Hi,

I've been reading, at length, the various opinions on the different Westinghouses, but it's a little difficult given the size of the 37" Westinghouse thread. I've picked up a few things, but I wanted to ask people's opinion directly.

I'm thinking of getting one of the Westinghouse displays, but I'm not quite sure which to get, either the LVM-37 or the LVM-42 or the TX-42.

On paper, I'd rather have a larger display, such as the 42" display, but the tuner for the TX-42 isn't a big deal for me, since I'm going to primarily use it as a computer monitor.

I've heard from some people that the TX-42 is a "step backward" from the LVM-42, but they didn't elaborate on it.

Most people seem to be pretty happy with the 37" Westinghouse (not the SE edition), but it's getting scarce. Is the 42" LVM otherwise any good for gaming compared to the 37" or are there strange firmware issues between the two sets (specifically the LVM-42W2)?

Thanks in advance.
 
Well the problem is that the 37" is basically non-existant for purchase now. The SE version is at newegg and has been sold at Costco, but it's basically a benjamin, and for that price you could get a Sharp 32". There is one place that should be selling refurbs for $600, but they've been out of stock saying they'll get it in soon for a while now. http://www.onsale.com

Looking in the huge westy thread, I think most people are happy with their LVM-42's, but you might want to take a closer look at that.
 
I am very happy with the LVM-37w3 but like eveyone is saying it is pretty much impossible to find at the moment. I think I could get used to a 42 but I would definately go with the monitor version other than the TX especially if you are mainly using it for computer.

Sweet! Thanks for the link man. I just ordered one and it went through. I called anyway to make sure, and they wanted me to verify my credit card, but after that they said it would ship out in 2 to 3 business days!

We'll see how it goes

-anyone want a 2407 hc? :D

Wait wait wait, they have them in stock?? well i'll be....
 
It isn't listing as in stock... You might want to call back to confirm that they actually have one for you. The site says that "Place your order today and be one of the first to receive this product when it arrives!" which I assume would mean that you will be in the queue for one if it ever comes in. If you would please confirm this and post it would be GREATLY appreciated by anyone reading this.:D

Unless the guy on the phone was a total moron, which could be the case lol, he told me it would ship in 2 to 3 days so I guess we'll see.

I just called, she said they are expecting a shipment on Oct. 5th.... so that's 3 days, haha. Hope they actually get them, someone was saying that the date has been pushed back once or twice :confused:

You're telling me! I hope they get them for sure lol.

Off to sell the 2407, ebay here I come! :D
 
You know the saying about eggs and counting and what not, I would wait until you have the shipping recipt in your email with a tracking number before even looking at eBay.

I am going to put in for this right now as well. I was going to buy the recertified 42, but the 37W3 is just too well documented on the boards to pass up, and for the size difference I would rather go slightly smaller anyway. I will post back if I see anything...

You're right on both counts.

I use to have a 30 incher, but after 6 months I was getting headaches. I'm going to move the westy farther back to give my eyes a rest.
