2.0 out of 5 stars Great TV, But Suffers from Lip Sync Problem, June 13, 2007

Westinghouse SK-26H520S 26" LCD HDTV

First, I love this television. The screen is beautiful, and there are a ton of inputs (2xHDMI, 2xComponent, VGA, and more!). The tech support team in Maine is top notch and very friendly. The problem is the lip sync. I've seen it with component cabling and standard video inputs. It doesn't seem as bad when I watch my DVD's via HDMI cabling.

I bought this unit at Sam's Club in Tallahassee and have already returned one unit only to discover the second one does it as well. I've got another week before I have to return it, and I'm still not sure what we're gonna do. Great screen for an awesome price ($480 here), but the lip sync issue is a true pain to endure.

Without the lip sync problem, I'd give this TV FIVE STARS, but TWO is as much as I can rate it for now.

For what it's worth, Westinghouse support says that not all the units have this problem. I guess it's time for me to take it back and try Number Three.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fix for Audio/Video sync issue, March 22, 2008

By 

Shawn McCullough (Illinois) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Westinghouse SK-26H520S 26-Inch LCD HDTV (Electronics)

Like many others, I had the problem where my audio would become out of sync with my video. The good news is that I have found a solution.

The issue is related to the firmware on the TV, which can be updated by the user from the comfort of their own home. Go to http://www.westinghousedigital.com/firmware.aspx and enter your serial number to get the newest firmware and follow the instructions to update (you may need to register your product first). It is as simple as loading the firmware onto a flash drive and plugging it into the TV.

The problem was frustrating but the amazing picture quality and the user upgradeable firmware warrants this product 5 stars.
