 Westinghouse large screen TV June 29, 2008
R. Harry (Atlanta, GA)
Within the first week of receiving the product, the left side of the screen created a black shadow. Upon calling customer support, their response was to reset the default settings. Doing so did not fix the problem. If I turn the TV set off for a few minutes and then turn it on again, the picture will display as expected. The screen continues to create a black shadow at unsuspecting intervals. I have not received satisfactory support from customer service. I feel the TV should be replaced with a new one.
Westinghouse product breaks - Company Does not stand behind its product June 5, 2008

I purchased a Westinghouse TV and within 4 months the TV was broken. At that point I called customer support and they were NOT willing to stand behind thier product. I asked if they found it reasonable for a TV go out in 4 months, all they said was that they could not help me.
 Best "bang for your buck" April 16, 2008
J. Montano (Toronto, Canada)
I knew what I wanted when I went shopping for my first flat-panel display. I play alot of video games and watch alot of shows, both on disc and on television. So, I needed a display that worked well for all my requirements. I settled on LCD, and my space dictated I look at a 42" set. My choices had narrowed to two: the Toshiba (also 1080p)and the Westinghouse. Both displays were showing hockey from a set-top HD box, via component cables. Luckily, they were also side-by-side. Needless to say, my eyes were sold on the Westinghouse. Perhaps it is in the eye of the beholder, but the colours were much more vivid on the Westinghouse.
In any case, I now have the following setup:
a) HD set-top cable box (via HDMI)
b) XBox 360 (through VGA)...for those with non-Elite 360s that do not have HDMI ports, a VGA connection is the only way you will get 1080p resolution.
c) HD-DVD Player (XBOX 360 add-on)
d) Nintendo Wii (through Component cables)
SD programs and nintendo Wii games look plain (because 480p on a HDTV will and the Wii's graphics are pretty crappy). Channels like HDNET, Discovery HD, Nat'l Geographic....just look FANTASTIC. I'll watch water drop off a leaf in 1080i on this TV!! HD-DVD movies (and I would guess the Blu-Ray ones as well) are even better!! Chronicles of Riddick is a great one to showcase this TV's capabilities.
As for games, Gears of War never looked so good! Same for Halo 3 and Devil May Cry 3.
If you're just getting your first flat-panel, this is surely one to consider, as it won't set you back a fortune, and you will be ready when programs start coming out in 1080p resolution.
 Great tv. Great value. April 2, 2008
Brendan Williams-kief (DC, USA)
Got the 42 inch Westinghouse after reading a number of reviews and really doing my research. CNet called it the best value LCD and I've gotta say I agree. Sure, you'll find sets with slightly better black levels and design wise it is a bit utilitarian, but all and all it's a phenominal value for VERY good picture and true 1080p HD. If you're looking to delve into the world of HD this TV is the best way to do so.
Great TV for the Price February 27, 2008
C. Whealdon (Ohio USA)
Pros: Great Color Accuracy, Multiple HDMI inputs, Nice Design and appearance
Cons: Standard Def performance
This is a great tv for the price. The color accuracy is great. The menu options for tweaking the picture are excellent. I have Direct TV HD service and a HD DVD player hooked up. The HD DVD picture quality at 1080p is outstanding. For under $1000 dollars this is a great value for the money.
