LVM-42w2 Review Conclusion
The Westinghouse LVM-42w2 LCD display sports one of the best looking pictures I've seen in a while. The resolution simply trounces anything else, including the lack of advanced user controls and imperfect color settings. I fed it standard definition (480i), high definition (720p/1080i), and ultra high definition (1080p) and it simply asked for more. Its internal scalar is one of the better systems I've seen with hardly any noticeable artifacting and an ability to handle multiple input resolutions without favoring one over another. Its plethora of inputs will delight anyone who's ever wanted a display that can stand the test of time and grow along with the rest of your system. In summary, this is a display that simply begs to be seen.
MSRP: $2799
