Westinghouse TX-42F450S
Released April, 2009
The Pros:Extremely bright, can handle a sunlit room with no problems. Tuner works with a wide range of standards and seems to pick up everything. Plenty of inputs for both legacy and newer equipment.
The Cons:VGA connection doesn't read from a PC properly, tends to lock up the screen. HDMI connections to a PC lose sharpness. Not capable of very realistic colors, tends to look overly vibrant.
