Quick Shot Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I have a problem with my tv. At first I thought it was me but it's not. So this bega when I turned my tv on and I'm guessing the lamp in the back was not working properly becuase the picture was really dark and I was not able to adjust it. So I had to turn the TV off for a while and turn it back on. And this happened 2 times. After a while the picture because blury and it's staying like that. Now I don't know if it's just me or is that possible. It was a little blury from the start but I think I see a difference in picture quality. I still have warrnety from best buy but I was wondering if it's a big problem or just me... I have a Westinghouse 32" LCD TV TV Model : LTV-32w1 Picture : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted June 26, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 26, 2006 Ah Westinghouse....try to reset the TV. Unplug it and leave the cord out for a minute then plug it back in.However, don't be shy to use that BB warranty. I'm betting you're glad you got it at this point lol.

bangbang023 Veteran Posted June 26, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 26, 2006 Westinghouse is notorious for odd problems like this. This year's models tend to turn all pink and need to be reset periodically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they should stick to white goods hey :-p Sadly, they're one of the top selling LCD's in the states because of their price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashy Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Oh. One of those brands hey. Mmm, could be good and bad. Good, people are making the move, bad, the quality is breached because of the price. Here in Australia, I have never been into a "good" electrical store, and seen a no name brand, I don't think as Australians, we would allow it, we want the real deal, or nothig at all :-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i'd like something thats half the price of a 'name brand' and still has the same quality, true this is not always the case but thats where discernment comes in. So please don't paint us as a pretentious bunch of snobs. Thankyou :ike: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruckWEB Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 It's interesting to know that Westinghouse is the first on the shelf with a real 1080p HDTV LCD. I've read review on the Web and everybody seem to like it very much but they all had the same problem : the TV did not want to power off OR power on with the remote and TV button after a while, they had to unplug/replug it first.... But that seem to be the only "big" problem with it. For the rest, they all rave about the image quality and the fact that it's 1080p native. Review : Westinghouse LVM-42w2 Another review of LVM-42w2 And the price is realy....realy good. No wonder people buy it.... Think about it, you can have it for 1780$ (on Amazon.com) and the projected price of the Sony 40" 1080p is 4000$ when it's out in September. I just hope that Samsung will have a 1080p LCD soon to compete with Sony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted July 26, 2006 Veteran Share Posted July 26, 2006 Yes, but I'd rather dish out the extra few bucks for a TV that gives me zero problems. Plus, when you buy a brand like Samsung, you know you are getting a quality TV set that will last you for years. You don't get that same feeling when buying the cheaper brands, such as Westinghouse.

I would not buy Westinghouse, i'm no fool. but for ordinary people, it's a huge step from 1800$ to 4000$ for the "same" thing, minus 2inch... The Westinghouse is 42inch, Sony's new LCD is 40inch.... It's not what I call "extra FEW bucks". That's why I HOPE that Samsung will soon sell a native 1080p LCD that will ofer zero problem and will cost less than Sony...

L3thal Veteran Posted July 26, 2006 Veteran Share Posted July 26, 2006 Of course, I would never spend $4000 for a TV either. By a few more bucks I meant a better brand whose cost was around $400-$800 more, not $2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
