I'd suggest reading customer reviews from those individuals that have
had problems. Support and customer service seem fairly nonexistent for
Westinghouse Digital products.

Beware of Dvorak, he's been one of HDTV's noisiest and most offensive
enemies.

I suspect the reliability of these sets is no better or worse than any
other discount brand. However, what distinguishes a good buying
experience from a potentially disastrous one is how well a product is
supported.

I get the impression from the Westinghouse reviews that they don't
stand behind this product at all. Which is really a shame; with such
an iconic brand (I'm sure everyone recalls who George Westinghouse was
- The developer of AC current?) you'd think they would be a little
more discriminating with whom they licensed the trademark to.

I smell a writer who has been given a hefty manufacturer payoff.

I must agree, I got one :-). The main appeal for me is that
it is just a monitor and isn't loaded with money wasting
crap like HD tuners, cablecard support, etc, etc. I'm gonna
get my HDTV signal from the cable box anyway, and actually
I use it as a computer monitor 90% of the time rather than
watching TV.

I've had one in my bedroom for over a year now and it's been great.
It's on about five hours a night. But I had trouble getting good
service on a Sharp DLP here--no telling what would happen should this
one need repair. But so far, so good.

(1) Dvorak has been the least informed and least informing tech columnist for
decades.

(2) But I've been very pleased with my Westinghouse LVM-37w3.

(3) But neither have I lined it up with other displays, calibrated them all
and compared them.

(4) And it is true, support seems "minimal". Luckily I haven't needed support.

(5) The upcoming TX series adds grayscale color adjustment and a firmware
update usb port, which would be welcome improvements.
