Re: LCD vs PLASMA: IS GLARE LESS OF A DECIDING FACTOR?

While I prefer the picture quality of the Panasonic Plasmas, I wouldn't touch one with a barge pole due to the flickering. I could never go back to a TV/ monitor with flicker, it wrecks my eyes.
And just to add to the above... If you're really serious about the picture quality and viewing experience, you'd close the bay window curtains.

P.s. I have one of the Samsung panels with the 'Super Clear' panels and it sits perpendicular, around 3' away from French doors, in a south facing aspect. It has to be a very bright day to affect our viewing pleasure, with the curtains open.
