I bought a refurbished westinghouse LCD television from a liquidator (I wasn't expecting much but figured it was the most cost effective alternative) in March of '08. The tv worked fine for all of 3 months before it started getting weird. The colour started going first, it would not show certain pixels of colour (for example, if there were an image that was supposed to have a lot of black in it, the black would actually show as blue because the red wouldn't show to offset and show black) I could handle that, then the verticle hold started going. At first it would just twitch a little, now it sometimes gets so bad that I have to give up watching the tv at all because it looks like it's gone into "warp speed" and has no intention of righting itself any time soon.
I've called westinghouse customer support about it, but they say that because it's a discontinued model, they won't do the repairs for it any more. They will only supply the parts to a TV repair guy that I have to hire. What a load of crap.
I HIGHLY recomend NOT buying westing house ever again. They have terrible support not just in the USA (from the looks of it) but in Canada as well.
