Latest technology from Westinghouse? Not reliable tho!
EDIT-9/18/13 3 years later..after owning 2 of these Westinghouse TV's...I'll add that one out of 2 we bought has a serious issue...the right half of the TV Screen LED's died...so the right half of the picture is now dark...viewable but not lit at the original level...and it can't be adjusted. I'll stick to Samsung from now on! So just a 2 star now...should be less but the other one we got for my dughter at christmas is still working great!
After researching the purchase of 2 LCD TV's for my kids, I was shopping around and discovered this Westinghouse. I actually didn't think it would be a serious TV, as it was less money that comparable LCD TV's sitting on either side of it on the stores shelf. All were on, and set to the same channel. So comparisons were easy! I was prepared to hate the Westinghouse, thinking is was in the same class as some of the "no name" brand sets..junk! After all it was less than $400.00!
But when we were getting ready to pick up the boxes of Phillips TV's and put them in the cart to take home, we started reading the box thatthe Westinghouse was in. Did my eyes deceive me? Did it really say LED on it! No way. We walked over the the high end and expensive LCD TV's. and the 32" ones that said LED were $700.00 plus! Samsungs, Vizio, Panasonics, etc.
Not as reliable as it should have been...I would now avoid this brand!
