Best value for the money out there for 1080p Nov 30, 2008
Got this myself about a year and a half ago at the brick'n'mortar yellow tag store. And have to say the value for this has been excellent. Especially after $1,050 I paid. Left some room for my killer 360 Pro w/ HDMI. Absolutely perfect picture, and all the connections are just added bonus.
On odd occasion the set may give a fit, but a simple power down and reboot of the system's self test always fixes the bug. Haven't brought myself to flash through it's USB port....don't want to find myself with a 70lb brick. And no big deal hitting a simple switch on the surge protector.
Paired with my 22" PC monitor from Westinghouse.....nothing but great value's for the money.
Now if they would only come out with a 1080p 32" for my bedroom...
 Excellent picture. Aug 08, 2008
I bought this TV a week ago. I like the TV but it is a little buggy. One reviewer said that it didn't remember things from the remote well. I thought that was a jest but I've had the same experience. You enter stuff on the remote but it's different when you go back sometimes. Weird. It has easy to use menus however and it will eventually remember the settings correctly if you put them in a time or two. Maybe I did something wrong, I'm not really sure. It could be that you have to do it a certain way for it to remember the setting.
My biggest two problems so far with the TV are the service port will not load updated firmware and the default picture quality. Westinghouse is working on the issue with the service port. They've called me several times now. Since I don't have a big problem with anything hardware related I'm not all that concerned about that one.
The second annoyance is the default picture setting SUCK. It's a monitor though in essence with a tuner and as such it can be adjusted to a perfect picture unless something is really wrong. I own a spider used to calibrate monitors but so far I have not used it. I just used someone elses settings from a forum and the picture is VERY nice after making the changes. It seems stupid to me Westinghouse would ship it with uncalibrated settings as the "default".
The picture is beautiful though. It makes non HD DVD's look poor quality after watching HD for a while. It reminds me of going back to VHS at times. It really shines on good HD signals.

It is a very good TV Jul 22, 2008
I am surprised by the reviews of others as their reviews aren't about this particular TV, but about a Digital Picture frame and one even left negative reviews about other TVs he didnt even own. I have this TV and I think it is a very well made TV. Don't pay more than you have to for a TV. All these manufacturers buy their LCDs from the same place. So all you are doing is paying for the marketing. I work in the Computer hardware industry and most, if not all companies buy OEM to cut costs. Don't think because you bought a Samsung or Sony that it is any better than the others.

 Westinghouse large screen TV Jun 29, 2008
Within the first week of receiving the product, the left side of the screen created a black shadow. Upon calling customer support, their response was to reset the default settings. Doing so did not fix the problem. If I turn the TV set off for a few minutes and then turn it on again, the picture will display as expected. The screen continues to create a black shadow at unsuspecting intervals. I have not received satisfactory support from customer service. I feel the TV should be replaced with a new one.

Westinghouse product breaks - Company Does not stand behind its product Jun 05, 2008
I purchased a Westinghouse TV and within 4 months the TV was broken. At that point I called customer support and they were NOT willing to stand behind thier product. I asked if they found it reasonable for a TV go out in 4 months, all they said was that they could not help me.
