LCD TVs with "glass" screen

i was in D.I.D. the other day and there was 2 samsung 40" LCD TVs, but one cost about €100 more than the other. when i asked why, the salesman showed me that one had a "glass" screen which resulted in more vibrant colours and darker blacks. i have a laptop with this type of screen and it is far better than the standard…

my question is this... would reflections from daylight, lightbulbs, etc. be an issue with this screen? it is ok for the laptop as you are staring directly at it and no one else is, but a TV is normally watched from multiple angles within a room if you have 2 couches / chairs.

depends which was the tv is angled. my room has a window shinning directly onto my tv and the reflections are fairly noticeable. so much so that i usually close the blinds in daylight when im watching something. but at nighttime the picture is brilliant.
