Well, Khail was right.  The glare is no worse than it was on my 26" Sony LCD that this was replacing.  Picked up the stand for $200 and it's really nice.  50" 1080P, HTS 5.1/media center, and stand all for under a grand.  We're stoked!
Edit: To clarify, the reflections are definitely worse.  With the blinds open, I can see my own reflection from the couch.  However it's really faint and no more annoying than the "glare" from the matt screen on the LCD.  I also may just be blinded by my lust for the set.
