Mine is a 32",  but none the less it is a very good tv.  It stays on most of the time and the cable is turned off and I have had no problems for over a year so far.  It has all the plugs that I need.  Works great for video games.  So easy my 9 year old can hook up his game no problem.   Great... review »

My husband bought this Westinghouse 42" LCD television before we were married and I think he was just looking for a good deal.  We have generally had really good experiences with Best Buy, but I think they should re-evaluate stocking any Westinghouse products.  A year to the day after buying this...

We caved in and got a flat screen, HDTV, and I can't say as I'm glad we did. While this model is one of the more reasonably priced ones out there,it's still expensive. The picture is fine, but to be honest, I think the whole HD thing is mostlyhype. It looks great if you watch it mere seconds after watching good, old regular tv. Otherwise, you won't really notice the difference in picture quality, unless you're watching a nature show. I like nature shows, but that's not all I watch.

This tv was difficult to set-up, because itcomes with almost no paperwork/instructions. The interface is less than...

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 minutes.  There are always...

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 viewing!

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 ...!!!

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 change

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.

We did our homework before buying this television and looked around for months! We have both the 32 and the 47 inch televisions. We love them. The picture quality ANd sound quality are amazing. We are truly happy with them.

I bought this television for my daughter's family at Christmas (on sale) and it was a great bargain.  The picture is very good and they are ready for the switch to HD.

Had my Westinghouse - TX-42F430S for 6 months...it has a great picture for the money, in the factory settings the blacks could be better, but fiddling with the picture settings has done wonders for that.. Color is excellent, sharpness is good except for analog channels from my cable provider, yet the same channels in 480P digital looked ok so it may be the signal..digital stations all look good..and 1080I looks great in sporting events and nature programs..DVD upconverts look great and best at 720P and Blue Ray looks great in 1080P..
