Yes, in the states. The tv will be getting direct sunlight for some of the day, so I'd like the tv that handles glare/reflections best.
Interesting, appreciate the insight. Primarily for using the tv for sports viewing, occasionally gaming and movies. Viewing angle is relatively important given room setup, but from the research I've done, none of the tv's perform too well in that area.According to Rtings the MU9000 is best at handling reflections but it's advantage would appear to be small over the X900E. The X900E is the significantly better TV in terms of PQ so I would say the Sony is the better pick. Here in the UK the Samsung is cheaper but you can get the Sony for less in the states making it the obvious choice IMO. They do suggest reflections may be an issue on the Vizio though so perhaps forget that one. What will you be watching on the TV and do you need wide viewing angles?

The reflectivity of the TV is one element, but the overall brightness of the TV is important too. On a TV that's turned off you can see reflections even in relatively low light, but they vanish as soon as the TV is turned on because they're much more difficult to see against a bright surface.
In a well lit room a high brightness will make reflections less distracting and increase contrast so the TV looks less washed out.
Normally the choice for that is the Sony XE93 but that's only available in 55" and 65" and while the ZD9 and XE94 are almost as bright they're a lot more money.
