I need some advice. Im thinking of Returning my 32inch Vizio 720p and getting a Westy 37inch 1080p. The thing is i dont know if its worth it. Should i just get a 20-22 inch and save the money for something else? My Rig is the following

Biostar Tforce 965PT 1791 @ Stock Voltage
C2d E6300 @ 3.14 Stock Vcore/ Stock Intel Cooler
2GB OCZ Platinum XTC PC2-6400 @ 900MHZ (5-5-5-15) @ 2.1v
EVGA 8800GTS 640mb @ 621/2000
Maxtor 350GB 16mb cach 7200rpm HD IDE
Corsair HX520 520W PSU

the westy 37 is the best price/performance out there.. i have one and i was very impressed by it.

if you play a lot of games and watch movies i highly recommend it..

however, if you are more into graphic design / photoshop / 3d applications, etc I would recommend a 3007 or dual 20-24" setup for all the workspace.

I own the Westinghouse 32w6 and love it. I purchased it last May for around $850 after tax. The screen resolution 1360x768 is perfect for me. I use the screen as my computer monitor and also watching DVDs, HD recordings, and HDTV. It's great to be able to switch with a press of a button between PC and HDTV. I chose the 32w6 over the 37w3 because of price and the look of the bezel. I wish Westinghouse had kept the bezel the same for all their models.

What are you waiting for?

Getting it with dead pixels and damaged during shipment :(


Then your not going to buy any LCD monitor correct?
This can happen to any monitor you buy.

Just get the extended warranty like 99% of westy owners do.

Not really, i can always buy it locally and just exchange it till it has none. How good is the warranty though?

I got the 5 year in house warranty for less than what the place was charging for the 3 year.
100% in home, no shipping.

Covers everything, and includes cleaning I think once a year if you want.

I'm not sure what the dead pixel policy was, I had no problems with any pixels so.

And I talked them into free 2nd day shipping, and getting the 5 year warranty for less than the 3 year.

Keeps pushing me away at this point. Probably gonna pass on the westy as the only places that have it for 1k are online. Rather get it locally so i can return and get another if i have problems or dead pixels.

Most people got it online without any issues. Go check out the giant Westy 37" thread I made over in the display forum at HardOCP if you want a lot of testimonials. Personally I'd never opt for a 20-22 in just because of the fear of getting a dead pixel.
