Westy 37inch Or Something Else?

[Jules]

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
VIZIO VX32L HDTV

Dont have a Case ATM

I've got the 37" Westy and it's totally worth it.

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.

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.

from what place is this from? Dead Pixels also?

plasmabay.com

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.

Best option is to purchase it from Best Buy during a sale week.

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.

What don't you like about the Vizio?

To low of a Rez. its 1366 x 768. The westy is 1920 x 1080. Im thinking of just getting a 20-22inch and saving the cash

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.
