Tip on room lighting

I have a 60" tv with a protective clear plastic screen over it. No matter where I put my light I could see its refection in the screen. After several attempts to move it I put it behind the tv. I cant stress what a difference this made to the quality of my picture. Better colors, blacks, and a much better depth of field. It works so good I thought I would pass on the usefull tip.

Generally,you remove the plastic protective screen all together,/unless you have children,or careless adults playing nearby. Removing the "cover" gets rid of all the glare or daytime reflection.If you do, you will see how that plastic alters colors.I haven't used mine in 3 years. When I first removed mine,I stood it up,so that 1/2 the tv "had" the protection,and 1/2 didn't.Changes the whites,and has a small effect on "all" the colors.

A friend has a large projection TV and he put a light behind it. Its not very bright but it distracts me and I always turn it off when he's not looking. The screen should be much brighter than its surroundings. It might just be me but I hate that light!
