Obviously, Westinghouse chose to make the above sacrifices in order to offer this 42-inch 1080p LCD for the low price of $2,799. Just be glad they chose to sacrifice peripheral features and not the necessary staples to produce a higher-quality image, like an adjustable backlight and 3:2-pulldown detection. Although the display’s internal processor didn’t pick up the 3:2 film sequence on Video Essentials, it did pick it up on the Silicon Optix HQV Benchmark test disc and did an excellent job with my demo scenes from Gladiator and The Bourne Identity. Likewise, it did a poor job with video-based signals on the test discs but looked more than respectable with real-world video-based signals.
