The vivid details and brilliant color deliver high-end TV viewing experience and its lightweight design allows it to be unobtrusive as well as ideal to be hanged.

Also, it offers 3D reduced noise clarity and stable video with advanced color purity. This HDTV has multiple inputs through which I can enjoy on the screen various types of media. With the help of its video inputs and 2 HDMI inputs I can connect to the TV tuner, DVD player, Blu-ray player, camcorder, or game console etc. The input for TV Tuner allows me to connect to my cable box.

Westinghouse LD-3255VX Review – Final word

I remember when I went in to the store to pick out a TV for my son. I had seen it along with the other LCD TVs which were sitting on the same shelf of the store. There was the same channel on all the TVs as usual and it was very easy to make comparisons. I saw the price and was under the impression that Westinghouse LD-3255VX simply belongs to some nameless brand; I did not like it at all! It was later that I noticed the word “LED” on it. I could not believe y eyes at first, because the other LCD HDTVs by Vizio, Samsung etc were all very expensive and the Westinghouse model was under $400.
I am not a specifications fanatic when it comes to electronic gadgets; a basic LCD TV that makes use of fluorescent lighting on its edges so that it shines when the TV is on is good enough for me.

I am very much aware of the kind of reviews that Westinghouse brand received in the past. I still went ahead and bought the Westinghouse LD-3255VX. I cannot say that I am 100 percent happy about my decision but I am not unhappy either. My kid doesn’t complain at all because he doesn’t really care about any of the details other than cartoon network. So, from the pricing point of view I feel that this TV is ideal for kids. Unfortunately, this TV can’t be recommended for living rooms. The unit is otherwise real easy to set up; all I had to do was screw some screws in the base. And then, I plugged the set into my kid’s bedroom wall and it was set.
