Westinghouse LTV-32W1 32 Inch Widescreen LCD TV LTV-32W1
Excellent TV for the price
Like the review above, I also first saw the Westinghouse 32\\" at Best Buy and also looked at several TVs in the range.  I decided I didn't want a Plasma because of burn-in from news show text scrolls or video games.  On the shelf in the store, the Westinghouse looked just as sharp as all the other TVs, but just small -- next to the 42 & 50\\" monsters next to it.  In my living room, the TV looks huge, in place of the 20 CRT it replaced.  I can't imagine having a 42\\" in that spot.  The best part is that this TV is over $1000 less than similar LCD TVs. <br /> <br />The Westinghouse 32\\" LCD works great!  The color is great, the menus are easy to use, but you could just plug it in and defaults are fine.  The sound is good, too, but since the speakers are at the bottom, if you're sitting close, you don't get the left-right sound separation that you might if the speakers were on the sides, instead. <br /> <br />A couple quirks about this set.  First, the manual talks about a blue LED power indicator.  There's no LED. (I called Westinghouse about this and they discontinued the LED because it bothered people--being so bright and blue) This sucks because when you turn on the TV, it takes 5-10 seconds to come on, and without that LED, you can't tell if the TV actually turned on.  Add to that, the remote is a little weak.  No problem if you're directly in front and you like to press the buttons hard, but I often sit to the left a bit and often have to try a little harder to change the channels. (maybe I just need new batteries) Also, the remote conflicts with the super-cheap \\"KLM\\" DVD player I have.  e.g. if I turn down the volume, it'll stop playing the DVD.  Certain buttons on my DVD remote will mess up the TV, too.  This probably won't be a problem if you spent more than $30 on your DVD player, though.  My other beefs with the remote is that the \\"last channel\\" button isn't as intuitive and there's no SLEEP button on the remote.  Have to use the menu for that. (but I can use abutton on my DVD remote for it.) <br /> <br />The above review said that there is no PIP.  There is.  But, it's strange in that you can't PIP 2 TV channels.  You can PIP the TV and a different video source. e.g. TV(cable) & DVI or AV (composite) and YPbPr (HDTV)  But there is PIP and you can even select side by side.   <br /> <br />Lastly, my cable is analog and I'm still waiting for HDTV cable, next month, but I can say that most analog channels look fine on this TV and I expect the future HDTV channels to look lovely, as they did in the store.  Changing the aspect ratio is easy with the button on the remote. <br /> <br />Bottom line: This is just a great TV to watch and being $1,000-1,500 less than other LCDs is a bonus.
