    Bought a 40" tv made by Westinghouse in February of 2015 and the tv went out within 6 months. Had to mail tv back at my expense which was 51.00, the tv itself was 200.00. I was told by customer service that a replacement will be mail or something comparable only to receive an email stating that no replacement was available with the same spec and a refund will be issue for the amount paid minus the tax minus the shipping within 4 to 8 weeks. It's been right at 2 months, wondering if I will get my refund. Their word might be as good as their tv's... NO GOOD!!! Never again will I buy a tv nor product from this company nor do I recommend. :-(

    I bought my Westinghouse television January 2014. All was well until November 14, 2015 when all of a sudden the picture just went OUT. I have sound but NO PICTURE! This is a television. Come on Westinghouse, televisions are meant to be SEEN as well as heard! I've read the other reviews, so you must be aware of this problem. A television should last longer than 1-2 years. I will NOT buy Westinghouse anything anymore!

    I purchased a Westinghouse TV in November of 2014. It went completely out in September of 2015. I also purchased the warranty, which proved to be of no use. I was told I had to ship TV back to manufacturer at my own expense, which would have cost me almost $200 with packaging and insurance. CRAZY! I only paid a little over $300 for the TV during what I thought was a good sale at Target. I would not recommend this brand to anyone! The customer service was horrible. I felt the least they could have done was sent out a box to return the TV in. Needless to say I am without a TV for the time being.

    We purchased this TV several years ago because the TV that we had then was beginning to show signs of failure. We saw this one advertised on QVC while flipping through channels. When I looked closely, it looked decent enough, so we purchased it. Six easy payments was a good deal. This is a Westinghouse 32" LCD HD TV with 720p resolution. My eyes were getting bad enough that I needed something better than our old tube.

    We have had this TV for well over 7 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. The picture is clear and sharp and the sound is pretty realistic. I have used it with satellite and cable and have been happy with the results. It has a built in DVD player, but that is now having trouble reading the disc, so I just use my Blu-ray player that I have attached to it. I currently have cable and have my Blu-ray player as well as a Roku device connected. The TV has only two HDMI ports and no USB port which is the main downside of this TV. Overall, it is a decent TV that can be used in a kid's room or as a second TV in a bedroom. We will keep this TV until it falls apart because it works and works well. I would recommend Westinghouse to anyone who is interested in a first time HD TV.

    I'm just writing a general review on my Westinghouse 39" TV. In summary, it's a piece of junk and has been since day one. Poor picture quality and just recently it started producing this ear piercing sound that makes it impossible to watch. I have had this TV for about 3 years and have literally turned it on less than a couple of dozen times - I rarely watch TV - so this should not be happening. I wish I would have done more research before buying this TV. I was just wanting a basic, inexpensive TV for the few times that I want to watch something, but this was a waste of my money.

    My husband has been trying to reach a real person at Westinghouse and has to leave a message every time as they are either busy or away from their desks. Ok, I get that. But when they call back he is always gone. Here is the conversation; "May I please speak to Jim", I say. NO. They do not leave a message, they just hang up. So today the lady's response was in a very rude tone. "Well, could you tell him he keeps calling us and leaving a message and when we call back you refuse to let us talk to him", and she hangs up.

    So I always feel I do not have to tell people why they can't speak to anyone in my family after I say "No", where they are or what they are doing is their business. But had they given me a number and name for him to call back I would have written it down and given it to the proper person. Yes, I went over the 200 recommended number of characters here but I am so angry. Does Westinghouse customer service need to know if someone is in the bathroom? Or if they are at the doctor's office? Or having sex at the moment? Pretty sure those are all private and personal. So a simple "no" seems appropriate to me. After today's call I think I can see why Westinghouse has a poor rating.

Just went to try and use the TV and the screen will not turn on. After messing with it for several hours it turned on briefly. I turned it back off, and it won’t turn on again.

    I received a Westinghouse TV as a gift in November of last year (2014). In May of this year, the screen froze and then died. I had audio but no video. I tried all the basic troubleshooting techniques with no success. I called Westinghouse customer service and they walked me through the very same troubleshooting techniques after which it was determined that "the TV is indeed defective." I was then told that because it was given to me as a gift, the warranty is void! Are you kidding me? Yes, I am extremely unhappy and will never purchase product from Westinghouse again.

    I purchased this TV 18 months ago as a Christmas gift. My grandson who is 22 yrs. old basically used it for watching TV (obviously) and playing his PS4 on it. The TV white screened on him. I called Westinghouse, spoke with a representative, she ran a diagnostic test on it which didn't help at all. I was then informed the TV was only warrantied for 1 year and I could take it to a tv repair person and they may be able to help, at my expense. If you are considering buying a Westinghouse TV no matter what size, do yourself a favor and think twice and consider another company. It will be well worth your time to research other companies.

    I purchased the TV last Nov 2014. I was going to move so I left it in the box (unopened). I installed it at my new home and it worked about 10 hours and it suddenly went blank as if power had been shut off. I checked the power outlet and it was fine. My conversations with Westinghouse Customer Service has been totally useless. I was first told to take it to a repair place and after five days, they said they were told by Westinghouse that they would not cover it.

