Way too many problems - spend the extra money for a good display.......2007-12-22
I think it would be worth you while to go to AVS Forums and check out the many posts about this TV before you buy this set.
Here is why I have grown to hate this set:
1. While this set has 5 HDMI ports they are all on the same hub. So, you cannot your program to go to a specific HDMI port. If you want to use a Logitech Harmony or similar programmable remote this is a deal killer. I ended up buying an HDMI switcher, which resulted me in spending all of the money I spent.
2. When switching between SD and HD programming this set takes 5 full seconds to display the picture. Your wife will hate that.
3. The set has bad speakers that are poorly placed (bottom of the TV pointing directly down). So, the sound is bad.
4. The spine in the back of the TV (which extends all the way to the bottom of the unit) keeps it from sitting tight against the wall.
In general happy but there is issue with DVD playback........2007-12-07
Overall I am happy with the price and quality of the TV. I would like to give it a 5 stars but currently I am having problem with DVD playback.
I have the TV for more than 2 weeks now and not until recently I tried to watch DVDs with it. The DVD player is few years old but works perfectly with my previous TV. I connected it using component cables to the TV. The problem is the screen kept flashing and said detect video source. Seems like it lost the DVD video source for a second and then got it again. At the beginning I thought it is the DVD (the one my kids watched) so I tried other DVDs and pretty much all of them have the same problem. I wonder anyone has similar problem with DVD player connected using component cables?
I tried to look on the Westinghouse web site but cannot find the tech support phone # to call or be able to submit online question.
Best 42" LCD 1080p for the money.......2007-11-19
So, I saw this TV at Best Buy recently for $989. How could I not ditch my 32" 720p and upgrade? My 32" ViewSonic 720p LCD was great and lasted for two years, but its lack of more than one HDMI and horrible menu functionality led me to this Westinghouse 42" HDTV.
The ViewSonic I had had one input of each type, and one button to scroll through each. This wasn't that bad, but the 10 second start up delay was. Universal remotes were near impossible to program (Harmony 520 was mine) due to delay's between startup and even input switching. The one HDMI port was a problem too. These were the main problems I was looking to address.
Firstly, it was $1200 even after tax and a 4 year warranty. Had to get the warranty, as Westinghouse has been known to have power related issues, banding, etc. So, for the price, it cannot be beat. Even Best Buy's "cheap priced" brand Insignia was one hundred bucks more for the same thing. I observed the picture clarity and color next to similar sized Sony/Samsung/etc. that looked like the color had been optimized, where as the Westinghouse had not. I have seen this scheme before, and knew that HDTV's never look the same in store, with a connection split a million ways, as it would at home. In store, the color looked washed out, but clear, compared to the others next to it. My friend has a 46" Westinghouse 720p LCD and was wonderful for the $1600 he paid a year ago, so I knew the brand had promise.
Secondly, no power issues: yet. Not saying it may not, but it hasn't. The color at home is perfect with the only thing to mention is that black's are not solid black. But! They do look well enough to justify the price difference. I have it set to 100% brightness in my room, where light shines thoroughly with no reflection. I have yet to tweak the colors, but I prefer not to and to do so with my systems.
Thirdly, the 4 HDMI ports is the best idea for a HDTV ever. Having 1 or 2 is a joke, more is always better than less. So, 1 for PS3, 1 for XBOX360, 1 for HD-upconvert DVD player and 1 open (DVR if I had one). The only downside is that there is only 1 remote button for HDMI, but autosource takes care of that....
Fourthly, the autosource detection is great. You turn something on connected to it, and it automatically switches. The only thing I've noticed is that if I use VGA, it won't allow switching to the proper HDMI source, but I was only testing the VGA from my computer, I don't use it anymore.
Fifthly, the LCD style is different than conventional. The pixels are not a single pixel, it is a tri-color pixel, where the blue, green and red are separated. My ViewSonic was a single style, but there is hardly a difference. This is just in case anyone wanted to know.
Sixthly, to contrast my ViewSonic's delays, there are NONE with this HDTV. The only delay is user-set, the start up. To save $25 a year, you can have the HDTV delay start up to conserve energy, but if you do not, the HDTV is pre-prepped to start and starts within a second. Channels are near instant, and inputs are slightly delayed, as expected with any TV.
Seventhly, I have a PS3, XBOX360 and upconverting HDMI DVD player connected through HDMI. All connect properly and look perfect on the TV. PS3 games, XBOX360 games, Blu-Ray through PS3 and HD-DVD through the XBOX360 HD-DVD Drive all look just like they should and most likely would on a more expensive HDTV. It is now easier to play multi-player games with a better resolution and split screen. Can't complain about anything.
