Stunning picture quality July 28, 2008
I've had one of these for almost 3 years.This unit has great color, The Hi Def picture is as good as anyone could imagine. The contrast ratio is it's weakest area,it's good-OK, but limited. Technically, the power supply board runs too hot (120 degrees). I have a air filter/purifier mounted behind it, this airflow fixes the problem,that other reviews have stated about short life span.With a good H.D. camcorder the playback picture is absolutely stunning.
 Good for a year.. February 26, 2008

Monitor worked well for the first 9 months I had it then a couple of power issues that were more annoying than anything. At about 15 months the screen went blank and no longer displayed anything, a few calls to Westinghouse and they determined after their "rock solid" 1 year warranty it becomes a giant paper weight. A couple authorized repiar shops won't even look at it as parts are hard to get from Westinghouse. I would never buy from Westinghouse again without an extended warranty!
 I've had it for 6 months and I love it September 24, 2007
I had no intention of buying an HD set until my trusty 32" Philips tube died on me at the beginning of the year. I didn't want to spend a lot, and this set was the best deal I could find.
I've had a 19" Westinghouse LCD monitor for my PC for almost 2 years and I've loved it, so I looked into what they had to offer for HDTVs/monitors. I compared this with big name brand plasmas and I have to say the picture on this set is better in some ways than most I've seen. While dark grays and blacks come through a little grainy (this is with the LCD technology, not this particular set) bright colors come through phenomenally. The first movie I played on it was SW Episode III, just to watch the intro space battle scene. I was blown away. The level of detail, the colors, the resolution, fast motion, everything was great.
I also wanted to see what my DVD options were. I didn't want to get Blue Ray b/c it's so expensive, and even with HD DVD, I'd have to replace my library with new discs which would cost a fortune. So I got a DVD upconverter. I think I spent 70.00 on the player and 20.00 on an HDMI cable (upconverting only works with HDMI.) It takes my boring old standard def DVDs and makes it look close enough to HD without really being able to tell the difference, making this set just that much better.
So for the price, for the array of inputs and for the great picture, this is a good purchase. If you want to spend a little more, there's a 1080p version of this set, though unless you're getting Blue Ray DVD, there's no rush to have 1080p. And if you want to spend a lot of money, go with DLP and steer clear of plasma.
Good job Westinghouse! You now have a loyal customer.
Great TV for the price. September 4, 2007
I bought this tv at best buy about a month ago for $800 it is on clearance. I went into the store planning on purchasing a panasonic 42 plasma and saw this model sitting on the shelf. I saved $400 picking this up. Looks awesome in my living room. excellent quality picture and sound. my friends love coming over to watch sports.

I picked up this monitor about 8 months ago, which has given me plenty of time to play with, and I have to say that for the price, you just can not go wrong with this monitor. Plenty of inputs (to one of the previous reviewers - there are 2 component inputs,) excellent picture quality, and fairly easy to adjust for best picture. 2 suggestions for previous reviewers and anyone who buys this monitor. For good black levels (and better picture in general) in a darkened room, get a light to place behind the monitor and illuminate the wall behind it - this helps your eye perceive the distance between the screen and the wall, making black and color look better and reducing eye strain. This should be done for all large screens in dark rooms, not just this one. Also, a previous reviewer said there was no digital audio on the HDMI - the HDMI cable carries audio (and very well, thank you) and most new home-theater boxes have an HDMI input and output so you can go from cable box to audio box, then from audio box to monitor. All in all, a great monitor.
