Westinghouse LCDs aren't a bad product. I've had my 32" in my living room for 2 years now. It gets a lot of use from my Xbox360, HTPC, and comcast.

So far so good and no complaints from me on their quality.

I would have to disagree on the TX line, Its utter garbage, If you have $1100 to spend on a TV get a brand name for $200 to $300 more, I am using my TX 47" right now but it now has a 2 inch thick green line down the side of the screen and I get nothing but green garbage in dark scenes. Mine is only 1 1/2 years old, I'm not the only one with issues with the TX line. Head over to www.avsforum.com for more details on this line of TV's. Don't waste your money. And on a side note no matter what brand TV you get, Get an extended warranty on these things.

You get a two year extended warranty automatically with costco so I would say its a great deal.

A buddy of mine has their 47" LCD..not sure the model but it looks very nice.

2 years is not enough for this TV, 4 years minimum if your going to risk it which I wouldn't suggest. Go to the forum I suggested for the details.

Eh, I'd lean towards that $1150 plasma BB is selling.

Well, there is this: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Bra...ch-1080p/dp/B0018YNZ68 for $1,460.11
Is it worth $360.11 more?

 

[Phew]

If I need a steam turbine, I'll get a Westinghouse. For TVs, I'll stick to Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, LG, etc.

I own a 32" Westinghouse LCD TV, and quality isn't a word I'd use to describe it. Sure, the picture is fine, but everything from the tuner to the menus are fraught with flaws.

Without a doubt yes! I would still get an extended warranty on it though.
