Westinghouse SK-26H240S - 26" LCD TV - widescreen - 720p - HDTV - black Review

I was in the market for the largest TV i could afford back in 2007, I was at best buy and saw this model and the picture looked great on the display model I am legally blind so for me a large screen tv is a need more so then a luxury. Though i suppose it could be considered both in my case as well.

Either way, I am video/broadcast student so I went into this purchase with some understanding about A/V the typical consumer might not. For example, I have read both gripes and praises about this television set. The main issues were concerning A/v sync with analog video though a small percentage have commented on digital challenges too.

First of all I tried all the connection types and tried to reproduce the issues on purpose and I was unable to. so no complaints here.

Second, why would anyone expect analog signal to be perfect on a DIGITAL TV, they are two different technologies.
A rule of thumb is an LCD looks best at it's native resolution which analog won't even come close to on an HDTV.

Third the sync could have been caused by all kinds of factors that don't need to be listed here either way I talked to westinghouse and was told it was only a small percentage of tvs in comparrison to the mass production that had this issue.

I did however find a firmware update today for the tv from westing house and applied it.. While i didn't have any issues i find it good practice to stay up to date.

All is great for blu ray digital antena even my theater in a box with component is very satisfactory for standard dvd that isn't upconverted.

About audio: I don't care how good the tv speakers are you won't get the true experience of the movie without an eternal receiver and speakers. It just won't happen tvs were not built to be a theater they were built to be a display that's why we have separate ampliries.
The bottom line is this is a great tv like any other product it has bad ones come off the plant and since it runs linux software sometimes has bugs that need to be fixed. yes the tv has linux based firmware so it's actually running linux in a form.

Bottom line it's a good tv for a good price not the most expensive but it's good for what it's intended use is.
