1.0 out of 5 stars Volume sounds like a tin can, June 21, 2010

Bought this for the brand, but am very disappointed in the sound quality. It actually sounds like there's a piece of plastic muffling the TV speakers, which is not just annoying, it's perplexing. Why build an "eco" green TV that's just going to end up in a landfill with the rest of the trash?

1.0 out of 5 stars Should have waited, May 24, 2010

I bought this TV because it was the only model available in my price range in stock. Should have waited.
As has been mentioned in other reviews, the sound is barely adequate, and that's if it's being viewed without any outside noise interference at all. An electric fan can drown it out.
The picture is good. No complaints there. Reliability is terrible. Sometimes when the power is turned on no picture will appear. The unit needs to be unplugged for several seconds, then retried. This sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Sometimes the volume and mute function can be controlled by the remote; sometimes not. Sometimes adjusting the volume results in the TV turning itself off. The sales associate at Target confirmed that they have had numerous complaints and returns of this model, and suggested that I exchange it for a different brand.

If the model I had purchased functioned at its best consistently, I would give it three stars. Due to reliability issues, one star seems appropriate.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it, January 14, 2010

The picture on this tv is great. It is also light weight. My issue is the volume. Even with the TV on full blast it was barely audible! I called westinghouse and they said for me to buy a home theater sound system. Uh, I just bought a brand new tv, should i not be able to HEAR IT without a sound system? It is packed up in the box and being returned today.

If you already have a home theater sound system, then this tv might be fine for you; but if you don't have one, i would not recommend it as you won't be able to hear the tv!!
