Great TV for a great price
After reading the positive reviews, I bought this TV from J&R (through Amazon) around mid-November for $999 plus shipping. The other reviews already gave the details, so I won't repeat them. Basically, I am very happy with it. A week after I bought it, the price dropped to $899 (seems like it always happens that way). Now the price has gone back up around $1299. People must be catching on that this is a great TV for the price.

Great features for a budget-priced LCD HDTV.
I did almost a half a year of research on many high-definition ready televisions, and noticed that an LCD flat-panel display would be best for my needs, since I have a computer to hook into a TV, and that would NOT work on a plasma or CRT HDTV. Plus, I love that this features more than any other HD-Ready set that I've seen. I looked at Sharps, Samsungs, JVCs, Sonys, and Panasonics, and thought that those were a little pricey, yet, I was looking for a TV that had that same quality, and for a better price. For the same price that those big brands want for a small TV, Westinghouse had this 32" for under $1K. This is one TV that is worth more than the price tag, and really seems to pay off big time. Just wish that the remote would be a little more responsive, and have more features for the PIP, using the menu all the time can be a pain in the neck for bringing that split-screen into play. Also, there's no way to fill the whole TV with the split-screen, either, it's all letterboxed. Other than that, the quality and responsiveness is just as good as those big name TVs, if not better.

Excellent and Cheap!
I've had this TV for a few weeks now... It's my first HDTV so I have little to compare it to, but regardless, I'm happy! I wanted a solid HDTV to use for a TV (standard cable) as well as for my three computers. The LTV-32W1 has inputs for VGA and DVI and viewing the output from my Mac is excellent! The resolution is 1360x768 or something like that... I can now relax on the couch while browsing the web or checking email! One note: the remote for this device is really bad -- the range is awful and it's really cheap. I use a Universal Remote so I simply programmed it off the original remote and dumped it back in the box. That seems to work well. On another review, someone mentioned that there's no "switch input to DVI" button on the remote that would allow you to select the DVI input without wading through the on-screen menus. However, hitting the "PC" button on the remote will first select the "VGA" input and a second press will select "DVI".

The quality is great on this TV... The case itself is solid, very pretty, and the built-in speakers are surprisingly good! There is some slight "white lines" with fast-moving video (this is pretty typical for any LCD I believe) and the unit I bought had a single dead pixel (near the bottom and not visible from a normal viewing distance).

It's a tad pricey currently, but when the price drops below the $1000 mark, this TV is a great buy!

Great LCD for teh price
I couldnt be more happy with the purchase that I have made. Although I am not AV expert, the TV looks beaurtiful, especially when playing DVD's through component as well as my computer through the VGA. Cable looks just about the same as when you watch it on a regular CRT (I do not yet have an HD cable boxed hooked up to this TV).

My only two complaints are these. Although there is PIP functionality, but not with the TV in both because there is only one tuner. Also, I had a problem with my power imput, which was very loose so that if the power cord would jiggle the TV would power down.

I paid about $850 through [...]. For me it was a great buy, and I think this tv looks better than the Olevias that i looked at. Additionally, crutchfield customer support is teh best. Buy through them.

The best TV no matter the price!
I have it connected to my Comcast HD receiver. The picture quality is nothing less than STUNNING! The remote is very logical and easy to use, the menu is wonderful, even the sound quality is great. WOW!
