OK, here goes... Be gentle, its my first post. Target is advertising an Olevia 32" 720p LCD HDTV for $529 (regular $579). Not a big deal however, ad states that this TV comes with a built in DVD player. Target made a mistake as this TV does not have a built in DVD player and as a result is substituting the 32" Westinghouse with a built in DVD player for the same price ($529). I know its not a great name in LCD's but I bought one as a second set. We recently purchased a Sharp 52" Aquos 1080i for our living room so didn't want to spend a lot on a second set. I think this is a good deal. Also, keep in mind if you open a new Target credit card you take an additional 10% off. I did this and my total was around $515.00.

There is a sign when you walk in that states they are substituting it. My store is in South Setauket, Long Island. Hopefully they are doing this all over.

A good honest deal.
Thanks.

Sharp doesn't sell 52" 1080i TVs. You have a Sharp 52" 1080p TV.

This must be the Westinghouse SK-32H590D 32-Inch LCD HDTV with Built-In DVD Player. I bought one and find the picture quality to be excellent. It's always a personal preference with video displays but I like this (better color saturation) than the Sharp Aquos units that are so popular.

i've seen some westinghouses perform remarkably well, to this day.

Hmmm this has a LOT of green - is this a good deal? The TV they are substituting is no big deal, is it? $515 for a tv that costs like $560? Hmmmm

Don't forget Bell and Howell, Alpine, Cadillac, etc. A LOT of name brands sell out due to cheap knock offs and end up being cheap late night informercials, lower end quality or out of business completely. Sad how capitalism run a muck can ruin decent name brand merchandise sooner or later.

Ah well.. in for 2 or 3

FranksandBeans said:It's just my opinion, but whether or not you think Westinghouse's lcd's have a good picture quality is any good depends on whether or not poor black levels bother you. HD pops nice, colors look great, pc use is fine. But the blacks aren't very good. I've found that this tends to bother people or not. If not, nice deal.

I'm not sure why you're getting the red. Maybe because you seem to be attributing this fault to Westinghouse in particular, when in reality, it applies to EVERY single budget LCD panel out there; pathetic black levels particularly in low light scenes (in mixed light scenes, black levels look fine. But any LCD can do that well).

I had considered buying a Westinghouse TV, but after checking I found that they get consistently poor marks in Consumer Reports. Still a reasonable price for a 32" LCD with DVD player. Green from me OP.
