What are referring to with the screens? Matte vs Glossy?
Different letters in the serial code often indicate entirely different panels or revisions. This is often called the "panel lottery" by AV and computer buffs because many times you have to open the box to know what you are going to get LOL.

IE: Some LG and Panasonic LCD TVs you can end up with either an IPS or VA or TFT panel. On my own HP monitor, depending on the serial number, while the same model on the outside, internally it could have either been a Samsung or an LG Phillips LCD panel. I went through 5 boxes before getting the one with a Samsung panel that I wanted.

I don't know what the deal is with your specific TV, I'd google it. I think it's either an IPS or a VA panel you can get despite the LE5300 series being the same on the outside.

You want IPS, VA is not as good.
