We have an older model flat screen and whenever you have a light turned on opposite the TV, it reflects in the screen. A friend was telling me that new TVs don't do this. How is that possible?

Does it affect visual quality at all? Do TV, movies, etc., look just as good through a matte finish as they do through a smooth one?

Supposedly,
The matte finish is less bright, if all else is equal.
A trick to reducing reflections is to mount the panel tilting downward (out more into the room) at the top of the panel, than at the bottom.
I've had luck placing my flat screen with a high gloss glass screen, against the wall with the most Windows , if there are any.
Try not to let too much ambient (or direct) light exist out in front of the screen.
Easier said than done if not in a dedicated home theater.
