After researching the purchase of 2 LCD TV's for my kids, I was shopping around and discovered this Westinghouse. I actually didn't think it would be a serious TV, as it was less money that comparable LCD TV's sitting on either side of it on the stores shelf. All were on, and set to the same channel. So comparisons were easy! I was prepared to hate the Westinghouse, thinking is was in the same class as some of the "no name" brand sets..junk! After all it was less than $400.00!
But when we were getting ready to pick up the boxes of Phillips TV's and put them in the cart to take home, we started reading the box thatthe Westinghouse was in. Did my eyes deceive me? Did it really say LED on it! No way. We walked over the the high end and expensive LCD TV's. and the 32" ones that said LED were $700.00 plus! Samsungs, Vizio, Panasonics, etc.
First of all, an explanation for the "electronically challenged among us..like me! A regular LCD TV uses fluorescent edge lighting to shine thru the LCDs to make the picture viewable. Good enough!
Then there are newer technology LCD TV's with LED edge lighting...LED's all the way around the screen shine thru and illuminate the TV screen. Saves energy because LEDs use a small fraction of the energy as the fluorescent lights. Better but the black and darker colors are not as "black", and colors a bit washed out.
BUT...the Westinghouse LED back lit LCD's have black blacks! Deeper color, brighter, vibrant colors (wait till you see the yellows!). And way less energy, about the same as a 40 watt light bulb. And the TV is slim..I mean slim!
1" thick and 14 1/2 lbs!
Terrific featurers, nice price, outstanding technology for way less than others, all the featurers..great value over all! And I can't even begin to tout the picture quality except to say you have got to see it yourself!

Amazon Verified Purchase
I first noticed this television at Target when I saw the word LED and realized the the very inexpensive price ($429). The television looked pretty good on display, and was very thin. I decided to check if they had it on Amazon, and yes they did. However, the model number was different and it was much cheaper here. I'm guessing that the Target model (LD-3257DF) was specifically made for them, and on the website it lists that the model adds a QAM tuner. QAM isn't a necessity so I purchased this one.
The TV itself is very easy to put together, all you do is screw a few screws in for the base. Next just plug the TV into the wall for power and you're set. If you do use cable television, be sure to plug that in. Put the two batteries in the remote and press the red power button on the remote. One thing, the remote really does suck, it's very ugly and sometimes you do have to press a button twice in order to get it to work. I have no idea if you can set up another remote with it or not. When you first turn on the TV it will bring up a setup guide to search for channels. I had previously connected a coaxial cable to the RF Input, the TV scanned for channels and found the same amount as my older Sony did. However, when I began to skim the channels, they all looked disgusting. Even the HD channels it picked up (720p and 1080i) looks like crap. The Sony displayed these channels brilliantly. It crossed my mind that maybe I set my standards too high because of the Sony, after all, this is only a $350 dollar TV. As another reviewer said, it does take a couple seconds to change channels. Also, channel names will not be displayed as you switch.
I hooked up my PS3 to the TV via HDMI, and this is where the TV actually shines. I popped in Uncharted Drake's Fortune, and it actually looks pretty darn good. In the areas where there was sunlight the grass looked kinda iffy, but I was okay with that. In the really dark areas, it was pretty darn hard to see. Now this doesn't mean that the TV has excellent blacks, because it made almost everything black, I could barely see Drake's head. I must mention that there is a Dynamic Contrast setting which should be turned on in order to get blacker blacks, it seemed to help a lot. Playing HD movies through the PS3 looked pretty good too. Again though, the blacks were not very black. Also, you need to look directly at the TV to get the maximum viewing angle, any change in seating will diminish the all the colors to nothing. I do have one major gripe though that made me decide to return the TV, when using the PS3 and switching to a movie, or game, the TV will lose the signal from the PS3. It will say that it is searching, and after a minute, it will give up. Sometimes, this wouldn't happen, and sometimes it will happen, and the image will pick up after a few seconds. When the TV gives up on searching, I found that the only way to fix it would be to turn the TV off and on a couple times. When I popped in the Star Trek (2009) Blu-Ray, it did this in between the trailers. Star Trek looked good, but not great on the TV. I believe that a television viewing experience should be seamless. I am hoping that this was only my TV set, and if not, that Westinghouse should issue an update quickly.
About the sound, if you care anything at all about sound, please buy decent speakers to go with it. The TV has no bass, and will squeal if any high pitched noises come from it. There is an optical out which is nice.
A quick list of things I like and didn't like:
+Thin (1.5 inches maximum)
+LED Edge-lit
+Exceeds Energy Star 5.0 requirements
+Great for console gaming
+Very light
+Inexpensive
-Television channel quality
-Not the most vivid colors
-Blacks aren't very black
-Signal loss
-Very limited viewing area
I purchased this TV despite all the negative reviews I have read about the Westinghouse brand. Other people have liked this TV, I am hoping that I will be only a handful of unhappy customers. I recommend this TV if you are looking an inexpensive set for the kids, but not for a living room experience.

I have had good experiences with Westinghouse TV and monitors in the past so when i saw this LED TV at my local club at such a low price, I went ahead and get this and the 26" for my guest bedroom and home office. This 32" ends up in my office and 26" in the guest bedroom (LOL, the original plan was the reversed). The image is just amazing. 1080i source from my satellite box, and my PC. I totally love it!! The viewing angle is wide enough for me to roll my chair around the office and still get a great picture. Another amazing thing is how thin and light it is. I mean my other 32" LCD TV weights like almost twice heavier than this unit. I wish it has 4 HDMI rather than 2 but hey, for the price, i can't complain.
I highly recommend this TV for bedrooms and home offices because of the size. I think 32" is too small for a living room. I have a surround sound speaker system in my office and using that combined with the TV, I feel like I am in my own private movie theater. Now how do get my wife to stuff bugging me and I will live a peaceful and happy life.
