Just got my Westinghouse LTV-27w7 (27" widescreen)

Bought it from Best Buy on sale, it was a little under $700. In the display area, this one actually looked better than any other TV in the aisle, but I'm sure the others' settings had been messed with. This one was way cheaper than anything else this size, plus it looked great so I went ahead and got it. When I unpacked it at home I didn't even mess with the settings, it already looked perfect to me using the Xbox360 (the only HD content I can even get at the moment, games are my main focus). The HD video I downloaded off of Xbox Live looked absolutely amazing, and the games look just as incredible. This TV has HDMI as well. So far so good, this set is way cheap and looks great. Picture in Picture too! Highly recommended at this point.

Don't buy if you want OTA reception

I purchased the LTV-32w set just a few weeks ago.

WARNING!!! DON'T buy if you are planning on using OTA reception. I don't know what the problem is, but if I try to view any OTA HiDef channel, the TV becomes VERY, VERY unresponsive. Pressing any button on the remote responds in a few seconds, if that!

However, all of the other inputs work as expected and the quality is good for me.

Built-in sound stinks. The volume range is 0 - 100 and I have to turn it up to about 85-90 before I get decent volume.

It was a good price.

rmurfster,
Have you contacted Westingshouse about the problems?
It may be a good idea. Either they will help, address the issue or suggest you exchange the TV.

Both the OTA "problem" with the remote and the volume issue doesn't sound right to me. You should get it addressed while under warranty or the "exchange" period.
