I was initially scared off by a lot of the negative reviews here. However, one or two people said the sound problems were fixed by the new firmware so I took a chance when I saw a refurbished version of this TV on another site for a ridiculously low price. I'm thrilled that I bought it. When the TV first arrived I entered the serial number on the Westinghouse site and got the firmware fix. The TV did nothing when I tried to install the fix via USB drive. I called the Westinghouse customer service number. It picked up in under two minutes and a knowledgeable American customer service rep told me that it had it meant that my model had probably already been upgraded. When I began using the TV I was blown away. I already have a 46 inch Samsung and I have to say that the picture quality on this set is equal or maybe better than the much more expensive Samsung. I have no audio problems. No lip-sync problem. No hum. I have been watching the TV for 3 days and I think it is just great. The only minor problem I can find is that the volume is a bit low for DVD's when I hook the player up with standard RCA cables. I plan on trying an HDMI cable and I wonder if that will help. All in all, do yourself a favor and buy this set. You won't regret it.

Westinghouse SK-26H520S 26-inch LCD HDTV br /This is my 3rd HDTV and I've owned a Samsung and a Vizio branded LCD TV. br /I decided to downsize since 32" was a little too big for the bedroom and this fit the bill. br /I had to do some color calibrations since the out of the box picture wasn't all that great. I also had to re-do the calibrations since the firmware update is a MUST to clear off the SD audio/video lag. Not sure what audio issues some users are experiencing because I hear no buzzing with mine. No dead pixels either but usually that's a function of the (un)luck of the draw. br /TV could've used more silver highlights around the casing or make the bezel shinier to make it look more appealing. The picture does speak for itself however. Pretty great value for the price that's for sure. Big pros are lots of connectivity options and a pretty good TV tuner. br /My main complaint is that it's not as bright as the other 2 TV's that I've owned.

In our search for a replacement tv for the guest room, we found this dog at the local Sam's Club. This was our first and last purchase of anything with the Westinghouse logo on it. Once plugged in the color kept switching from orange to purple with a touch of green. The audio could not be heard over the sound of excess humming. Westinghouse customer support offered several suggestions. None of which worked. Finally, a different tech told me what I already knew. The company has had numerous problems with the unit. After exhausting all avenues we immediately re-packed this poor excuse for electronics and carried it back to the store for a refund. Lesson learned.
The fix changes everything!!!! April 3, 2008

The firmware fix available on the company website changes everything. I enjoyed the T.V. which I bought as a refurb during the 3 month trial period. It only had the occasional lip sync. However, after the 3 month trial ended the T.V. audio problems worsened and I was worried I was duped. However, I found the review that mentioned the firmware update and its been nearly 2 weeks and the firmware update has removed all audio issues I have had with the T.V. The instructions on the Westinghouse website are easy to follow but fail to mention that the type of flash drive used may result in your T.V. not registering the update. I had to use 3 different flash drives before it finally registered the update. Other than that the T.V. is great with amazing video quality and well worth the price!!!!
