We bought this tv to upgrade an older dlp so the quality difference is huge and we are very happy with it.
If you are questioning yourself between sony or samsung, go with the quality, which can never be samsung.
We decided to go with the sony over the samsung model because of the more natural look of the picture quality.

Competitiveness
4k upscaling from a blu-ray player (3d 4k blu-ray player around $250 @ amazon) with that capability plays well on this television.

What bestbuy, sony, etc are selling now is preorder of the yet to be released sony fmp-x10.
Picture qualitywhen watching 4k the picture is nothing short of breathe taking.

Everyone i just talked with sony the xbr65x850a does not have the h265 chip to stream netflix 4k but the xbr65x850b model does

The 850 is not a matte screen it is still somewhat reflective but it is nothing like the 900

So unless you only plan to only watch movies in a dedicated dark room i could not imagine the 900 working out

The funny thing is 1080p material looks just as good

So i did some screen captures of the same 1080p material on my computer monitor 1920x1080 and indeed i could tell a difference

Nothing huge mind you but it is something and gives reason for getting this tv even if you have no 4k material now
