I saw this monitor at a dealership waiting room. The cable signal wasn't even digital. What a waste... Does this TV upconvert lesser digital signals?

This display shows everything at 1080p, so yes, it was being upscaled. Can't polish a turd, though.

Umm since when does everything get converted to 1080p on this monitor? Youre incorrect. So if i play a DVD from my player, its going to go straight to 1080p? Again, youre INCORRECT. I have the 47" model as well as the 42" Westinghouse and neither one upconverts. Get your facts straight before posting misinformation.
You need an upconverting DVD player to get 1080p...Xbox 360 with firmware update upconverts to 1080p... Blue ray is 1080p
Regular cable/sat/sd programming is NOT upconverted.

Semantics. Scaling converts from resolution A to resolution B. If resolution B is greater than A, then the scaling is "converting up" -- or upconverting -- the resolution. The 37W3 is a 1080P panel, thus everything must be upconverted (or "scaled", if you prefer that term) to 1080P. Naturally, converting 480i to 1080p will produce inferior results to scaling 1080i (or even 480p) to 1080p.
So yes, if you view a DVD on the 37W3 it is being displayed at 1080p after being upconverted/scaled by the monitor's processing circuits.
Now, the 37W3's processing may be inferior to that of a standalone scaling/upconverting DVD player -- such as the Oppo 971 or 970 -- but that does not mean that the 37W3 is not upconverting non-1080P signals.

Yeah it comes off. I couldnt find it in the manual either. Here are the basic steps. In hindsight I could have done it in much fewer steps and less of a pain.
1. There are 4 screws on the backside. 2 on each side of the center area with all of the connections, they are vertical. They line up with the edges of the smoky plastic section in the front. Basically two rods come up from the stand and that is where they screw in. Take those 4 screws out and you are money.
When I did I basically ended up taking the whole stand apart trying to figure it out. Good luck to you.

I just got it today It is absolutely gorgeous! It's soooo much bigger then I thought it was going to be. I can't wait to get this thing on to my main computer at school and start playing some games and watching some quality HDTV. I'll post pictures and such when I get is all set up.
Oh and I'm running this off my laptop right now. No dead pixels or anything and DVI is working very well.
