Westinghouse EW32S5UW 720p LED HDTV

FEATURES:

• High definition resolution
• 100,000:1 Dynamic contrast ratio
• Slim, lightweight design
• PC connection
• Sleep timer
• Energy efficient

REMOTE: RMT-22

RATING: 3.5 out of 5 stars

Welcome to a review of the Westinghouse EW32S5UW LED HDTV. What draws most customers to this model is by far the low price of the set. They are very pleased with the amazing quality this model delivers for the price. The screen is a nice size and easy to mount and set-up due to its light weight. This model unfortunately has only 2 HDMI inputs but is enough for the average user. A blu-ray, sound system, or game console can be attached. Features and connections are basic but this set was made with simplicity in mind. There is no internet connectivity nor is the set capable of 3D. The resolution is 720p, as opposed to 1080p, however the difference is not easily visible unless you are really close to the TV. The 176 degree wide vertical and horizontal angles allow easy viewing from anywhere in the room. The picture quality provides beautiful color and contrast and crisp, clear images. The complaint most noted by customers is that in order to activate the digital tuner, one must place a phone call to Westinghouse to get a code. While this can be bothersome, it should not deter you from purchasing this model that not only saves you money but delivers a suprisingly excellent theater-like viewing experience.

The part number for the remote control that accompanies this set is RMT-22. The remote is easy to use and navigate.

As with many flat screen TVs on the market today, sometimes sound quality is not the best due to the slim design of the unit. This does not need to be a problem. By attaching a sound bar, speakers or a good quality sound system, you can achieve excellent sound quality, thus enjoying your TV to the fullest. Together with the excellent picture quality, all you need to feel like you’re at the movie theater is a big bowl of popcorn.

PROS:
• Great price
• Easy to set-up and mount
• Wide viewing angles

CONS:
• Average sound quality
• Only 2 HDMI inputs
• Need code from Westinghouse to activate tuner
