Sony, Sharp, Samsung and Mitsubishi all make great LCD flat panels.The Samsung is the only one I've seen that has glossy and matte screens. The rest use light absorbing screens. I like the light sensors on the Sharps.When I have my window blinds open it comes in handy. The more light that enters the room the brighter the back light.it will also dim as the light fades..pretty cool indeed!

Very interesting. I have not come across that feature in my search. Could you provide a model number as a price reference? Would you recommend that over a matte-finish screen cover? TIA...

  The model number of my unit is LC-52D64U. It is a 52"..there is a newer model out now with a higher contrast ratio. You can still get one for around $1500 or less. A 42" or 46" should be considerably cheaper.
  Yes all the Sharps use the matte screens or light absorbing screens per the company's description. The light sensors are standard on most models, which is called OPC (Optical Picture Control).
  The new LED models are due out this fall. I haven't seen a price on the newest series. Which is supposed to have a contrast ratio of 1 million to One! That is better than any plasma on the market. I'm sure they won't be cheap though!
  When needed the Sharps can really throw some light if they have to(great for a sun filled room). They can be EXTREMELY bright. In most cases you won't use half of the back light brightness capabilities that Sharps are known for. I think many forget Sharp was the pioneer of LCD technology.
