What a great HD TV. I bought this TV about six months ago for my bedroom and love it. It has a very sharp picture in high definition and a really good standard picture (not too grainy) for other channels, someting not very common on this large of a TV. I have it hooked up via HDMI to my blu-ray player and the picture is unbelievable. I like to use the TV's theater mode at all times which provides a slightly darker image that warms the backgroung ...
...that I have found on TV's in this price range which makes watching widescreen movies and SD TV less distracting. The base on the TV is a bit small so if you are not going to wall mount it you will need to use the included hardware to secure it properly. Overall highly recommended and fantastic 1080p TV. ...

...same other than the size.) Westinghouse may not be brand you look for when buying a TV, but if you are shopping for features this TV can't be beat. There are four(!) HDMI inputs - this is important because most new DVD players/digital cable boxes/games etc. are using these connections for the best possible picture (and ease of use). There are also two component, one composite/S-Video and one cable inputs. It has a built-in digital tuner and can ...
...quality from the built-in speakers is quite acceptable, and has both digital inputs and digital outputs (along with analog). On-screen menu/setup is fine, with lots of options for picture adjustments.

I just got this TV and am very happy with it so far. It is a big upgrade for me and I would suggest anyone still with an old style tube tv to upgrade. This is a 40 inch and is just the right size.

The picture quality is much improved or my previous television and when I get my HD subscription going I am sure it will be even better. The tv comes ... Read review

I bought this Vizio TV this past February. So far, so good! It has a very nice picture, and the sound is great. It was pretty easy to install as well. I was a little worried buying a "cheaper" TV brand, but it was well worth the money. For the value, this Vizio TV is great! I'm glad I bought this one, istead of one of the higher priced bigger name TV's. I've only had one problem with it. Sometimes after the TV has been on for a while, the sound will ... Read review
