I have it and I like it. It has an RGB issue currently, Sony is promising a fix this month. You either need to set that setting to 4:2:2 or 4:4:4.

I got mine this week and it did have a firmware update I had to apply to it.

If you hook it up to your network, under system settings you can just update it there.
