I agree...I just picked up a Panasonic TH42PZ77 for my mom's living 
room.  It sits 90 degrees to the large picture windows; even so, glare 
just isn't an issue.  I don't think I've seen a better anti-glare coating...

It also has a fantastic picture (even fed from an expressvu SD 
receiver).  I didn't have my mythbox at home when I hooked it up for 
her, but my Macbook, plugged in via DVI->HDMI, automatically set up for 
1920x1080 when I hooked it up, and content looked GREAT.
