eCost, Westinghose, refurb, can't go wrong here. All this needs is a rebate to be complete.

A dream come true.

If it were a 52" 120 Hz Bravia and a Blu-Ray player at this price, I'd bite.

You might as well burn your money, it's a better idea then buying this crap.

u guys are such haters.

Is there such a thing as a new Westinghouse?

#1 & 4 thanks for joy & tears of laughter
Almost Agree # 2 Bravia and good dvd player with farudja chip wll be nicer.

Wish it was a Samsung

Has Westinghouse ever made a TV that didn't get refurbished?

Heh. I've got 2 Westinghouse LCD HDTVs and have not had a single problem with either.

hm, why not just ship em new with the lines across the screen, why wait!

Yeah, I got a Westinghouse refurb 32" a bit more than a year ago after i saw it here. it got good reviews too. but the lines showed up a few months ago...

lots of hate in this thread....I've had this tv (new) for 2 years now. Love it.

I knew I should have waited for this.

Stick a fork in your eye instead, it costs less.

I bought a referb Westinghouse TV in July of 2008, 30 days later it was dead (backlight). Sent it in for repairs, they still have it...had to charge back from my credit card to get my resolution. I like Amex better now, but can't find a good reason to like Westinghouse.

I got this same set refurbed from eCost last year. The set is still going strong. No dead pixels or lines. Maybe I'm just one of the lucky ones? The picture quality is great! Anti-reflective screen, so great for daytime viewing and great viewing angles. Won't get the oos and aahs from your friends like a Samsung or Sony would, but it's a pretty damn good TV if you're on a budget.

I'd be kind of nervous to get this one...
