Westinghouse - TX-42F430S 42 in. LCD Television Reviews

I purchased this TV on Black Friday 2006 at a very good price...under $900 dollars.  I had no problems understanding the directions or hooking it up.  You need an HD box which the cable company provides along with an HD cord to receive the optimal picture quality.  I love watching sports, especially, on HD because the clarity is just phenomenal.  I also use a DVR as well as the pause, rewind, fast forward features that come with my digital HD cable services and have had absolutely no issues with pictures burning on a screen, even after pausing a picture for over 30… read full review »

When I first bought this television I thought it was great. However, if you pause your Tivo the image  will burn on to the screen within a very short time. At about close to the one year mark there were times that the television would not turn on. At a year and a half we could not get the television to turn on anymore. We called customer support and basically because there was no extended warranty our only hope was to call a service tech at 55.00 an hour and that wasn't a guarantee it could get fixed. We bought a new t.v., not a Westinghouse. This is good because it is cheap. If you… read full review »

We had a very bad time with this tv.  It was a great price but only lasted for six months and completely died.  A service rep. came out and replaced some parts and it lasted for another 6 months and died again.  We returned it to the store and got a replacement of the same thing.  Once again, it only lasted for 6 months.  We returned it to the store and got a new brand.  This is really a disposable tv.  Might be good for a vacation home that you don't use very much, but not for everyday… read full review »

With 1080p, you can either use it as a monitor or TV. Actually, I'm writing this review with it as monitor. With the same resolution, the 42" gives me the best value as TV and monitor. Smaller one is not enough for TV, biger one get you tired as a monitor. I had it for more than a year now. Don't use its own speakers much, but I think it's OK for a TV. The PIP function is great when I want to work and follow a football match at the same time… read full review »

This is a good television. I would reccomend it if you have the money to spend. Get the warranty. Movies and television shows look great on the screen . You will be ready for the future and you can fit the tv anywhere you want it to go. it's slim ane thin whicj=h is a big plus. Changes channels kind of slowly like you push the button the wait a few seconds for it to actually… read full review »

This is a decent TV for the price, but if you can afford to pay little more I would go with one of the better known brands.  Westinghouse has not released any firmware updates to support all of the current sets.  There are features listed in the menus that can't be enabled.… read full review »

For the price I suppose I can't complain to much. I guess this is a prime example of you get what you pay for. The picture quality really lacks compared to more expensive models, but for the price it was… read full review »
