Westinghouse TX-47F430S 47"Flat Screen Review

I purchased this 47 inch flat screen a few years ago, and for the most part I like how it works. I did add a post for the TV but never wrote a review for it. Early this year I hocked up a BluRay player and I had a few issues with the TV auto detecting the signal. I ended up turning the TV off and back on until it found the signal, actually I had to unplug the set because just turning it off didn't help. Any way the TV always detects the BluRay now and I just figured it was me not reading the directions, However I did move the BluRay over to the HDMI 1 channel connector. I just found some reviews on the web and other people were having the same issue of not detecting the incoming signals [auto-source switching]. Seems to work fine now.

I like the set, the 1080p picture is great but I really just use the set in my office while I'm working on the web site.
So over the last few months the sound has gone out, or slowed down ~ like putting your finger on an LP to slow the sound down. Again I have to unplug the set to get it to reset. I canceled cable a few months ago so I use a Terk antenna to watch TV, or just use a DVD. I only just started over-the-air TV a few months ago and that's when the issue started. I have to assume that when the TV starts to lose the signal it gets a bit confused.

I purchased this HDTV in 2008 but it looks like they still sell it so the review is still valid. Maybe they have fixed these issues by now, but the TV has only done this stuff a few times.
