Westinghouse LTV-32W1 32 Inch Widescreen LCD TV LTV-32W1 description
Loaded with picture-enhancing technologies and a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) for a direct-digital connection with a DTV receiver, Westinghouse Digital's LTV-32W1 32-inch widescreen LCD television will amaze you with its ability to render sharp, vivid images from standard- and high-definition sources alike. The set's widescreen, 16:9 aspect ratio is specially designed to match the dimensions of your favorite DVD movies and HDTV broadcasts, and you can use it as a computer monitor, too.

The 1,366 x 768-pixel LTV-32W1 features an ultra-thin, 8.5-inch profile with a 170-degree viewing angle that makes it possible to view a clear picture from almost anywhere in the room--perfect for gatherings and family movie nights. The TV is compatible with everything from standard 480i to 480p, 720p, and full 1080i HD pictures (built-in image scaling adjusts 1080i signals to match the set's 768 horizontal lines). Compatible PC inputs range from 640 x 480 to 800 x 600, 1,024 x 768, 1,280 x 720, and full 1,366 x 768.

Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p or 720p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), screen life (no risk of image burn-in), space savings, and light weight/easy positioning.

The set boasts not just TrueLife video enhancement, but award-winning Faroudja DCDi (Directional Correlation Deinterlacing), as well, a video processing technology designed to eliminate jagged edges and provide a clearer picture. The LTV-32W1's exceptional 8 millisecond response time (the time it takes the screen's pixels to update themselves with fresh data) delivers crisp images for fast-action moving video and video games. The set also displays the broadest possible range of colors and--with its 550 cd/m2 brightness--produces vibrant images in almost any lighting condition.

Westinghouse Digital's single-tuner PIP (picture-in-picture) feature lets you watch any source as your main image and some combination of sources as a secondary image atop each main screen. PIP functions include positioning, sizing, image swap, and audio swap.

Connections include 2 component-video inputs (both SD), 2 composite-video, 1 S-video, 1 RF, and 1 PC (RGB). A headphone jack fosters private listening. The set gives you stereo audio (with 9 watts per channel) from inputs or broadcast programming.

The set is "frame ready" so you can attach a Westinghouse Décor frame to match the furnishings and style of any room in the house.

What's in the Box
TV, remote control, remote batteries, an AC power cord, a quick-connect guide, a user's manual, a component-video cable, and a stereo analog audio cable.

♥♥♥♥ Hard to beat for the price
Honestly, you cannot beat it for the price. It has a great picture through both my Comcast digital cable box and my ReplayTV (DVR). DVDs look awesome and my Xbox (original) does too. I read the reviews before purchasing and was hesitant based on the reports of poor service support, but for the price I figured why not give it a shot. I've had the set for a month now and other than the few gotchas listed below, I really enjoy it.

The 'gotchas':
1. It's HD-Ready versus having a built-in HD tuner.
2. My Comcast universal remote would not work with it. Westinghouse seems to have poor support for universal remotes.
3. The remote sensor on the tv seems to be very weak. The remote that came with it and my universal remote take several attempts to power it on and off. Although I like the one reviewer's comment about feeling like Harry Potter waving his wand. :)

These are minor irritations given the price and picture quality. For $430, I'm very happy with the purchase.
