Two Monitors In One - PC & HDTV

I have tried several different monitors on my computer and have never been completely satisfied with any of them until I got this 42” widescreen monitor. Being a full 1920x1080 resolution HDTV ready monitor combined with the various PIP modes, it ...

Low cost - flat panel

None as LCDs go

A stunning picture that depends upon............

Before you consider this monitor (that's a TV with no tuner), ask yourself this first: Is this going to be a stand alone TV or part of a Home Theater system? If it's going to be part of a home theater system, is it going to be the hub or are you ...

ultimate resolution(1080P), gloriously bright, both DVI and HDMI inputs, anti-reflective screen

doesn't upgrade poor signals, disappointing fill options, remote, speakers, no tuner

Computer Monitor and TV

Westinghouse = monitor @full1080p

In my research to find out about High Definition TV so that I could better make an informed decision as to what to buy I discovered/realized something that really surprised me. I was amazed in fact, that I had not realized this before. Well, better ...

Great viewing at a good price

Only one HDMI input (but then you can get an HDMI to DVI cable)

Not bad, but it certainly could've been better.

I've had my television for two months now and still not sure I consider it a "good buy". I got a sweet deal on it sure enough. $1500.00 is still a good price now, but you do get what you pay for. The resolution is the best around still although other ...

Great for the price

For under $2,000 you cannot find a better 1080p LCD. The picture looks beautiful, and I wouldn't return mine for the world, but there are a couple negatives. 1. The remote is very non responsive. You have to hit the button numerous times to get it ...

It's accepts 1080p inputs and it costs less than $2k

Remote doesn't work all the time, doesn't up convert to 1080p.

WoW! Westinghouse who?!

A little intro first: Well, the old 27" Sony tube was finally ready to be replaced. Was on the Internet looking at reviews one Sat. morning and stumbled upon this little gem. We have a 92" screen, front projector in the basement with the theater ...

Cream of the crop resolution at 1/2 the price. Great picture and sound.

No color adjustments in menu's, a couple of power issues.
