View Full Version : Westinghouse TV's
Red_Thunder 02-19-2006, 04:52 PM I'm looking into getting a flat screen tv. I found a nice looking 32" at Best Buy for just under a grand and it would look great on my wall. I want to get rid of the death trap I call an entertainment center(long story). Thing is, it's made by Westinghouse. So, Westinghouse - crap or ok?
Manu has one. Do a search, we've talked about it in particular alot :)
I almost bought one, but they jumped the price up 400 bux! I got the Sharp Aquos 26" instead

I'm going with a 32" Panasonic thanks to Consumer Reports. They don't cost that much more than most other 30 to 32's and have a very good rating(#2 next to Sony).

We were going to buy a Sony Aquos, but instead went with a Phillips, (which we got a wicked deal on).
I am very pleased. :)

I am very pleased. :)I looked at deals, and well priced tv's. I did some research and found when it comes to LCD tv's you really do get what you pay for. Panasonic has a good record for longevity. I don't want to spend this kind of money, then in a year or so have a heavy blank picture frame on the wall.
Mystlet 02-20-2006, 10:45 PM True enough...but we bought it through a dealer who's a friend. If we have any trouble or doubts, we give it back & he puts $500 towards the Aquos we wanted. It's a win-win deal. :D
Sharp makes Aquos.
IMO, Sharp and SOny make the best LCD's.
Westinghouse is by far the best value though
Pani? Never looked at their LCD's

Lol, sorry Kraw, I didn't even realize I was writing 'sony'...:p
Everything else in our home has a 'sony' stamped on it...I guess I'm used to it...

:D
Don't you hate when people say shit like that? I'm like no....I just happen to manage the money I do have fairly well and have built up savings so if I do, on very small occasions, want to buy something nice, I can. :)
I have the Westinghouse, it is an AWESOME TV. We have a 32" Aquos at the office and honestly, save some of the 'additional features' I like the Westy better. I think the picture quality is on par/better, the look is better, and of course it cost 1/3 as much...
dgriff3466 02-22-2006, 03:21 PM I bought the 27" from Best Buy about a month ago. I do not have it hooked to HDTV so the picture is average. I have a DVD player hooked to it with compenent cables and the picture is great. So I guess if you have HD cable service go for it, otherwise don't expect a crisp picture.
