Great performance and price, below average reliability Hewlett Packard PL4260N 42 in. HDTV Plasma TV

A local retail salesman once told me that many of the first HP TVs were made by . He said it was an easy sell because the plasmas were very highly rated at the time, and you could buy an HP for a much lower price that was basically the same .

Now, however, I’ve heard that Hewlett Packard makes almost all the components in their 42″ and 50″ TVs. Needless to say, I was interested to find out how HP is doing.

Great Display for the price…. Samsung PPM50H3 50 in. HDTV Ready Plasma TV

I have installed a few of these displays in some classrooms for Laptop and DVD/VHS machines. The image is crisp and clean and showing a PowerPoint slide show through the VGA input wonderful. With HDMI, DVI, VGA, Component, S-Video, and VGA loop through, you have tons of inputs for just about any need you might have. I would rate the color at a near perfect for this price point, the crispness is one of the I have seen in a . They include a very detailed menu system with a ton of anti-burn screen options, adjustments to color for the videophiles out there and even a way to rename the inputs on the display.

Everything I hoped for Westinghouse LTV32W6HD 32 in. LCD TV

Standard television is very good. My father has a , which is supposed to be one of the for SDTV and this looks better than his. There is no ghosting or any artifacts. For those who say it looks bad, chances are you are too close, or the picture settings aren’t tuned right. Obviously no matter what there will be issues going from SDTV resolution to HDTV resolution, the pixels have to be filled in somehow.

HD televison blows me away. I sometimes find myself watching golf just because of how amazing it looks! While I can’t to any other tv’s, I can for sure say that being a quality freak, this is everything and more that I hoped for.

The menu system looks neat and I find it easy to navigate. If you need closed captions, you’ll go bonkers over this tv. I haven’t tried them, but there are plenty of settings. Font, color, background color, etc can all be changed. The remote isn’t the greatest though. I find myself having to use two hands quite often. Not a huge deal but I like remote s that you can use from almost any angle but this one is about 90 degrees limited. It has great range too.

Inputs aren’t the greatest. It has every type you will need but just not very many. Two of everything is what I like to see, but hey this isn’t an expensive tv.

Speakers-I don’t use them and if you really care about the audio you should already have external speakers.

Great Value, Picture Quality, and Ease of Use Westinghouse LTV32W6HD 32 in. LCD TV

This is my first venture into Hi-Def television, coming from a 27″ RCA CRT stereo monitor/television. I researched many different brands and models. Wanting the most “bang for my buck,” and seeing numerous comments praising the Westinghouse LCD elsewhere, I chose the LTV-32W6. Buy had the most competitive price, and an “open box” special earned me a 10% gift card as well. Out the door, tax included, was $751.79. Getting this home was a breeze, it’s very lightweight, and the box fit into the trunk of my Cadillac SLS 4-door sedan (which doesn’t have a huge trunk) perfectly. Unpacking the unit was a breeze, and setup was as easy as 1-2-3, following the “quick start” card instructions. Westinghouse’s “SpineDesign” setup on the back of the set for all the A/V and power connections, etc., offers well-marked, easy access for everything. Mind you, I am still on analog cable, but the beauty, brilliance, and sharpness of the analog picture is breathtaking. Some channels were subpar, but that is a result of varying-quality analog signals, not the set. I can’t wait to see it on HD cable in the near future. The menus are easy to navigate from the remote, which is beautifully designed and laid out. After setting it up, I had a couple of technical questions and called Westinghouse customer service. They were extremely professional and very helpful. The sound quality from this television, once the bass and treble settings were bumped up to my preferences, is wonderful! The stereo effect is obvious and exceptional. There is also a nice array of settings which can be personalized, from contrast, sharpness, brightness, color saturation, backlight level, and picture “temperature,” which has three presets, and also an individualized menu where different levels can be selected manually. While this isn’t high-end Hi-Def, it’s definitely a great upgrade from analog CRT, and an exceptional value for the price.
