way to thread crap retard. did you realize how this thread dates back over a year and has thousands upon thousands of posts? maybe it's because it's actually a good monitor at a good price (esp. when you look back at the history of this thread, you could get this monitor for the same or less as a 24" Dell...)

every brand has their good models and their bad models. WH although not as well know as sony or samsung has great tvs. as Nutz said price v. performance. i'd rather pay less for a decent 1080i tv. as i don't have deep pockets.

I love mine as well.. 42 inches of pure computer monitor gaming goodness @ 1920 x 1080.
for its price it is great, at the time I bought it the similar samsungs were nearly twice as much. Now they are within 5-600 dollars and supposedly their hdmi issues are fixed. Provided the black levels on my 42 TX are barely better than my brothers 24" dell (if any), mine can be used as a TV (w/ 2 tuners) and has 4 hdmi ports which sadly are being unused at this point. Still waiting for ps3 to drop a bit more and GT5 to come out.
come on, dude... look at the damn price!
i got mine shipped for $690 refurb. i sold my 37" olevia 720p for $575... basically paid a lil over $100 more to get a 1080p LCD!! i still use my 2405fpw Dell as my pc monitor, but soon i'm gonna migrate the westy in as a PC + TV combination and use the 2405 as a 2ndary (right now use a 2005fpw as a 2ndary).
You are forgiven..
..Had my Westy since Jan 07 and cant think of a monitor I would rather have as I wait for Mr Brown Guy to get here with my wall mount..I'm still mullling the 42" tx model. I've been considering where to put it and the only possible place is on some 4'x1.5' metro shelving. It would be nice to avoid the extra height of the stand, but from looking at photos, i can't figure out how i would mount the monitor between two shelves. Has anyone tried mounting their flat panel Westy to metro shelving?
and some ppl got theirs from onsale for $600 shipped with 1 yr warranty!!! mine was $690 shipped with 90 day...
This monitor has served me well since I purchased it last Christmas, but ever since I strated playing WoW, I've been getting really sick. I have to sit too close, and I'm getting some bad headaches. I'm going to miss it's convenience and large size, though, as I've had to switch back to a 24". Anyways, if anyone is interested in buying it, let me know and I'll work out an ebay transaction.
wow same here..but for brief HL2 or CS sessions, or any FPS type games. The dizziness caused me to stop gaming almost completely..just GTR2 on occasion now. I'm interested in selling too lol. Anyone in the capital area interested?
Did you get a refurb? ruh roh.....

haha, the lowest i would go is 525 and you would have to pick it up.
So I purchased a Westinghouse LVM-37W3 from Onsale.com two months ago. They were out of stock at the time, so a month later they ship it. It got to my door a on Friday (Nov 9th)
Here's how it looked when I opened the box!

yea, thats right.
Here's what happened to it while shipped to me!

Since there is some further complications to my purchase (mostly me living in Canada). I have to go through a few hoops to hopefully get this repaired.
The display itself does work, so hopefully UPS either gets it repaired, gets me a new one, or gives me money and the monitor to make me go away.
My theory: Customs opened the box, didnt package it correctly, then it got damaged when shipping from customs to me.
For the 15 seconds i sat infront of the monitor testing if the picture worked. Best 15 seconds of my life to date.

i think u can get the 1080p tx42 westy with 4hdmi ports from bestbuy right now for 989 - 10% coupon = 870 or so.
I have a LVM-37w3 non SE which I bought back in January I have my Xbox 360 hooked up to it via component and the Xbox 360 is set to 1080P. Now I am having an issue I didn't even realize I had until I played on my cousin's Xbox 360 and his LCD TV which is set to1080P, I forgot what brand the tv was. But at any rate my problem is that at 1080P via component my contrast levels are way too low, any games with dark areas are near pitch black. If I set the 360 to a lower resolution 1080i or 720P my contrast levels are correct. Also if I hook up my 360 via the VGA cable at 1080P my contrast levels are correct. Have I had a goofed up set this whole time or is this a known issue? Sorry if my post isn't clear I'm running off of 8 hours of sleep in the last 2 days here.
technically you can get it at a bit over 400, though it requires a bit of work and definitely YMMV..see slick deals or FW for more details
Link to it because I can find it!!!
