Normally I'd suggest a Panasonic plasma, but I think
THIS PN58B650 Samsung is a better choice in your situation. This set has an excellent filter on it and it will do a much better job in a bright setting. It preserves black very well in these conditions. For just under $1800 shipped its a great deal. If you want to step it up a bit you can get
THIS PNB860 for $2200 shipped. It is a lot more stylish being that its very thin and elegant. Its picture is excellent as well as its filter. I believe these to be your best choices in bright conditions should you go with plasma.
