1.0 out of 5 stars Worst purchase I have ever made., December 9, 2009

I purchased this tv on black friday of 2009 for 249$. I have had nothing but troubles with it since then. The picture will go out for a second, then 2 seconds, then 3 seconds, then up to 6 seconds, the screen just turns black. Sometimes it will look like it is glitching out. I can honestly say this is the worst 249$ I ever spent in my life. ADVICE TO ANYONE LOOKING TO PURCHASE A HDTV--- DO NOT BUY WESTINGHOUSE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest $600 I've Ever Spent!, February 14, 2010

That's right! I spent 600 Dollars on this about 2 and a half years ago, and I bought it at Best Buy, not Amazon. It has had some problems, glitches or what not but it's really nothing if you take into factor how great the picture is and how long it could last. Every day since Iv'e had it I've had it on for atleast 12 hours, so obviously it's not completley cheap, you see buying this a while back, even for 600, I knew it was a cheap LCD Tv, so I didn't expect much of it, and it was my first Hdtv purchase, though it delivers everything that a 720P TV can.

like the above users my review is not actually for this model, but for the model that was sold at target for $248 on black friday.

I have been using this television for over a month now and i have very few complaints. the TV was packaged very well and i was very suprised how slim it was. I had been using a regular tube television for years and finally felt like this one was the perfect size and price for me to upgrade on, and for now im glad i did. The colors are very vivid and in high definition 720p the picture is superb. i feel that the 720p display has been amazing and i do not at all regret my purchase, im not sure how the picture could be any better as everything is already crystal clear in hd. All of my friends have 1080p big screen televisions that i regularly watch and i must say that when i have mine connected in HD i am unable to notice any major difference in picture quality. Im sure their resolution is better, but there has never been a time where i have noticed my television is lacking on any color or definition aspects.

-when i first got it out of the box i noticed how well packaged it was, and is covered by shrink rap which you can chose to leave on. it covers the outer edges of the unit.
-when first connecting it to the cable box i had problems setting channels, i want to say it asked me every time i turned the Tv on the first few times to program channels, but has since kept all of those settings.
-The colors and definition of picture is very clear. i had a friend who purchased a sylvania television on sale and mine definitely has more vivid colors and better picture than his did.
- i have used the television for a computer monitor, to play movies and video games. The picture quality was much better on the television than it was on my monitor for downloaded movies. it seems like the image buffer in the televisions works to clear up some of the blurryness of my movie downloads and actually made some of my poor quality rips look like standard dvd playback.. Game play was good, but i think its a little too large to use if your going to set it up on your desk with a keyboard infront of it.
- i really wish there was a "picture in picture" setting for this tv. I assumed all new larger televisons came with this, but apparently they dont. it would have been an amazing machine to have both my computer and television on the screen at once.


After seeing some of the reviews for older westinghouse products i am hoping that they have fixed their previous issues. that being said i am very happy with my new purchase.

pro's:
-very clear picture
-great colors

cons:
-The remote: if the remote is not pointed directly at IR port which is directly under the W symbol on the TV, it will not recognize any signal. It seems like the remote has to be exactly level and pointed directly at the front of the TV to work.
-i noticed almost immediately how cheap the speakers sounded when i first turned the Tv on. they sounded like a cheap set of computer speakers, but after adjusting the functions in the menu it sounds fine now.
-There is no headphone port for "line out". however there are the audio out ports on the back which you can buy a plug to convert into a headphone jack from radioshack. i wanted this because i have a very expensive set of amplified computer speakers i wanted to connect since i thought sound quality wasnt up to par with my old tube television


in summary, if you can buy this tv on sale for anywhere near $300 i would definitely recommend it. however with targets price back up to $429 i would purchase a name brand unit just because some of the previous westinghouse models have had problems. I only gave this product 4 stars because i feel like the speakers are cheap, and the remote feels cheap as well, with several buttons on the remote that arent even used. You would think something that retails for $429 would feel like it did, but the remote still makes me feel like its a $250 tv i got on sale because it doesnt work very well.

so far my unit has been a great purchase, i got it for $238 after i signed up for a 10% savings with a target red card.
