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.
