Welcome to a review of the Westinghouse CW40T8GW 40” Class, 1080p 60Hz LCD HDTV. The Westinghouse CW40T8GW is sleek and stylish, with a wide screen to give you that home theater feeling, but compact enough to fit in almost any room of the house. Set-up is easy and the TV is so lightweight that just about anyone can mount it. The menu is easy to use and offers many display options so that you can customize it with your preferences. With its 178 degree wide vertical, and horizontal angles, anyone can watch from anywhere in the room. It delivers bright, vibrant colors and clean, crisp images. Although this model has a 60Hz, as opposed to a refresh rate of 120Hz, not many people can discern the difference between 60Hz and 120Hz. The picture quality is still excellent, especially for the low price. With the parental control feature, parents can rest easy knowing that they can select the types of movies and shows that their children can view. The 3 HDMI inputs is more than adequate for most users’ needs. This TV is simplistic with its offerings, but it is easy to use, delivers a high quality picture and is quite a bargain for the low pricetag.

The remote that accompanies this model is RMT-21. It is a standard fully functional remote control which is very easy to navigate.

The two speakers for this model are found in the rear and are 6 watts. Many flat, lightweight TVs have been known to have poor quality speakers and this model is no exception. There are those who are satisfied with the sound quality this model produces. However, the majority of people who purchase this model are disappointed with the “sounds like everything is in a tin cup” sound. The solution appears to be attaching any sound system or high quality speakers into one of the HDMI ports. Once this is done, the sound quality greatly improves and customers can enjoy the sound and a crystal clear picture knowing that they paid a bargain price.

• EXCELLENT PICTURE QUALITY WITH CLEAN, CRISP IMAGES
• ADEQUATE NUMBER OF HDMI PORTS

The sound quality is very poor. However, to compensate for the speakers and achieve great sound quality, any sound system can be attached to the TV.
