Fellow Polk Audio club members,
Do you feel that a hdtv shows a better picture with or without the glass screen protector? My friend got a 53" Panasonic TV from C.C. because it was a model that came with no screen shield. I wanted to talk him into getting one with the shield. What do you guys think? (watching the TV in the dark should not produce a glare anyway)

    if i had one id want the screen protector, just cuz id want to protect something that expensive from everything. but if i noticed a better picture quality with it off, id ditch the protector and just take good care of my tv.

    RPTV's will ALWAYS look better without the anti-glare screen, primarily because you can turn the contrast down. This also helps protect against burn-in, since you'll be running your set at a much lower contrast.
    Equipment list:
    Onkyo TX-NR3010 9.2 AVR
    Emotiva XPA-3 amp
    Polk RTi70 mains, CSi40 center, RTi38 surrounds, RTi28 rears and heights
    SVS 20-39CS+ subwoofer powered by Crown XLS1500
    Oppo BDP-93 Blu-ray player
    DarbeeVision DVP5000 video processor
    Epson 8500UB 1080p projector
    Elite Screens Sable 120" CineWhite screen

    I have a mits 55 & i use the screen protector. I had glare but Recently went to walmart purchased 220" of black canvas material & hung it behind my seating area & over the vertical blinds, also put dark brown sheets over the couch & that cut about 90% of the glare. I dont see myself anymore when watching a movie! Cheep upgrade only $30 for the material & $3.00 for some cloth pins!
