LED is just the backlight. At extreme angles sure but the image will be pristine at any normal viewing angles. Are you happy with the viewing angles on your LCoS? I remember there being issues with mine at extreme angles but for a RP TV it had decent viewing angles but no better than a high end LCD. Even with people at the side of the room would have a dimmed image but it was still perfectly watchable.

Obviously with any display you want to sit as centered as possible but I doubt anyone in his family or his friends would notice or it would affect their experience.

I guess I'm just more picky about viewing angles. The viewing angles on my LCoS are tolerable, but I certainly would be much happier without the issue, and it's one of the biggest reasons that I know I'll be upgrading in the next year or so.

But anyway, have you seen this set in person? My father purchased one, the 46" version, and we were both disappointed with the viewing angles compared to a normal fluorescent backlit LCD. Black levels were fantastic although if you came closer to the screen you could see some slight light bleeding between a very bright object and a pitch black object. Not bad or anything but you could notice it up close.

Even CNET complains that the "picture washes out and discolors from off-angle":

Plasma's, especially high end ones like the Pioneer, are known for their fantastic viewing angles as well.
