Does the job, but that's all
 
Review Date: February 22, 2009
Reviewer: Bodhi Speaks, Los Angeles
I use this DVD/TV combo at tradeshows to show off my product and the DVDs that go with it. the contrast ratio is very low, so the picture is pretty crappy. the color is way off as compared to all other monitors/TVs i own, and the volume just doesn't quite go to 11, if you know what i mean (see Spinal Tap if you don't). for those of you who missed the reference, the volume isn't loud enough.

but for under $500, and as a TV i won't be devasted should it get damaged or stolen, and just to let people know how to use my product, i don't have any major complaints. none of the DVD/TV combos seem to have very good pictures. i guess that's part of the deal.

i would love it if these DVD players upconverted to HD, since the monitors all are HD, adding to the lousy picture quality.
Don't buy it

Reviewer: Roger Koster,
When it comes to a HD television, you get what you paid for. The price is low on this TV but so is the picture quality. If you are viewing the picture from squarely in front of the screen you get a normal picture. But if you are at even a slight angle, either from the side or below, the color and the picture is distorted. However,I do think the sound quality is fine. If I had it to do over wish I would of paid a little more for a different brand.
Sit exactly here to see the picture.

The picture contrast/brightness is so poor that you must be exactly in the front and center position to get a reasonable picture. The specs say the viewing angle is 160 deg. Horiz and 150 deg vert. This is a total misrepresentation. I would estimate less than 30 deg in both directions. We put it in the bedroom so the viewing would always be from the same point.
Lock up, Works good, Lock up

Reviewer: Olias4,
Purchased a refurbished unit had a number of problems. Returned said unit. Replacement arrived, works good for the most part but locks up at least once a day. I installed a remote light off/on switch to reboot. Also, once and a while I can here the DVD player running when the unit is off. I have to turn on the set and turn it off again to stop the DVD. Not worth the price.
Westinghouse TV died at 21 months

Reviewer: K. OLEARY,
I bought a Westinghouse SK-19H210S in February '08. It was an acceptable, modest cost HDTV until it suddenly stopped powering on 21 months after purchase (and very light use during those months). I can't speak with certainty about other models from Westinghouse, but heed my experience!

New it was $330 plus tax. Now it is worthless.

Though well out of its one-year warranty, I thought it worth asking if the company would address the problem (since who would ever pay a nickel for a TV that would die in less than two years). A Westinghouse customer service supervisor said they would only stand by their one-year warranty.

I won't buy a Westinghouse TV again, and you shouldn't buy one in the first place. A tip: Many Visa and MasterCard bank issuers include a one-year warranty extension on products with warranties of three years or less. If your bank offers this benefit, save your itemized original receipt, your card statement, and your warranty terms so that you can make a claim through Visa or MasterCard.
DVD player quit working, poor viewing angles
 
Review Date: February 19, 2010
Reviewer: K. Phillips, United States
I bought this television a year ago, and completely regret it. The biggest reason I purchased this model was that I wanted a TV / DVD combo. The DVD player would act a little funny soon after buying it, if I put a DVD in with the tv off, it would turn on but the volume would not work. Then later it starting having sync issues, if I paused it at any point the sync would be off when I resumed.

Now, a year after purchasing, the DVD player has completely failed in a matter of a couple days. No matter the disc it putters and then says "NO DISC."

Additionally, as soon as I got the television set up I realized how limited of a viewing angle it has. If you are looking at it straight-on it will look fine, but the slightest angle and the colors are very skewed and the picture is hard to decipher.

One more thing, because of the front-load dvd, this unit is pretty boxy. Not a good candidate for wall-mounting.
