Agreed, I don't watch much TV in the day anyway. Even so, with the great viewing angle that this TV has it isn't difficult to move/rotate the TV so there is no glare.

Speaking of the view angle, I have no idea why they gave the Panasonic such a low grade since testing that at home, the view angles are quite better that what they listed there.
