I have not found any of the expert websites that have reviewed the tv yet since LED is the newest technology coming out in the LCD tv market. Here are the customer reviews from best buy and the price listing.

What's great about it: Picture looks good, anti-glare is nice
What's not so great: Volume adjustments cause blocked image on screen
"Before considering this TV you need to ask yourself a question. How important is adjusting volume during viewing. Personally I adjust volume alot exspecially during commericals. This TV will drive you insane. It shows a standard framed configuration screen during each adjustment, as if you need to do something more important... It is the worst affender I have seen concerning volume control visual feedback. Most TVs will show some small bars or even have the option to disable visual feedback. Not this TV, you see a huge screen prompt that stays in the middle of the screen in full view for about 5 seconds. Honestly, it makes the TV almost useless."

What's great about it: Great HD Picture
What's not so great: Not much
"This is the 3rd HD TV in the house. I bought it mainly for HD gaming and movies. Great HD picture. Better than my 2 year old LCD 120hzToshiba and equal to my new LCD 120hz Samsung, but several hundred cheaper. The picture is a light, but easily corrected with the menu options. The menu could be better, but almost everything you need is there. I got it under $900 with a Best Buy coupon. I have no issues with the sound. It is heavy on treble and light on bass, but that does not bother me. Bezel is larger than it needs to be and I am not a fan of inputs on the side, they stick out. It looks like last year's Samsung.
Overall a great TV for the money. I love the 2 year warranty. My Toshiba has been rock solid, but my Samsung had to be replaced within 3 months. The Insignia and Samsung have a much better picture than the Toshiba. To be fair, the Samsung was expensive and the Toshiba was about the price of the Insignia, plus the 2 year old Toshiba has a hard time switching between 480 and 1080 signals. The picture is average on 480 signal, but that could be a function of the size. I recommend this TV for people who are shopping price and who will watch HD signal. When the picture is all black, you get some light from the sides, but it fades when the color comes online. There is a power on delay, but again, it does not bother me. Great TV for the price."

What's great about it: Nice display, excellent picture, little glare, fine detail.
What's not so great: Speakers, sound equalizer
"This was my family's first new tv in over 10 years, and we are thus far very satisfied with this Insignia LCD-LED tv. The picture that the tv makes is absolutely amazing, the details are very fine and crisp. It does take the tv a little bit to adjust to bright scenes in the program or picture that is displayed on the screen. There is a lag of 5-10 seconds from hitting the power button on either the remote or the tv to actually seeing the picture; that being said, it was not a very big concern on my behalf, and I'm completely fine with it. This tv is currently in a very well lit in room with many windows letting light in, and there is very little glare from the screen, and it is very easy to see the picture. There are several picture modes that you can set the tv to, and all of them worked excellent in the field in which they were intended for (cinema for movies, vivid for games, etc.). The only weak part of this tv were the speakers, and the audio settings. I would advise to purchase or hook up a nice home theater system, as the speakers in this tv are very quite marginal. They are heavy on the treble and extremely lacking on the bass. I have also found the audio settings to be somewhat frustrating as even with my theater system hooked up, there is little to no bass, even with a subwoofer hooked up. I am currently investigating in fixing this problem. Overall I would highly recommend this tv, as it gives a nice crisp, detailed and fine picture. Also, being an LED-LCD, it should also be quite light on the electricity it consumes. Last but not least, the assembly out of the box was extremely easy, no special skills needed as there were only 4 screws that needed to be screwed in to attach the base to the tv."
