I found one on local craigslist, 32 inch I can get for 150. It is the Westinghouse SK-32H240S.

I do have 2 Westinghouse LCD Monitors (19", 22"WS) at my disposal, and both are fine (not great, but not bad either). $150 seems like a decent deal for that, provided everything about it works fine. A quick google search shows it sold for ~$600 in 2007.

I have a 42" Westy monitor (it is a tv, but with no tuner). I've been very happy with it an its picture. Had it for about 18 months now.

That's basically the same one I got a year ago for $450. If I were to sell it now it'd be worth $250 or maybe a little less. $150 is a good deal. It's nothing special but it's still a 32" LCD. The inputs are nicely laid out... that's about the only outstanding feature I can think of.

i got this in 06, it was a popular buy back then.

i've loved it up until about 2 months ago it's developed some "panel etching" in certain areas of the screen. i got it from crutchfield with a 3yr warranty that i think covers it but i'm not sure (nothing like finding 3 y/o paperwork). it has seen very heavy use over that time, like it's on when i'm home.

My dad got the 42" 1080p westy when it was pretty much the only 1080p panel out and he still has it. It's a good panel, but the new ones definitely do look better.

Just installed one of those in my kids room about 3 months ago. Picture looks good. Not to heavy to hang from a swinging Bracket, which I did to keep itout of the way when they aren't using it. NO complaints so far.

I have an older Westinghouse 32" from 2005. Still going strong.

I had one that would work for about 30 minutes than go distorted. Think it was overheating, make sure this is not the case with this one.

I've had a 42" Westinghouse since June of 2007 and it's still doing just fine.

I've had mine for ~30 months and have been happy with its performance. Far from the best...but more than adequate for my needs. My wife thinks it is the best thing since sliced bread...but she doesn't take much to impress (she did marry me afterall).
