is it normal to get reflection on led tvs like plasmas?

I cannot speak from a scientific view point, but if there is a sufficiently powerful light source to the side or behind the viewer, it can be reflected.

There are slight reflections depending on the lighting in the room. The screen is like a matte finish and not shiney. We have ours in a finished basement with light coming in from the glass block and I can see the reflection of the windows slightly. Nothing major that affects the picture. We are quite pleased with it. Hope this answers your question. Also it is self adjusting to the lighting around it. Last night I began watching a program (had just turned the tv on) and I thought it looked too dark. Within seconds the tv adjusted itself so that the picture was perfect, color and brightness.

No, it isn't noticeable. I have this TV and unless I shine a flashlight directly onto the bezel, I can't distinguish any "touch of color".

I didn't have that particular problem. However, I did return the TV because when the TV was on there appeared to be a tear (the way a torn piece of paper looks) across the top of it. I bought a 60 inch Samsung plasma and I Love It!

That sounds strange to me. Mine does none of that as far as I can tell. Perhaps I'm not as perceptive as others. So I may be wrong. But when I play 3D movies or games and others are sharing the experience I've never had anyone complain, and they are all over the room at various angles. If mine were doing those things I would not be happy at all. I also own an LG passive 3D led television. It has none of those issues either. I hope that you can find some resolution. Good Luck.

Kevin, I am not answering your question but I am confirming that I have the same problem with Samsung I just purchased 3 days ago. It is a complete mirror in my family room. People say plasma or lcd/led has better picture quality, but if all you can see is the reflection of the room or trees and clouds in the sky reflecting from your window, then I would say that would be a very very poor quality picture. And shouldn't you be able to enjoy your TV and look outside your window at the same time? You shouldn't have to make your room like a cave to see your TV. We love our big windows and well-lit room. Never had this problem with our previous DLP. Sorry, just venting. I'm going in the store today to look at the Mitsubishi DLP's.

These televisions use different technologies. Plasma is great if you are watching in a room with no light opposite the screen. The Plasma screen has a glass surface that is highly reflective, so if you have a window in back of you, it will reflect off the glass. However, if you plan to watch in a room that does not have light opposite the television, you cannot beat the Plasma. My brother has a Vizio, which he loves. I love my Panasonic. I also have an LED, a Samsung, which is quite good as well. I have read about some customer service issues with the Vizios, but I have no personal experience with that, only hearsay.

Any add ons that "work" will almost certainly diminish the light output of your TV, and that can be problematic for plasmas, far more than for LCD/LED. Like many plasma and LCD/LED sets, the PZ550 is fairly glossy, although less so than many (less than the current Panasonic non-3D series, for example, but far more than the ST60 and up.)

I have been playing my ps4 and is not bad for a plasma tv, of course picture on a LED would be much cleaner. Overall I think that it has a great picture for gaming.

The surface of the TV is Glass and it is VERY reflective. I have the television in a room with recessed lighting in the ceiling so the glare isn't an issue but any floor lighting will reflect. I also have large windows and you want to make sure that your TV is positioned so they won't be reflected directly from your viewing angle. Also, you will probably want to keep the blinds closed during the day if you are watching television. The best comparison I can think of is that this TV is about as reflective as old CRT televisions. That being said, this TV has among the highest picture quality I have ever seen, irrespective of price, and I do not regret my purchase at all.

I second Mithun: "The tv has a high gloss to it. So you will get reflection. Even on a matte screen, but glossy is worse. Now, if you block out some of that light - it's worth it. The TV will truly shine at night. The contrast and color saturation is awesome:

Yes. My tv is located in a room with an eastern exposure and over 300sq ft of windows (22' ceilings) and I have absolutely no issues with reflections.

Well one thing to consider is if you play vidoe games. I have done some research myself and there has been a lot of talk about "burn in" with the plasma tv's. If you play video games and there is something on the screen that doesn't move or change very much then that image could burn into the tv screen. Just something else to consider.

I have not had an issue with it reflecting light however, I don't have any light sources on the same level. It certainly shows a flashlight when directed into the screen, but only the actual bulb reflection, not glare. Hope this helps.

I purchased this TV in December this past year. Even though this TV has nonreflective glass, you will still get some sort of reflection with any direct light. The nonreflective glass does a decent job mitigating this. Much better than a normal glass panel would do. You shouldn't have any problem with natural light unless there is direct light coming in such as sunlight. The good thing is you can always make adjustments with the backlighting and the brightness controls. Hope this helps!

not sure about relative to led's. but i had a plasma before this one and i could hardly watch when the blinds were open. with this one the image is clear as a bell. no issues in a well lit room. happy with my set. believe the hype.

I believe all flat screen TVs have some reflection on their screens from windows, table tamps, etc. (I don't know any that don't.) My Samsung does have some screen reflection but the screen is semi-matte and the picture itself is very bright so it over-rides the reflections to a great extent. I don't like it but I don't know of any others that are any better. If you don't want any reflections you'll have to go back to the old CRT rear projection sets. The special thing about the Samsung is the brightness of the picture.
