    Pros: slim, stylish, clear picture (720p), lightweight, easy set up, optical output (digital audio), low price ($350).

    Cons: stand does not swivel, tv seems to be angled downward slightly, unimpressive speakers, only 2 hdmi inputs.

    Other thoughts: no component inputs, but it does come with a vga adapter kit so you can hook up a single device using component connections. Also might want to make sure your hdmi cables are 1/2″ thick or less (most I have seen are), my hdmi cables barely fit into the slots because of their thickness (this is understandable, as the tv itself is only 1.5″). The TV does slant downwards slightly. Not a terribly big deal, but modestly annoying since the stand cannot be adjusted. speakers are on the bottom/back of the tv, so sound is below average. Overall, you will have a tough time finding a better 32″ 720p LED tv for the same price.

    I love this tv, I use it as a computer monitor and it works out great, I mostly play video games or watch videos on the internet so resolution was not that big of a deal for me.

    Pros:

    – Very good picture quality.

    – Great value.

    Cons:

    – Speakers are horrendous.

    – Changing channels takes nearly two seconds per click.

    – Sometimes I have to click the remote twice to get it to function.

    Other Thoughts:

    – This is a great buy at the price point.

    – Ideal use would be for a computer monitor.

    After researching the purchase of 2 LCD TV’s for my kids, I was shopping around and discovered this Westinghouse. I actually didn’t think it would be a serious TV, as it was less money that comparable LCD TV’s sitting on either side of it on the stores shelf. All were on, and set to the same channel. So comparisons were easy! I was prepared to hate the Westinghouse, thinking is was in the same class as some of the “no name” brand sets..junk! After all it was less than $400.00!

    But when we were getting ready to pick up the boxes of Phillips TV’s and put them in the cart to take home, we started reading the box thatthe Westinghouse was in. Did my eyes deceive me? Did it really say LED on it! No way. We walked over the the high end and expensive LCD TV’s. and the 32″ ones that said LED were $700.00 plus! Samsungs, Vizio, Panasonics, etc.

    First of all, an explanation for the “electronically challenged among us..like me! A regular LCD TV uses fluorescent edge lighting to shine thru the LCDs to make the picture viewable. Good enough!

    Then there are newer technology LCD TV’s with LED edge lighting…LED’s all the way around the screen shine thru and illuminate the TV screen. Saves energy because LEDs use a small fraction of the energy as the fluorescent lights. Better but the black and darker colors are not as “black”, and colors a bit washed out.

    BUT…the Westinghouse LED back lit LCD’s have black blacks! Deeper color, brighter, vibrant colors (wait till you see the yellows!). And way less energy, about the same as a 40 watt light bulb. And the TV is slim..I mean slim!

    1″ thick and 14 1/2 lbs!

    Terrific featurers, nice price, outstanding technology for way less than others, all the featurers..great value over all! And I can’t even begin to tout the picture quality except to say you have got to see it yourself!

    I have had good experiences with Westinghouse TV and monitors in the past so when i saw this LED TV at my local club at such a low price, I went ahead and get this and the 26″ for my guest bedroom and home office. This 32″ ends up in my office and 26″ in the guest bedroom (LOL, the original plan was the reversed). The image is just amazing. 1080i source from my satellite box, and my PC. I totally love it!! The viewing angle is wide enough for me to roll my chair around the office and still get a great picture. Another amazing thing is how thin and light it is. I mean my other 32″ LCD TV weights like almost twice heavier than this unit. I wish it has 4 HDMI rather than 2 but hey, for the price, i can’t complain.

    I highly recommend this TV for bedrooms and home offices because of the size. I think 32″ is too small for a living room. I have a surround sound speaker system in my office and using that combined with the TV, I feel like I am in my own private movie theater. Now how do get my wife to stuff bugging me and I will live a peaceful and happy life.
