User Reviews for Westinghouse TX-52F480S

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Color and Picture

    Weaknesses: Everything else

    Overall Evaluation: After 60 days we would turn on the tv and nothing would happen. We had ghost images, the news was on, even though the TV was off. The TV would loose the signal and give a black screen. The first contact was directly with Westinghouse and they said to unplug it and plug it back in, also try plugging it in a different location. A 52" mounted TV plugging in a different location

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: The price is a strength, the ease of use.

    Weaknesses: HDMI ports blew after having the TV for just three weeks. No PIP.

    Overall Evaluation: I have to say I was disappointed with the TV since after I had the TV for less than a month all the HDMI ports stopped working, I could no longer use any of them, thank god Crutchfeild.com replaced it with no questions asked. Since I received my new TV I have had no issues. Picture is great, I am no expert but I think the picture is outstanding.
