Westinghouse - 24" Class (23.6" Diag.) - LED - 720p - Smart - HDTV

Bought this for $79.99 over the Labor Day weekend. I am giving it 5 stars for performance + features + price offering great bang for the buck. I am 100% satisfied with this TV and the price I paid. Local stores do not stock it, so I made my decision based on the size, price, customer reviews, and my recent experience with other Westinghouse TVs. This 24" TV did not disappoint. It was shipped fast, and arrived with no damage. Worked perfectly right out of the box. It was easy to set up. I looked for dead pixels and other screen defects but didn't find any. The TV I purchased is new, not open box. No blurry motion or stuttering observed while watching sports. Pros: Contrary to what some earlier reviews said, this TV *does not* cut off the news crawler on CNN, nor on Fox. I am on Time Warner Spectrum cable. Good picture, albeit the default settings are all a bit dark compared to many other LED TVs. You may have to turn up the brightness. The Cool / Warm / Neutral color schemes are all what one would expect. Sound volume is quite adequate for 15x20 room, and for elderly who have hearing deficits. 3 HDMI inputs 1 VGA input for use as a computer monitor Plays well with Roku 3600 stick and Spectrum's cable box, and old DTVPal Plus Dish Network DTV Receiver which is what I use for OTA TV. Smart tv had no problem connecting to home wifi and staying connected. TV is very stable using the feet that come with it. Lightweight TV but does not seem tip-prone. It's our third Westinghouse TV and all of them are very nice TVs for the money, and Best Buy has good sale prices. They are excellent for a budget TV. Cons: This model is not carried in nearby Best Buy stores, so I had to order it sight unseen and evaluate it's picture after purchase. (But it's acceptable.) Changing the source is a bit sluggish with some lag after you make your selection. Westinghouse warranty service requires you to mail them the problematic TV, so I recommend buying the Best Buy protection policy on any Westinghouse. Integrated digital TV tuner may not pull in as many distant stations as the old 2009-era digital tuner boxes can. I didn't try an OTA channel search on this particular TV, but I have found that true of all my other late-model TVs. I use old DTV converter boxes connected via the composite input instead of the TVs' internal tuners because I live in a rural area where the DTV OTA signals are few and weak. People in cities may receive plenty of channels using the TV's built-in tuner. Composite and component inputs are *shared* so you can only use one or the other, not both at the same time. VESA 75mm x 75mm is less compatible than 100x100, if you are looking at mounting this on an aftermarket TV stand or on a wall mount. 100x100 would have been more convenient for consumers.

I set the TV up and tried to watch CNN. CNN uses a rolling news banner across the very bottom of the screen. When I set my Direct TV incoming resolution at the TV’s rated resolution of 720p the Westinghouse screen cuts off the news banner so I cannot read it. Every other TV in the house shows the banner just fine. In order to get the Westinghouse TV to show the banner I have to “dumb the TV down” to 480p. By having to lower the resolution like this I lose clarity in the picture. My choice is to forgo the banner at 720p or forgo clarity at 480p. I don’t like my choices. Spent one half hour on the phone with Westinghouse customer service and another half hour on the phone with DirecTV. Each one blames the other and no one can help me. Every other TV in the house shows the banner just fine at that TV’s rated resolution. The Westinghouse TV although rated at 720p only shows you the whole picture at a low resolution of 480p. I’m taking this Westinghouse TV back to Best Buy to get my money back. Very dissatisfied. When I was a kid Westinghouse had the slogan “You can be sure if it’s Westinghouse.” Yeah you can be sure you won’t see the whole picture on their TV !!

The main reason for the two star rating is because the remote control in the reviewer's opinion is poorly designed and very bad. The remote control that comes with the TV does not have numbers so that you cannot input the channel number. Rather you have hit the up or down arrows multiple times to switch channels. This results in time wasted to go from one channel to another if the channels are separated apart by many in-between channels. Also the remote lacks basic functions such as mute and the button to switch back to the previous channel. The only good is that this smart TV enables connection via internet to basic video services. The only basic video services you can use with this TV are VUDU, You Tube and NETFLIX, which may not be good if you desire more video services. This Smart TV will work with an Antenna for free over-the-air TV and cable TV. I would not purchase this TV again solely due to the poor engineering design of the remote.

Needed a small TV that fits the budget and this one was the best one at the time. The size is alright and set up was fairly easy. I wasn't really to keen about the "Smart" features as I always used chromecast on my other tv. But at the time of purchase this was the only tv that really fits the bill. HAH, about the "Smart" feature: it isn't too smart. Sometimes the tv disconnects from the wifi and it is just a pain to reinstall it. You have to use the remote feature to enter the password and all the jazz. It could just be me. I've been using chromecast for a long time and just love the simplicity of it. The remote isn't really sensitive so you sometimes have to angle it closer to the tv sensor to read your intended actions. However, this tv does have 3 HDMI inputs so you can easily use your chromecast to avoid using the tv's smart feature-- which is a big win but defeats the purpose of the smart tv.

I purchased 3 of these online for work,1 came with no legs. Per instructions from the manufacturer that came in the box, they request "do not return to store" and to contact them with any issues. Response was slow and poor. I had requested the legs since that was all the was missing and wanted it shipped to my location. After a couple of weeks they let me know they do not have it, after requesting multiple pictures with the serial number, etc. After that, when I tried to start a return online on the best buy site, it stated that I couldn't. In regards to picture quality, it was ok. However the "access a wide range of streaming media, including Netflix and YouTube, to enjoy HD-quality TV. Feature" is limited to only a few apps, which do include netflix and youtube. ou cannot download any other apps. You only get what is installed. No amazon prime, etc.

Saw this on sale online for $79 and thought it perfect for my daughter in college. I set it up at home, and it was a snap loading up internet and Netflix, though a tad slow. I use an amplified indoor antenna and it gets most digital signals in my area. Loved it so much I kept it LOL and ran out and bought a second one for at school. She needed a coax for her cable TV at school, and that works fine. BUT she has five different wifis in her dorms, and even though one said it connected fine, all five Netflix servers would not work, and other included apps also failed. Not sure why but I'm thinking her wifi dorm is disabling the tv apps, or just not compatible. I didn't have time to troubleshoot so she hasn't been using smarttv. All in all I'm happy.

This TV has built in WIFi and cost less than $100. Do I need to keep going? Connecting to my WiFi quick and easily. I did see some the people complaining that it only had a few application on it that it wasn't a true Roku TV. For under $80 what are you expecting. I do have three knocks on the set though. 1. Picture Quality. It says it is a 720P but the picture just doesn't look all that crisp. 2. It is slow turning on. I guess that is because it has to connect to the WiFi before it comes to life but it stills seems slow. 3. The volume is somewhat lacking. I have the TV in the kitchen so it has to compete with cooking noises so I need a little more volume than this set has in it. Other than those minor issue at the price point I got it at it was a pretty good deal none the less.

I purchased this set to be placed at a garage work bench specifically to be utilized as a monitor for closed circuit TV security system. The picture is sharp and clear in all light conditions, be it day, evening, or night. The "Smart TV" features are limited but satisfactory for garage use but if you want more choose a different set. I have an HD antenna plugged into the antenna port that provides enough signal strength for 30 over the air stations, again plenty for my shop but I can't address cable or satellite input picture quality. Over all, a pretty good set for the cost.
