JVC 48WP55 at Costco's

[Hovglove]

Costco's is selling this set for 999.99. The pic looks great. Is it worth it or should I go for a newer model?
How is JVC quality?

was eyeing the same set today @ costco in pa. picture seems quite clear. size is a plus for us since this is headed down into a finished basement. bub
