HDTV Reviews

The Westinghouse W4207 is a sub $1000 barrier 42-inch LCD monitor / HDTV set with some nice features and performance and is one of the best and cheapest LCDs of this size available today. The only thing missing from this set is an inbuilt tuner, so if you plan on using this as a HDTV via OTA you will need to buy an external tuner. Cnet have a review of the W4207 saying. Around back, the W4207 has the familiar Westinghouse input arrangement, with two vertically aligned banks of jacks facing outward to either side of a central pillar. The set comes well equipped in this department, including one HDMI; one DVI with stereo audio that also handles HDMI sources when supplemented by an adapter; a VGA-style PC input with stereo mini jack audio; two component-video with stereo audio; one stereo audio output; and one A/V input with S-Video or composite video.

Overall, we had no major complaints about the Westinghouse W4207’s picture quality, especially considering its rock-bottom price. Sure, we could wish for better black-level performance, but it was about on a par with the 42-inch Vizios such as the L42HDTV and GV42LHDTV. And its color accuracy was perfectly acceptable. Still, we’d have preferred to see better uniformity and off-angle performance, as well as improved standard-def video processing.

The Westinghouse W4207 might not include a tuner, but for cable and satellite users who want high-def for less it’s a tremendous bargain.
