Well, the title says it. I was looking to replace the small 26" 720p LCD HDTV I sold before moving and ALMOST bought a Westy LVM42W2 42" but I happened to see the NEW Westinghouse TX-42F430S TVs for sale at BestBuy. They look like they use the same display, but include an ATSC & NTSC tuner, 4, yes FOUR HDMI ports, and the TV cost me less than $1300 out the door from a local retailer. And so far, I am happy! I just moved in so I don't have cable yet, but I had some shows recorded on my DVR machine and played them back, along with a normal DVD. Everything so far looks awesome. Here are some (crappy) shots:
Vista in 1920x1080 looks glorious!
HDTV recording in Vista Media Center (720p I believe). It looks damn good.
SDTV, zoomed to fit the screen. It doesn't look too bad at all. Better than my old LCD for sure.
Yes, ignore the craptaculous TV stand. I am still moving in and couldn't wait to hook up the TV. I will be picking up a real stand in a couple days, along with a couch to sit on (I'm using a folding chair!) and also setting up my surround sound. Oh, the speakers in the TV actually work really well. There is even a subwoofer built in. Not much punch, but stuff doesn't sound tinny at all. Once I get my cable and HD stuff setup I can post some more pics. Not that my crappy digicam does it ANY justice!
