Well, I was going to take it back because of the coupon, but since the tv has no dead pixels and the backlight is pretty even across the screen I decided to keep it for now. I used a dvi to hdmi cable, and couldnt get full resolution either. Turns out you can only use true HD resolutions with hdmi. If you use a VGA cable instead you should be able to get 1360x768, but I havent tried it yet. SD picture is pretty bad, but no worse than the last one. The thing I'm most happy about is the qam works fairly well. I get most of the locals, and the odd digital cable channel. The HD channels are noticably better than my Olevia, either via cable or OTA. The stand is also failry tall, so I was able to move the center channel speaker off the floor and on the table. The only downside is there is only a digital coax out for audio, and no toshlink. All in all I'm pretty happy with it. And if something better comes along this was priced low enough that it wont bother me too much.

Where is the toshlink port on your set? The pics on the website show coax as well. Also, do you have an ATI card? I have a 7600GS in my pvr and with the latest drivers when you try to add a non standard HD resolution on hdmi it wont let you right away.

Toslink on the upper left(looking at from rear), nice red light ah heck. I had to play with the setting to get the resolution to stick. I believe I had to add the resolution with the TV disabled in properties, then selected the monitor in the nvidia advanced settings tab. After that I added the resolution and enabled the monitor. I'll see if I can reproduce it.
The best buy offer is right, but its for westinghouse's other 32" screen the W3213 HD. I've seen better reviews on this monitor than the W3213 HD.
