I haven't followed this topic but I've got to say for the price this is a decent deal. I bought this same TV under two years ago and it was retailing for $569 after a discount, this was before tax as well. Final price was $629.

I had a free giftcard though so only paid $260 out of pocket, so this $399 is sure getting much closer to what I ended up paying.

TV has missing features, like PIP, for some reason they turned this off on the firmware update, but it works decent for the price paid.

Checked the Costco here in Charlotte, NC. It is here and in quantity. Buying one this evening. Checked reviews. Mixed, but generally positive. Great find. Might be able to do better on BF, but I need one now.

Starting in 1998, the new WEC has licensed the famous brand for use on a multitude of products, some (though not all) of which were in similar categories to those sold by the historic version of the company. It should be noted that, though these products advertise the Westinghouse name, they are neither manufactured by the historic Westinghouse company nor are the quality standards necessarily actively maintained by WEC.

Stay away from Westinghouse. I had one of these total junk.

I wanted to set up my PC with the 37" in our bedroom so that we can also use that as a TV, but I want to get back into PC gaming so having it in the bedroom when she sleeps is a bad idea.

This might be the solution! I'll have to think about it...
Let us know what you decide...

pics?

so if you can wait, do you guys suggest waiting until black friday or holiday sales to get a tv? Or do you think they will not get much cheaper than this. Cause I have read several times that it is expected that TVs will take a nose dive when it comes to price pretty soon.

confirmed at Marina Del Rey, CA as well this afternoon.

I guess you feel safer if these bozos build unreliable reactors than unreliable LCDs.

I agree with others, though, about the value of brand... Couldn't care less, by now, most brands have become dissociated from the brand owners,
with contract manufacturing in China or elsewhere even cheaper. Many coming from the same manufacturers anyway, if you are lucky, and unlicensed
brand uses better QC, abd tighter manufacturing specs, but even that is questionable

This is fundamentally flawed argument. There are many factors that have contributed to the fall in prices of these TVs. My fear is that misconceptions like this are going to have an impact on the upcoming election.

That is a fundamentally flawed fear...you see, most people will vote for whoever the TV tells them to vote for. The price of TV's has nothing to do with it.

Especially if the TV only gets FOX news. !!!!And if the tv only gets the "C"ommunist "N'ews "N"etwork!
