seeking 55 inch LED TV matte Screen, 2011 model

Looking to purchase a 2011 55 inch LED, 3D compatible HDTV with a matte screen. Samsung and Panasonic only offer glossy screens which relect much glare. Only Vizio and LG offer 2011 models with a matte screen. I know a glossy screen is more vibrant, but it also gives me eye strain due to the glare it produces. In short, when the TV is off I do not want to be able to use the screen as a mirror. Any specific model recommendation would be helpful. My budget is $2500.00.

Always wondered about questions re: video on Audiogon. There used to be a link at the bottom of the page but regardless, you do know there's a Videogon (Audiogons' little sister!;)

Docdan50 is incorrect, the sharp aquos does not have a 55" and is glossy.

Sony EX720 fits your criteria

Good luck getting any help on Videogon. I've yet to ever sell a single thing on there. (not much traffic) I just jumped over there for the heck of it, and if they even have a forum, I didn't see it. I would say of the two, this is the better place to ask for advice.

The LG 55LW6500 is quite a good looking set that has a matte screen. I am curious to see the new full array "Nano" LED that they are coming out with but it will have a piece of glass over the screen I believe so that option is out.

The PLEX media server software that LG uses for file sharing is quite neat as well--if you have a media library that you want to network it is really quite slick in terms of how it skins your downloads and it has a ton of plugins that you can take advantage of as well.

AVSforum.com is where the serious videophiles get their info. This is as good as it gets for audio but one look around avs will show you what I mean.
