Westinghouse LTV32W3 32-Inch LCD HDTV
Piece of Junk Stopped Working In Less Than 2 Years
I bought the LTV-32w6, which I assume is the newer version of the LTV-32w3. I do love the hi-def picture quality. Analog programs, however, vary greatly - some are not bad, while others carry unpleasant visual artifacts. Would be great if high-def was already the norm, but until then, analog quality suffers. I also like the easy-access input ports with plenty of options for connecting up to five other components such DVD players, cable boxes, even your home computer (1 RF, 1 VGA, 2 RGB, 1 HDMI). VGA (computer monitor) input is great -- my computer screen has never looked so cool (or so big). Overall, I'm very pleased with this and glad I got it.<br /><br />Two pet peeves:<br />(1) I like to connect my audio through my home stereo amplifier so it sounds much better than the built-in 10 watt speakers. But the unit defaults back to the built-in speakers every time I turn it on. The manufacturer should really change this. I'd like the option of leaving external speakers as the default choice.<br />(2) Not that I use PIP (picture-in-picture) much, but it only works when the HDMI port is connected. So I had buy a separate $30 HDMI cable to plug into my cable box just to use the PIP feature with the other components, such as VGA.
