I see what you are saying, my Samsung Series 9 is very shiny, looks terrific, but half of the time I am looking at my rear wall / myself, when the scenes are dark.... Thats just not good enough. They need to keep the glossyness down to a bare minimum. OK it might appear less sharp but your seeing more of the original image, guarantee you that.
If the whole point of these screens is to come even closer to a perfect image, seeing what the director intended... thats fantastic, BUT with the glare that screen shows, in any room with any sort of lighting at all, the glare, and reflections can only negate the benefits of that improved image.
I hope the manufacturers don't go down this route of making the average Joe say "wow" with the shiny screens and extreme contrast / brightness.....
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
