MicroCenter had a Fathers day sale on this TV for $899!

Incredible price for a UHD/IPS display IMHO.... Anyway, I told my friend and he went a picked one up before they were gone (7 units gone in 1 day). The catch was, he has an adult son living at home who is Bi-Polar and has a tendency towards destruction so he asked if I could keep it at my house for a month or so until his son moves out. Well.... Being the great friend that I am agreed to hold on to it for him (Evil Grin
)...
Mini Review:
I bought a 60" 1080P plasma there about a year ago and LOVE it! I'd have to say this new set may actually be a little better. The biggest advantage is screen glare is much less, and the IPS panel has a viewing angle comparable to my plasma. It offers deep blacks, brilliant colors and whites, and even though it's upconverting 1089P the pixels are so small they virtually dissapear.
I'm still trying to tune it, factory settings where oversaturated and oversharpened (not uncommon). I'm pretty sure with a true 4k source the picture would be breathtaking!
My camera and skills as a photographer are pretty bad, but I thought I'd post a couple pics (They don't do it justice!).
