User Submitted Westinghouse LTV-32W1 32 Inch Widescreen LCD TV LTV-32W1 Reviews Date: 2010-08-19 Great tv, 4 years and still going I had to write a review about this TV that I bought over 4 years ago. Not a single dead pixel, plays daily almost constantly and never had a hiccup. I will be buying the newer LED tv's when they come out by Westinghouse. My only gripes are the black levels are not too great in a dark room and the backlight is a little too bright, but can be adjusted. I can say with confidence that this TV was a good choice in quality and longevity, and I bought it when it first came out for more than $1,000. Still got my money's worth from it. Ole reliable. I have seen as many negative reviews about Samsungs, LG, and Panasonics where people got lemons. So don't let a few negative reviews by non-professionals scare you away. Date: 2010-02-27 Died after three years I bought this TV for Christmas in 2006 and was happy with it for the first two years. We don't have it hooked up to cable or satellite, it's used only for watching DVD's and is connected to a computer for watching streaming movies. Shortly after the warranty expired it began having problems. First it would not turn on or off reliably with the switch or remote. We'd occasionally have to unplug it to turn it off. Finally, it failed to work all together. Westinghouse customer service was terrible! They suggested it was unlikely to be repairable. Best Buy won't help unless an extended warranty was purchased. This TV was used less than 10 hours a week so it's very frustrating to trash it after such a short time. I think most customers would expect their investment in a flat-panel TV would last more than 3 years and 2 months. I will never buy a Westinghouse product again. Date: 2010-02-12 Will never buy Westinghouse again! Had the TV no more than two years and the screen just started going blank. Like other reviewers, turning the TV off and then on again solved the problem in the beginning. Now when the screen goes blank, it has to be turned off for much longer periods of time before it works again. The price to fix the problem is more than the TV is worth. My brother owns a different model of Westinghouse and has had it for 6 months or so and the same thing is happening with his TV. Westinghouse it junk! Do not buy! Date: 2009-12-23 Westinghouse TVs break We bought a Westinghouse flat screen TV about two years ago. It was about 2/3 of the price of the other models. We figured the picture quality might not be as good, but we're not serious TV watchers, so the price break was huge for us. Now we're watching and the thing essentially turns itself off and won't turn on again for several minutes. Shell out a few more bucks and get a TV from a quality manufacturer. We're wishing we had. Date: 2009-12-01 Weigh the price with the length of use I have had the LTV 32W1 for 3.5 years now and up to this point I have had no problems and I really enjoyed the TV. Great picture and easy to use. I bought it as an open item at Best Buy back in May 2006 for just under $800. The TV just recently started showing the symptoms of what everyone else is describing. The TV will be on for 15-20 mins and then blank out. I've been told by Westinghouse that it is a power supply board or a main board failure and either of these problems are common with this TV. Sending it to Westing house will cost you the shipping + $225. You can try to repair it yourself but the parts will run you around $100-130. Just something to think about when you consider buying this TV. * Price is subject to change. |
