So far so good iv'e had this unit about one month and I'm delighted so far.
Strengths: Great picture(Awesome), compared to plasma tv's, not much of a difference. Sound quality is great as well, with built in 8' speakers and integrated surround sound with a subwoofer connection as well.

Weak Points: The remote control is a lil' more complicated than most but if you have a universal remote you'll be okay. It is a bit on the heavy side(about 50lbs) so wallmounting is questionable but if you have the correct brackets you should be fine.

All in All a great value, a lil' cheaper that others in it's catagory. For those who download movies off of the net, it's Ideal for PC use as well as Sat and Cable.

This is a fantastic unit. We decided to enter the high-tech world and go for this Westinghouse LCD wide screen TV. Ultra sharp and ultra bright picture and SO light weight! Being able to enjoy DVD movies the way they were meant to be seen is fantastic. Also being able to use with our computer is such a great feature.
Hope Westinghouse brings out a DVD Player soon. Will buy one as soon as they do! No disappointments. we are very happy!

The only bad review for this is by someone who doesn't understand Wide screen TV.

A 4:3 TV is a 3-4-5 Right Triangle. Divide the Diagonal measurement By 5 then multiply that number by 3 to get the picture hieght, or by 4 to get the width.

A 16:9 TV is a 16-9-18.36 Right Trangle. Divide the Diagonal measurement By 18.36 then multiply that number by 9 to get the picture hieght, or by 16 to get the width.

Rule of Thumb:
17" Widescreen = 15" 4:3 Picture Height
23" Widescreen = 19" 4:3 Picture Height
27" Widescreen = 22" 4:3 Picture Height
30" Widescreen = 24" 4:3 Picture Height
33" Widescreen = 27" 4:3 Picture Height
44" Widescreen = 36" 4:3 Picture Height

I shopped for a new TV about a year and got lucky to find this product drop in price to $1,299 last month just as my old 27" Trinitron went dark. What a great value! My Son said it was just like watching TV at BestBuy. Our cable box is also an HDTV tuner so we get over 30 HD channels and you can't get any better picture than this. We're hooked up to a home theater speaker system and going through a lot more popcorn than ever before. I went nuts and bought the new Westinghouse microwave with the barcode scanner and every kernel is popped to perfection now.
I've still got to finish setting up the cable box remote to run everything.

I've had this LCD HDTV for about 2 months and have to say that it's not bad for the price. The good points are the TV display is exceptional. Being an LCD, it has a small foot print. You can't beat this LCD TV for the price, it's a great value. The bad points are it doesn't have a universal remote and there is not a universal code for the TV. If you want to use another remote, you have to use a learning remote. It doesn't have a DVI or HDMI ports. This won't matter though if you use component ports. Overall, a great buy on an LCD HDTV.

Never buy a product from Westinghouse Digital. I purchased a laptop from them and it arrived with major hardware problems. Upon discovering the problem with my computer, I attempted to obtain an RMA number and my call was NEVER returned. Without this number you cannot get anything serviced. After I called 3 times over the period of two weeks, someone finally told me the number and the address. They received my package on January 9, and I have not heard a single thing since then (February 13). Furthermore, everytime I have called to inquire, I have been on hold for an unacceptably long period, and when my call was finally answered, the response was that they knew nothing and would get back to me, which never happened. I have been without my computer for a month and a half now, with no end in sight. It is a gamble to purchase any product from this company, since any factory defect may lead you to lose complete track of your property and spend countless hours on hold and listening to excuses.
