Summary: Very disappointed
Comment: On the positive side: the image is excellent, the system supports a multitude of inputs, the analog tuner works perfectly.
On the negative side: the QAM tuner and the computer that selects the detected stations via the remote are flawed. I connected this TV to my cable without the cable box to watch the clear-QAM digital stations from my cable provider. Autoscan found all of them. But trying to use the remote to select the detected channels are so frustrating that I just stopped trying to use the digital tuner. As I installed two of these TVs and both had the identical problems, I suspect that there is a serious design flaw.
If your purpose for this TV is as a PC monitor, for connection to an antenna, for connection to a DVD or for connection to a cable box (either using the analog output [which makes no sense] or using the digital connections) this might be very acceptable. However, if your application is to use the TV to tune QAM signals, this is not the TV for you.
Westinghouse's tech support was so poorly trained that they did not even know what a QAM tuner was for.
Have returned mine. Proceed corefully.

Summary: Great TV
Comment: Pros:
+ Great image quality (HDTV quality), screen also coated with anti-reflective coating (which means that it doesn't reflect light from the background that much, & thus you the screen is not that shiny)
+ Many ports (HDMI, VGA etc), can be used as a computer screen
+ Ultra portable
+ DTV, no digital to analog converter required (Feb 17, 2009 transition to DTV in the USA).
+ Really good for its price
+ Setting up very easy (I also find using its remote control very easy : for eg, while watching DTV, I can change the language, include closed captioning, and check the programming guide.
+ Included in the box: VGA cable to connect this TV to your computer and another one to transfer sound from your computer to the TV speakers. I use my laptop as a DVD player with this TV.
Cons:
- Found only one: I don't find the sound quality that superb. To my ears, the sound sounds as if it is coming from a pair of sound blasters enclosed within a box that is partly open. That is, the sound is kind of muffled - my laptop sound blasters output a much better sound than this HDTV. However, you can always attach your own sound system to this TV to get a better sound.

Summary: Pretty nice TV/Monitor!
Comment: I've had this TV/Monitor for about a month, and I've been very happy with it.
The TV works/looks great. Nice remote, easy controls, etc. etc.
As a computer monitor, it is FANTASTIC. The built-in speakers means that I don't need other items cluttering up my desktop. Image is very sharp.

Summary: Frustrating
Comment: Bought this for kitchen HD.
Good: Nice HD picture. Fairly simple screen navigation
Bad: Horrible connectivity. All the ports are bunched up w/in millimeters of the other- to make matters worse its on the left-hand side.
Ugly: The HDMI connection. When switching between SD and HD sources using your HDMI cable-you will get a blue screen. You will need to cut the power to your source 1-4 times before finally arriving at a picture. I took the first back to BB and they said its something w/the encoding system for the HDMI connector. Hmmm funny, my Panasonic plasma doesn't have that problem.
Summary: its a nice set for a nice price if you can put up w/the maddening problem w/its HDMI switch.
Side bar: I've tried cheap-o HDMI cables and better-made cables and you'll be smart to use the better ones. Yes a digital signal is a digital signal-but brightness is a big issue w/the cheaper ones.
Bluejeans cable or monoprice cable is the way to go.
