Does anyone have a Westinghouse 55 inch led tv?

Nick

Hi, I just bought the tv for like $520 like 2 days ago. So far so good, but have read a lot of reviews for Westinghouse TVA and people say it dies fast. But these reviews are for different models. It's hard to find reviews for this model. I've even searched YouTube and it seems like no one as this 55 inch model. So if anyone has a 55 inch led tv by Westinghouse let me know how its doing. Thanks.

Answer
Your going to get a wide variety of answers when it comes to the quality of off-brands like Westinghouse.

For starters, I have a 42" Westinghouse that has been performing solidly for nearly a decade now (its LCD not LED)...so I'm not a Westinghouse hater. That being said though, you have to understand that Westinghouse is a bargain priced, lower quality TV then big-box brands like Panasonic, LG, Samsung, Sony, etc.

It doesn;t mean that it will break in 1, 2, 5, or even 10 years. It just means that the chances of it breaking are quite a bit higher than on another higher quality brand. And in exchange for that risk...you pay a lower price. Plain and simple.

If your not willing to accept that risk...then you should return it.

Answer
1 ) Total pictures Quality. Technically much better in colour reproduction, better dark and black color.minimum the " motion blur " LED TV ( LCD display use LED as back light ) is RE-FINE and improvements to LCD TV.
however , some people will not get the " difference " between 55 inc LCD / LED TV .DUE TO.>
Human EYE are not the same , mose of the people accept standard 60 HZ entry lever LCD TV, there happy for that .some people are " sensitives " to image quality from the TV.
Beware also maker/brand quality.
since some buyer / local house brand joint LED TV market 4 months ago. not all LED TV are quality .
if you compare a " house brand " 55 inc LED TV ( or any screen size ) to Samsung / Sharp / Sony Hi End LCD TV, i believe , " LCD TV " is better .
non of any LCD TV able to reach Samsung ( world no 1 in LED TV ) / Sony / Sharp LED TV PICTURES QUALITY.
2 ) Prices.
LED TV cost much more.usually 1 to 2 X compare to same screen size . except those " house brand " cost just a litter more or no difference compare to hi end LCD TV.
3 ) LED TV use 40 % less consumption ( W ).
50 - 55 inc LED TV around 150-180 W. LCD TV around 260 - 320 W .
OPTION.
55 inc big screen , Plasma is much better in total pictures quality and Prices. value for money .
total new Plasma technologies , life time as good as LCD/LED, is 60,000 hours. ( Panasonic Z series even much better .up to 100,000 hours ).
Easy burn in / over heating is not an issue any more, even long hours for games / still image.
all new Plasma models are energy star qualified.
compare to 55 inc LED TV and 55/58 inc Plasma TV ( 2009 models ), LED TV reach 95 % of Plasma quality, bt cost 1 / 2 X more in prices.

I want to buy a Samsung 55 inch 3D LED Smart TV. What shop in Australia sells it the cheapest? Also I was told that the shop Best Buy is not in Australia but a couple days ago I saw one in Sydney with its black and yellow logo that reads Best Buy. How is this possible if the company doesn't have shops here?

You can get the previous series cheap and current series is more expensive

Is there a delay while playing COD on larger televisions?

Ryan

I recently purchased a large 55 inch LED tv and while I'm quite happy with my purchase I am unhappy how there seems to be a delay when I'm ADS in COD while moving my joystick? Is anybksy else having these issues?

Answer
It's usually not due to the size of the TV but, more likely, the resolution and the resultant processing that takes place.

Try a couple of things...

- Most TVs now come with a "game mode". See if yours has one and if it does, enable it. This will reduce image processing and also optomize the settings for gaming.

- Make sure that your display resolution setting on the TV and the Xbox 360 match exactly. If your Xbox is set to 720p then set your TV to 720p. A lot of times, setting them to the native resolution of the TV works best. Yours may be either 720p or 1080p native. Having one set to 720p and the other set to 1080p will create lag because of video upscaling or downscaling.

Would you consider the Samsung UN55D6900 to be a TV worthy of spending $ on calibration?

I just bought this tv from Best Buy as a floor model and heavily discounted for $670. I got the 55 inch one. I feel great about the purchase, especially at that price, since I looked elsewhere, and even now, these sets are selling for upwards of $1300-1500.

Anyways, my main question is this...

Is this set calibration worthy? I want to get it calibrated but have read that on some basic sets, it's not even worth it since there is very limited options to tweak.
Is this one of those types of sets or is it considered a mid-high end LED tv?

Answer
Check the owner's manual for the procedure to reset the TV to its factory defaults, then do it. You shouldn't need to pay for anything, and the default settings should give you a great picture from any source. If you want, you can tweek any of the optional adjustments a little to see what you get. If you make a mess of it, you can always reset the defaults and start over.

What is the best sound system to buy?

I want to buy a sound system for my new Samsung 55 inch LED TV. I'm not sure what's a good sound system to buy for my TV.

Answer
Buy a receiver from a name like Marantz, Harman/Kardon, Denon, Onkyo, Yamaha, or Pioneer.
Then get a pair of speakers from Bowers & Wilkins, Paradigm, Infinity, Mirage, Polk, JBL, JL Audio, Energy, Wharfedale, Boston Acoustics, KEF, Velodyne... There's a lot and I can't yet name them all off the top of my head.
here is a helpful guide:
