The picture is a little less bright than some other LCDs out there, but I just bought it for $440 when it's all over the place for $500 + (not even inc tax or shipping). So I am very happy with the purchase.

The TV also allows you to save each channel by station ID or by signal #. Interesting... Also, it's light enough to move around from room to room or hang on a full motion swivel arm.

Good buy as long as you're not a super techno geek who expects absolute perfection.

Like a lot of people I've been reading about, I started having problems with my Westinghouse LCD television only a few months after purchasing it. Unfortunately, my problems are sporadic and, not noticing them when viewing cable television, I assumed that this problem was caused by the other input source I used on it (a video game console). I had that unit serviced twice, and by the time I realized that the problem was with the television and not the input source, the unit was out of warranty by about 3 months. Despite having documentation to show that my problems began only a few months after buying their product, their customer disservice department basically told me I was up poop creek. I guess it was crazy of me to expect a $600 television to work properly for a whole year and a half. Thanks for nothing, Westinghouse! Next time, I'll go with Toshiba or Samsung, and I would encourage anyone else to do the same.

Pros

Lots of inputs, is still semi-functional a whole 15 months after purchase.

Cons

Discolored static on areas of uniform color (esp. white and red), framerate drops (bad for gaming), customer service is unresponsive and will allegedly make you pay out of your own pocket for any service they grudgingly provide, other customers have reported sets going dead entirely.

I got one of these tv's almost exactly a year ago. It died (basically turned itself into a radio) about two weeks ago. I left the room for a few minutes, came back and the screen was black, but I could still hear audio coming from it.

Apparently the backlight died. Westinghouse seems to only have two places in the country where you can send your tv to be repaired, and from what I've read about other owners of this tv, the repair centers cant really be called "repair" centers.

Big waste of money, dont buy this tv.
