That certainly is a consideration.  My viewing room is very bright during the day, and even the DLP I now have can be not so good in the very bright sunlight from the 12' window on the south.  I have vertical blinds that I adjust to help.  

My previous TV was a Panasonic Plasma, and it had glare because of that light and the glossy screen.

If I had to pick a LCD or LED set, it would be a Sony Bravia XBR and I had actually considered one.  But alas, I wanted a 65" and the Sony at that size was $5200 on sale!  :(

I think that my viewing room is too brightly lit to consider plasma.

If you have a home theater setup, the internet on TV has pretty much no use at all.  My recent TV upgrade was to a 73" Mitsi DLP RPT which is the biggest bang for the buck out there, though Mitsi has now discontinued them.

If I hadn't gone to the DLP, only a plasma would have gotten consideration since LCD/LED just doesn't cut it for me.

I'd favour Internet TV . By all accounts it is inflexible as most brands don't drive this function and it won't be as update able or as capable to Add apps. But I expect the common ones will be there which is more convenient than a hockey puck. For me I'd have both

I'd avoid internet TVs, thinking that internet's done better by one of the hocky pucks.  Personal preference.  Seem to remember that Best Buy thot Sharp Aquos (?) were the only Sharps worth looking at.

The last two TVs that I have purchased have been ProScan and I have been very pleased with them.

I'd say that Internet connectivity could be interesting as that means maybe Netflix or pandora may be pre installed. Or Plex.

3 or more HDMI ports? Holy moly.

> I am in the market for a new TV & only know that I want an LED in the 50" to 60" size range that is 1080p 120Hz. I don't have much interest in 3D or internet connectivity, but would prefer 3 or more HDMI ports. Do any of our members have recommendations or comments on models that I should avoid? Thanks
