Two Monitors In One - PC & HDTV

by rbinck Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 30 '07
Pros: Low cost - flat panel
Cons: None as LCDs go
I have tried several different monitors on my computer and have never been completely satisfied with any of them until I got this 42” widescreen monitor. Being a full 1920x1080 resolution HDTV ready monitor combined with the various PIP modes, it ...

A stunning picture that depends upon............

by how2buy101 , Apr 28 '07
Pros: ultimate resolution(1080P), gloriously bright, both DVI and HDMI inputs, anti-reflective screen
Cons: doesn't upgrade poor signals, disappointing fill options, remote, speakers, no tuner
Before you consider this monitor (that's a TV with no tuner), ask yourself this first: Is this going to be a stand alone TV or part of a Home Theater system? If it's going to be part of a home theater system, is it going to be the hub or are you ...

WoW! Westinghouse who?!

by bronco75 , Jul 24 '06
Pros: Cream of the crop resolution at 1/2 the price. Great picture and sound.
Cons: No color adjustments in menu's, a couple of power issues.
A little intro first: Well, the old 27" Sony tube was finally ready to be replaced. Was on the Internet looking at reviews one Sat. morning and stumbled upon this little gem. We have a 92" screen, front projector in the basement with the theater ...

Great for the price

by pragmaticlemur , Aug 24 '06
Pros: It's accepts 1080p inputs and it costs less than $2k
Cons: Remote doesn't work all the time, doesn't up convert to 1080p.
For under $2,000 you cannot find a better 1080p LCD. The picture looks beautiful, and I wouldn't return mine for the world, but there are a couple negatives. 1. The remote is very non responsive. You have to hit the button numerous times to get it ...

Westinghouse = monitor @full1080p

by hic_matthew , Jan 16 '07
Pros: Great viewing at a good price
Cons: Only one HDMI input (but then you can get an HDMI to DVI cable)
In my research to find out about High Definition TV so that I could better make an informed decision as to what to buy I discovered/realized something that really surprised me. I was amazed in fact, that I had not realized this before. Well, better ...

by jrichard642 , Sep 08 '06
Pros: Excellent resolution 1920x1080 clear picture HDMI, DVI, Component, and AV plug ins very attractive price
Cons: sound is mediocre at best really cheesy remote customer service is horrible
I've had my television for two months now and still not sure I consider it a "good buy". I got a sweet deal on it sure enough. $1500.00 is still a good price now, but you do get what you pay for. The resolution is the best around still although other ...

BEST OF THE BEST........
by libralady1022 ,Apr 25 '07
Pros: spectacular picture, clarity, color, easy to use. built in speakers have good sound also.
Cons: 1/4" line above screen margin due to lag signals from cable /dish receivers
my son informed me about this television. he explained that it was actually a monitor, and that you needed to have it connected to a receiver in order to use it. i am a customer of dish network, and upgraded my entire package since purchasing this awesome monitor. the clarity and color while viewing a high definition channel is spectacular. at times, i feel like i am sitting in a IMAX theatre, and i do need to get up because i feel dizzy from the amazing view. the price is unbelievable for what you are getting. only quirk, which is actually attributed to high definition cable or satellite companies, would be a small 1/4 inch line along one of the margins at times while first viewing a program. the satellite technician explained that this was a lag due to download of the signals from either cable of dish receivers. if you can afford it.........you should own it.

LOVE THIS TV
by rstagrl ,Mar 13 '07
Pros: Great price, fast shipping, free shipping, no tax, very good sound quality, stylish looking TV.
Cons: funky little remote with no back-lighting, small onscreen menu.
I found this tv while browsing through epinions and purchased it online through Buydig.com for $1268.00 with free shipping and no tax. It was shipped via Fedex and came in 6 days without incident.

Love the set. TV was a breeze to setup, doesn't come with a tuner, but I didn't need one since I have a cable box. The sound quality is very good, picture is also quite good (I have a plasma in my living room and of course the plasma is better, but this is an LCD and for what it is the picture is just fine.)

I don't like the remote control, kinda funky looking with no back lighting (knew that when I ordered it) and the onscreen menu is very small. I have a very long room 23' and from the bed it is hard to read the menu. BUT, that being said those are my only two complaints.

Outstanding Monitor
by jagee ,Sep 11 '06
Pros: Excellent picture Flexible inputs Thin
Cons: No tuner
I purchased the floor model of this Westinghouse LVM-42w2 monitor from a local retailer and have been extremely happy with it. The full 1080p resolution combined with a really good image processor makes it a pleasure to watch. One thing that a lot of people miss when looking at this monitor is the fact that it has no tuner in it whatsoever. Most people have cable tv or a satellite receiver, so it's no big deal, but don't expect this thing to pick up any channels by itself. By the same token, it's quite a bit less expensive, and I'd rather have a high quality monitor and let cable or satellite provide me the tuner anyway. It also has 2 DVI (most often associated with computers) inputs as well as non-HD s-video and composite inputs to round out the HDMI and component video inputs. It also has stereo speakers with a subwoofer, but I have never even hooked these up simply because I have the TV as part of a home theater system, so I can't comment on their sound. All in all, it's a great value!

Nice picture but warranty service is horrible
by kfc3 ,May 17 '07
Pros: 1080i, good picture
Cons: When it breaks, and it will, you're out of luck
This monitor was great for 11 months but when it failed I was forced to ship it across the country at no small expense and have now waited almost 6 weeks to get a status on the repair. I can only conclude that the failure rate is so bad that they can't fix them fast enough.
