Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With its standard TV and computer-monitor 4:3 aspect ratio, Westinghouse Digital's 15-inch W31501 LCD television is well suited to viewing broadcast TV, PC use, or both. It's also small enough to position in a kitchen, bedroom, or on a wall, picture-frame style. The flat-panel set produces sharp, high-contrast images from both interlaced and progressive-scan video sources, and its advanced PIP (picture-in-picture) abilities provide the ultimate in PC TV convenience.

The 1,024 x 768-pixel W31501 features an ultrathin, 5.3-inch profile with wide, 165-degree viewing angles that makes it possible to view a clear picture from almost anywhere in the room--perfect for gatherings and family movie nights. The EDTV-resolution TV ("enhanced definition") is fully compatible with progressive-scanned 480p video signals such as those from DTV set-top boxes and many DVD players and recorders. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), screen life (no risk of image burn-in), space savings, and light weight/easy positioning.

Westinghouse Digital's PIP functions give you everything from mixed-mode PIP for watching TV and working on a PC concurrently to split-screen viewing and the option to resize and relocate the PIP window. You can watch one TV program and any other of the set's video inputs.

Connections include component-video, composite-video, S-video, RF, and PC (RGB), with two accompanying analog-audio inputs. A stereo analog (left/right) RCA audio output lets you hook the unit up with your home stereo or audio/video receiver, and the set's built-in speakers give you stereo audio (with 2 watts per channel) from inputs or broadcast programming.

What's in the Box
TV, desk stand, stereo RCA to minijack audio adapter, and user's manual.

This review is from: Westinghouse W31501 15-Inch Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD TV (Electronics)

This is an awesome TV and monitor. Very sharp picture and contrast. I love the PIP mode where you can watch TV in one window while browsing in the other. Great price as well.
