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.
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.
Unlike chadnliz I haven't found avsforums to be particularly helpful, there is just a ton of garbage to sift through. Personally I came away from every owner's thread thinking that particular model was a POS, which is often times not the case.
