About the Westinghouse LTV-27w6


If the picture on your old tube TV looks faded and fuzzy, step into the 21st century with the Westinghouse LTV-27w6 flat-panel HDTV. Its 27" screen displays bright, high-definition pictures with vibrant colors. The widescreen design is ideally suited to HD programs and DVD movies.
The built-in tuner receives both standard (analog) and digital over-the-air broadcasts from your local stations. You can keep enjoying non-digital programs the same as always, but you'll really be knocked out by the snow- and ghost-free images that digital broadcasts provide.
The LTV-27w6 is a smart choice for a small home theater and makes a fantastic bedroom TV. Its stylishly thin, lightweight cabinet allows it to fit in many spaces where tube TVs never could even some kitchen counters. Also, the TV's base removes easily for wall-mounting.
The generous set of inputs includes composite, S-video, and component video jacks, as well as both DVI and HDMI digital video inputs for use with the latest satellite HD receivers and "upconverting" DVD players. This versatile set also has a standard PC input so it can pull double duty as a computer monitor.