Finally, there are other things to comment on, but these are the main concerns I was considering with this HDTV. I have yet to have any of the problems common with the brand, but the warranty will handle any that may occur. Hopefully this may answer or dismay any doubts you may have, but I would prefer to buy it in store, rather than dealing with any shipping costs, may they occur.
I may add more to the review later, but as for now this is it.
Can't complain!!!!.......2007-11-14
Just brought this t.v. at Bestbuy for a little under a thousand dollars. The picture is great. Since this is my first HDTV, I don't have anything to compare it to. I have a HD DVR from the cable company so the picture is as good as it can be. I hooked up both the cable box and my ps3 via HDMI.
Con - The remote sucks. But then again I just used the cable remote so that solves that problem. Next is that the t.v. does read any new input devices well. I can be watching cable and turn on my ps3 and the t.v. automatically turns to the HDMI signal to view my ps3. The only problem is once you turn off the ps3, you have to remotely cycle through the other 3 hdmi inputs to get back to the cable box. But then again I did the same with my standard tube t.v.
So far I had the t.v. for three days and haven't had a problem compared to the other reviews for other 42inch models from Westinghouse. I will try to update you monthly.
Tremendous value for a future-proof TV.......2007-11-12
I purchased this set at a big box brick and mortar store for around $1,100. This allowed me to compare against other sets on a side-by-side basis, and the analysis I kept coming back to was this: was there any set on the wall that was markedly better than this picture? Figure the next 1080p set is priced at around $1,500 - $1,600, a 35% - 40% premium over this Westinghouse. I simply could not justify the price premium for name plate alone.
That said, I have a few quibbles. I find the sound output "auto-recognize" feature to be a little finnicky: if there's no video, the set won't output any sound. That said, the 4 HDMI inputs and multiple other imput options are a godsend; given my relatively layperson audio needs, I actually use the set as sort of an audio hub, outputting all sound via an optical cable to my home theater receiver (which is severely limited in its inputs).
All in all, I feel I've gotten tremendous value for the money. The picture is bright and wonderfully sharp, and when stations begin to broadcast in true 1080p (as opposed to 1080i at best), the set will continue to pay dividends.

Product Description
New high definition audio formats such as Super Audio CD and DVD-Audio demand a new level of performance from today's loudspeakers. LSi Series Bookshelf Loudspeakers are the ultimate expression of the Polk Audio's mission to provide the highest quality audio products at a reasonable price. The LSi7 is a bookshelf speaker that delivers superior linearity, definition and imaging, as well as bass response that's rich, deep and satisfying. Like the whole LSi Series, it is highly accurate and intensely musical. Its Cascade Tapered Driver arrays and Ring Radiator Tweeter present a large soundstage without sacrificing pinpoint localization. Listen to the LSi Loudspeakers with SACD and DVD-Audio sources to reveal higher accuracy and resolution, with more dynamic response and superb focus. The LSi Series delivers three-dimensional imaging and remarkable reproduction of even the finest details. The LSi Series from Polk Audio is the new standard in affordable loudspeakers for serious listening.
Amazon.com Product Description
The 150-watt LSi7 high-definition bookshelf loudspeakers add superior musical accuracy and a serious theatrical impact to any home theater system. Inside the sculpted, real wood cabinet is a single, 5.25-inch Dynamic Balance drivers with a resonance-suppressing aerated polypropylene cone for wide response and low distortion. Polk's Dynamic Balance technology produces flat frequency response, sharp detail, and an ability to play program material with wide dynamic range at life-like volume levels without a hint of strain. The sound is always clean, clear and effortless. Cast aluminum driver baskets resist flexing for tight bass and coloration-free midrange.
The 1-inch ring radiator tweeters in the LSi7 speakers provide extended frequency response, low distortion, excellent dynamics, and superior detail and transparency. The tweeter's ultra-light woven diaphragm is supported at two pivot points, with the voice coil attached between the two points. With very little unsupported material, there's less opportunity for performance-robbing resonance to develop. A mylar bypass capacitor in the high-pass crossover extends and flattens high frequency response so you hear musical details found in high definition formats such as SACD and DVD-Audio.
Rear-firing patented Power Port vents built into the back plates provide distortion-free bass and double as convenient wall-mounting brackets. This venting extends and strengthens the speaker's lower-midrange performance for a seamless blend with a subwoofer. The dual, front-mounted Acoustic Resonance Control (ARC) port system reduces unwanted internal enclosure resonance for clear midrange reproduction, eliminating unnatural thickness to voices. Also, the LSi7 speakers are timbre-matched with the LSi Series, for a seamless, realistic surround sound experience.
Dual (bi-ampable), gold-plated five-way binding post inputs provide secure wire connections and versatile wiring options.
What's in the Box
Two, LSi7 speakers (cherry), manual, and five year parts and labor warranty
