Reviewed by: AnonymousUpdated: 19-Mar-08 Strengths: A good workout from shipping them back. Weaknesses: Keep having to send them back. Overall Evaluation: Being I am on my fourth Westinghouse TV I can not rate them high at all. My first set had the sound go out early on so it went back to the place where I purchased it. The second set developed sound issues as well, so it went back too. The third lasted a little longer before developing display problems with lines in the screen. This one had to back to Westinghouse directly. So after talking with them I was ashored that they would expidite the replacement being this is my forth TV and should take no more than two weeks. Ok fine no problem.To make a long story short. It?s now been over a month and still no TV. When I call all I get is ?it?s in processing?, I?ve talked with supervisors hoping to get some additional info, and again nothing. Just false promise?s and shipping dates that don?t happen. So I call again and say ?ok, so when is it going to go out?? and again I get ?any day now, it?s in processing if you don?t get it by such and such a date call us back?.What a bunch of crap! I?... |

Reviewed by: garyvanderstelUpdated: 04-Mar-08 Strengths: Great connectivity and easy setup. Color and other settings very good right out of the box. Excellent picture, especially when considering great price. Nice matte finish. Weaknesses: Stand is a little less than solid, though usable. Overall Evaluation: Very nice picture quality and a full selection of connectivity options for a best-in-class price makes this unit a great deal. The side pointing connections along the center spine are very convenient. The on-screen setup menus are straightforward and helpful. Sources are recognized automatically and the remote can also switch them easily. The remote layout is basic, with 3 programmable channel buttons. Though black/grey tone display has been discussed as this unit's weak point, without side-by-side comparison, I find no issues there and find that overall it delivers solid performance. |

Reviewed by: NillaGoonUpdated: 19-Feb-08 Strengths: Superb cabinet design, excellent value, no dead/stuck pixels, fantastic picture quality on bright/colorful images, very low power comsumption with backlight turned down (~120 Watts), lots of inputs Weaknesses: Sometimes has trouble switching inputs, blanks out for several seconds whenever input format changes, blacks are grayish, poor display of shadow detail Overall Evaluation: I was aware that this model had some issues from reading the AVSForum discussion (I highly suggest Googling for this), but I took the plunge anyway because of the unit's low price and otherwise great features (4 HDMI inputs, 1080p). So far I'm very happy with it. Some of the supposed problems are reproducible on my unit, but they really don't seem to be that significant. Other reported problems I have not seen at all, so YMMV.This TV is stellar for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 games, since these sources tend to be relatively bright and colorful and play to the Westie's strengths. I don't see any lag or smearing. I've had no connectivity problems with either game console. The PS3 does switch video modes frequently, which is a minor annoyance on this TV.The TV's weak spot is dark material such as the movie Dark City. It's certainly watchable, but in addition to the relatively high gray levels I have the impression that a lot of shadow detail is di... |

Reviewed by: thedav1dUpdated: 18-Feb-08 Strengths: Price, 1080P, easy setup Weaknesses: remote Overall Evaluation: I owned the 40" model that has the DVD player and had no problems, so I thought I'd give this a try. I have been very pleased with the purchase. Setup was easy. It took a while to scan all of my cable channels, but it found all of them including the HD channels. The audio is a little low, but not that big of a deal. The picture is very clear. Especially when watching HD sporting events. DVDs look great too. The remote is a little touchy. Sometimes it thinks I pressed the button twice when I only pressed it once. I am very pleased with this TV and I would recommend it. |

Reviewed by: wmichladiesmanUpdated: 23-Jan-08 Strengths: big, 1080p Weaknesses: not sure Overall Evaluation: I like the size of this much better. My 37 inch was to small. The price on this was the best part. It seems to do everything the TVs costing way more do. |
