is the naturally-darkest one in the house, by far. So, way back, the glass door coverings were chosen to allow some light in...I really should replace them with something thicker now that the room is pretty much "dedicated", nobody uses those glass doors much. I can see the daytime glare easily enough on the Pio 151, it has very little anti-reflective coatings. But it is not nearly as bad for glare as the Sony RPTV it replaced; the Sony CRT before that had some kind of etched (??) glass and was darkish so didn't show glare much. I rarely use the display when it's light outside, but in the summer that can mean I won't use it until after like 9:30pm. I get really bothered by glare (and lip-sync issues, and motion artifacts LOL), so I guess people have a different tolerance for it, like everything else. I just thought of this: I usually wear glasses when I watch TV, I'm not sure why, and that *may* make me more sensitive to glare?
