Westinghouse 46" 1080p 120Hz LED-LCD HDTV DW46F1Y1
Westinghouse 46" 1080p 120Hz LED-LCD HDTV DW46F1Y1

Pros: worked for a bit

Cons: Let's see, where do i start. The tv stank of toxic plastic as soon as i took it out of the box. There was no stereo sound; just mono. I called Westinghouse tech support and they had an extremely rude woman who couldn't speak English properly and who kept saying 'aks' instead of ask. I decided to keep the tv, didn't want to bother dragging the 46" set to the post office. Bought a stereo system to get a stereo-like sound out of the the tv. It took about a half a year to air out the toxic smell emitting out of the set. Now, about 14 months later, the tv stopped working completely. It won't even turn on. Contacted Westinghouse customer service and they said that the warranty has expired. I looked this set up online (which i should've before i purchased it) and every customer that has bought it has had problems with it. It's not worth repairing the set now; the main board costs $150. Westinghouse manufactures these boards in China and apparently the engineer they hired doesn't know how to properly calculate a board. Either the resistors or capacitors or some other electronic component(s) have been sized improperly. This causes the burnout of the set. Why would i want to purchase another board that will burn out eventually? The electronic components on the main board are very tiny and impossible to repair. I have electrical experience and know how to solder and troubleshoot components. This board is not fixable and if you purchase a new one it will burn out in a year or so, plus or minus a few months. Check out all the reviews online for this set and you'll see that it's a lemon. Westinghouse is screwing its customers. I will never buy another electronic device from them. Heed my warning.

Pros: worked great for the first 8 months

Cons: doesn't work anymore. i plugged it into the usb drives of two different computers and the Toshiba just doesn't register. the light on the drive flashes but it doesn't show up on the desktop. all my data is lost! it's not like i just pulled it out of the computer without unsyncing it first. will never buy another product by Toshiba.
