CNET Editors' Take

CNET did not review the Westinghouse TX-42F430S, but we did review a larger model in the series.

Review: Although CNET did not review the 42-inch Westinghouse TX-42F430S, we did review the 47-inch Westinghouse TX-47F430S. Judging from their spec sheets, the two Westinghouse flat-panel LCD HDTVs are essentially identical but for screen size, so we expect the picture quality of the 47-inch model to provide a good indication of how the 42-incher will perform. For more information, check out the full review of the Westinghouse TX-47F430S. For additional details on Westinghouse's lineup of flat-panel LCD TVs, check out our roundup.

"Great LCD 1080p monitor for the price with flawed ATSC/QAM digital audio output" By jfreuler

Pros Wide view LCD screen, 1080p, 4 HDMI/HDCP inputs

Cons Built-in ATSC/ClearQAM tuner does not output the full digital 5.1 bitstream to the SPDIF optical output, only stereo

Summary I just purchased the TX-42F430S and so far it's high def video output is excellent even at close range. The HDMI inputs support HD 1080p from my computer's DVI output.

The internal NTSC/ATSC/ClearQAM tuner works OK for over the air broadcasts with one big audio issue
