Yes, it's LVP - specifically, this product in "silent morning".

I got a really good deal - it sells for $6-$6.50 per square foot and I paid under $4. Which is still on the higher side for LVP, but it's very good stuff. The thing that really sells it for me, aside from the beveled joints in the plant, is that while most LVPs have ridges and grooves to make it "feel" like wood, those contours are random, and bear no relationship to the pattern printed on the plank. For this stuff the contours and the print match up, so where it looks like there's a ridge or a knot on the plank from the print, there actually is one.
The other thing is it's extremely easy to clean and HILARIOUSLY durable. If I'd done engineered hardwood I would definitely have a bunch of dings and scratches by now with the electrical and finishing work that's been done since the floor went down but not with this stuff.
The only downside is that I felt given that this is the most premium LVP product they offer, they should have varied the patterns more, especially on a lighter tone wood - you can see certain features repeat if you're looking closely, even though when I was installing it I did my best to make sure there was some distance between similar planks. But with rugs and furniture breaking things up, it'd be hard to notice even if you were looking for it.
