Westinghouse LTV32W3 32-Inch LCD HDTV Review
I have owned two of these units since fall 07 and so far they have been great. The picture quality especially in HD is excellent. I saved a lot compared to big-name units of the size and it was worth it (less so today since prices seem to have converged). I am only writing because the recent posts seem to be very negative but that was not my experience.
I do not doubt the posts here and would recommend that one buy an extended warranty from a third party with this set, just in case. Indeed, it may be better to buy one refurbished so that the Westinghouse warranty period is short lived (90 days) and another warranty company kicks in earlier. I bought mine online from eCost refurbished (and saw nothing wrong with them as arrived) but added the warranty for two years. I did this again last month with a slightly newer Westinghouse model, as a gift for a relative, and added the SquareTrade warranty for not much extra. Buying it that way is very cheap and relatively safe. Assuming they survive the first 90 days, you will never have to deal with Westinghouse customer service which people here say is bad. But the product itself seems good for the price. If this is the only way one can afford breaking into LCD and HD TVs, at a really cheap cost via refurbished, then go for it. One final caveat for any brand: do not accept delivery until you have seen it work. Make the shipper see you plug it in before signing. At least with eCost, the box itself says that, so it was easy to talk the UPS guy into waiting a minute. I had a small UHF antenna (all you need is a cheap one, even for HD) -- or have cable good to go -- just to check.
