I've had my Westy 37' 1080P monitor for a couple years now. It
usually lives in the bedroom but it pulled living room duty while the
piece 'o crap Sharp DLP was in the shop. Turned it on last week and
no video. Fortunately, I purchased an extended warranty.
Unfortunately, Westinghouse told my servicer that they have to get the
main board from a distributor, who sent an email saying it would be
available in 15-20 working days.
I guess this proves the point that Leonard and others have made. The
price you pay for a second tier set may not come at the initial point
of sale.
