Very happy with it, stunning picture quality,...

Deep blacks, extremely vivid colors, bright whites. Reflective screen hasnt bothered me, image is richer than matte screen. Originally wanted a plasma but found the LED puts out more light for a more vivid image, with arresting color and inky blacks
