in the market for a 42" or 46" LCD w/matte-finish screen cover

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

I have been looking at the different models at the typical stores. In my room, with windows and a sliding glass door behind the couch, I think I need to go with a TV w/a matte-type finish on the screen cover as opposed to glossy. The left side of the room opens into the kitchen as well. Night viewing w/a glossy screen could prove to be distracting if any kitchen lights are on.

Any recommendations for a "not-so-glossy" LCD TV in the 42-46" range around $1500? Obviously I do not want to skimp on video specs such as 720p vs 1080, contrast ratio, etc. If a higher price can be justified by better picture/motion quality, I am all ears (eyes?).

I will be reading specs/reviews on CNET for the time being, but figured I would throw it out there to the video gurus for some recommendations.

thanks in advance...
