Does anyone bought this model? Can comment about its quality?

Does it still have banding issues?

Is it better than sony lcd tvs? i heard sony lcds have very deep black so much so that night scenes are too dark.
is sony lcds picture quality better than sharp? i can't find a similar spec sony lcds at similar price points.
the feature i'm looking for is 100hz. so far sony W series does not have 100Hz.

can't decide whether to get sharp or sony as both have amazing picture quality. i guess sharp is the better choice as the price is right with 100Hz and deep color.
If the picture quality is better or same as sony lcds, there will be no more questions as to which brand i will buy.
