Westinghouse SK-26H730S

Description: The Westinghouse SK-26H730S is a 26-inch, liquid crystal display television.Compared to other liquid crystal display TVs on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $405.This product has an LCD display, which is generally the best kind of flat-panel screen for viewing in brightly-lit rooms.

Pros: With built-in HDTV compatibility, this unit can display images that are significantly sharper and more realistic than regular television, as long as the source is high definition.(It can easily render standard-resolution digital TV broadcasts and also depict the full resolution of widescreen DVD video.)The 3:2 pulldown feature of this set reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.

Cons: Has only a 26-inch screen size.This is not out of line with the product's price, but is smaller than the average TV on the market today.

Suitability: A liquid crystal display TV, suited for work place applications as well as home entertainment.

Value: Given its very inexpensive price, this TV has great features for the money.In terms of viewable size, liquid crystal display TVs having similar viewable size have an average cost of around $560.
