I've got a minisplit Daikin that I had installed in a trouble part of the house; very happy with it.
FWIW, if it's going in a sleep area; it's quiet (to me, but I'm pretty hearing damaged) and there's no visual display on the unit itself, only the remote.
This is a blessing and a curse; when I had a minor issue with it the year after installation, it emits a series of beeps to tell you what's wrong (its own morse code, I guess) -- well, being hearing impaired, I couldn't tell what it was doing, and neither could my installer guy, as he has similar hearing damage. We both gave the company an earful over that, no pun intended.
I have another spot in the house I'd love to install one (son's bedroom, which is the bonus/over garage room) but there's no where to put it in the room, wall-wise (they're big). We wound up buying a freestanding one (the kind that looks sort of like a mini-fridge with a hose to vent to the outside via window) but I'm really hoping the Noria (link) comes out by next season and works as advertised.
