I was wondering if anybody has ever owned one of these before? Or if anybody has any idea how reputable this company is.

Thinking about picking up the 27" HDTV from the black friday best buy ad, but I don't wanna buy a turd


Also does anybody know if the Black friday pricing applies online as well?
I know it wouldn't for the doorbuster stuff, but just the regular ad items?

My Dad just got a 46" Westing house and its great. However, I think the one bestbuy is still might be a turd. Check around for some reviews on that exact model, though for the price it can't be thaaaaaat bad.

Westinghouse makes killer LCDs, but you're going to have to wait outside 12 hours in advance and literally run when the doors open to get one. The 27" and 32" will be gone as soon as the first 25-50 (however many sets they have) customers walk through the door.

so it wouldn't be available at the BF price online?

I still think i will try..........who knows, I'm a quick clicker!

Anybody else have any reviews of it? I've only found 2 and they seem to conflict with each other

I want to get the 32" Westinghouse HDTV.....is that one good?

I found reviews on CNET and one on a search for google, but those were for the 27"

maybe they have more for the 32"

comon....12 hours, give me a break...you need to wait no more then two hours MAX out in front of best buy. This isnt a resellers item like the Wii or PS3.

Last year i was inside best buy three hours past open and they still had all their doorbusters.

you have to understand that your case is the exception, and definitely not the rule. it's been stated more than several times here on CAG that most Best Buys' lines begin to form in the very early hours of the morning (1-2am), and some begin forming the night before! swing by any of my FIVE nearest Best Buys, and you will see a line at 1am, guaranteed. it's been that way for a couple years now.

in any event, you're not going to have to do any running. Best Buy employees move along the line an hour before the store opens and pass out vouchers to the first xx amount of people waiting in line. this usually guarantees the items' availability to those folks for a few hours, giving them time to shop for other items before picking up their doorbusters on the way out.

so, uh, like i was asking..........can i order it online at the discount price?

if so, what time should I start with the order?

I have a couple of friends that bought westinghouse monitors and they love them. As far as the HDTVs I have read good reviews about their price and quality. As far as westinghouse as a brand name I think they are experimenting with the TV market right now but have been turning out quality products ( lighting, lcds, industrial equipment ) for at least ten years now.

The average "score" online for a westinghouse is 8/10. People seemed to be very satisfied with them and for the price they bought it for. So this BF price can't be passed up.

We have a 32" Westinghouse LCD and it looks great for DVDs, HDTV, and games. Standard TV tends to look a bit washed out. Overall we are very happy with the purchase.

The Northgate Best Buy here in Seattle and also the local Best Buy from back in Louisiana both have/had Black Friday lines starting before midnight the night before. And these TVs, especially those two smaller Westinghouses, are the two hottest Black Friday items of any retailer thus fair.

And they could -easily- be resold for $200+ profit each. I doubt many resellers will fight for them, but fact is they're being sold for far below market value so very few people will pass on them.

Honestly, I think you'd be better off going with one of the Circuit City or Walmart deals, even though they aren't quite as hot, just because you'll have a better chance of actually getting your hands on one.

I have the 32 and love it. Would love to grab another...but not in those lines. Pass.

We have the 32 inch also, it's a nice TV.

Ok thanks guys,now I just have to go stand in line at BB!!!

standard TV looks washed out on all HDTVs, because the picture is stretched out

This is true, you need to utilize the 4:3 ratio setting that most HDTV's have to correctly get the aspect ratio look of standard TV.