    I called back and was told that the gentleman I talked with had recorded it as out of warranty and that it had been damaged, a complete fabrication on their end. I recalled them and they now say I have to have the original receipt and it has to have the serial number on it. That info is not on the information I have received from the credit card company. I also had trouble even hearing the person because it sounded like there were a number of people in the same room and you could hear all of them. I am done ever buying anything from Westinghouse, now or ever again - and I sell appliances and will do my best to talk people out of their product.

    We bought a TV at Target during Black Friday sales 2 yrs ago. The TV worked fine up until the last two weeks, as it has become difficult to deal with. We only shut off the power on the TV box, which allowed the TV to remain on at all times minus the actual TV picture because it WAS SO DIFFICULT TO TURN ON/OFF. We made the mistake of using the "sleep" option and the TV shut off. Now we can not do anything with it and it is just sitting on the stand for decoration.

    I tried calling customer service only to be told it is not their issue as it has been more than 1 yr since we purchased it. They asked if we purchased an extended warranty from the store we purchased it from. My response "Why would I think twice about buying an extended warranty on a brand new item? Clearly we were confident in the purchase of the quality and reliability of the company." Joke is on us -- the company is a scam. I asked if there was anything the company itself could to do back up THEIR POORLY MADE PROTECT. The answer - no.

    Buyer's beware: Never, ever purchase a TV (or any item for that matter) from that company. I find it appalling they try and place responsibility on target if the TV has any issues.. Target did not make the TV, they only sell it. Shame on Westinghouse... quick to take your $$$$ and have the last laugh when you're out of both money and a functioning TV.

    We bought a 50" LED TV at Target. Within a couple of months the TV quit turning on. Went to Target and they said we had to work it out with Westinghouse. After no less than 5 different conversations, Westinghouse said we had to send it back in the original box at our cost. The cost was over $150.00 to return. We refused to do this so ended up filling a complaint with the BBB. The bureau was able to get Westinghouse to agree to pay for return shipping. It took about a month to get another TV back.

    We've had it now for a little less than a year and the sound is starting to act up. When we switch channels the sound goes off. We have to turn the TV off and then back on to get the sound to come back on. I would avoid the Westinghouse line like the plague. Horrible customer service and sub-standard product.

    Purchased TV at Target on 9/14. After a couple of months, a wide white stripe appeared about the middle of screen. Tried to contact Westinghouse on their 800 number on warranty info. but it just remains on hold until time is up (what a joke). Left a message, and after weeks and weeks, no response. TV then developed a large section on the far right of screen which is red and about 1/3 of the screen. Sent an email recently with a supposed 48 hr response time and that came and went days and days ago. I understand Target is aware of the problems also. In turn, I will never shop again and Target for selling a non inferior product and never again purchase anything else with a Westinghouse logo or affiliation. Too bad as Westinghouse heritage of being a pioneering great AMERICAN company has turned to a scam.

    My mother was in an assisted living facility and I bought her a Westinghouse flat screen TV the day after Thanksgiving, to be given to her as a Christmas gift. So the TV wasn't even used until almost January. Immediately we started getting 'fuzzy' reception, which we assumed was the cable carrier. Numerous visits and calls with them were not able to identify the issue as their connection. Finally called in a television expert who said there was a connection INSIDE the TV that is very small and soldered in, that evidently had not been well attached, hence the fuzzy screen issue from the onset. He suggested we take it back to where we purchased it (KMart). They said it was over 30 days since the purchase so we had to go to Westinghouse. (And we HAD filled out the warranty card.)

    Anyhow, after explaining the situation we were told that WE had to pack up the TV in the original box (which of course, was thrown out by the assisted living facility after the TV was mounted) and mail it at our expense to their repair factory. We were also advised if there was any sign of damage or marring, they would not replace the TV. The TV was purchased on sale for appx. $300.... the shipping for that size TV and weight in the packer's box was going to be almost $100, and we had NO guarantee that we would get a replacement after less than two months of use, and a record of calls with the cable company and the TV repair company? Really??? For an 80 year old person on SS?

    I then went online and found out there are NUMEROUS reports of the same kind of problem, and with very dissatisfied customers like us. I wanted to 'buy American' but I can tell you this, we will be replacing THIS television and NEVER buy even a small appliance from Westinghouse again!

It worked great for 6 months and then as I was watching my show the television went black on me and I could never get it to work again, it is a Westinghouse and to me Westinghouse was the top of the line product, as made (so I THOUGHT). This is so unfair to the customer's because I have a disability that makes it hard for me to get out of bed for days and this is my only contact with staring at the ceiling or staring at my Westinghouse television praying it would work.

    I bought a 50" from Target, in August 2013. In September 2013 screen developed green lines, 29 e-mails to Westinghouse, who claimed this TV arrived damaged which is not possible, since packed in its original package. (Pictures were sent to Westinghouse and the agencies listed all at my expense) A $209.00 fee for shipment from FedEx, complaints to the bbb, Consumers Affairs, the FTC, and a $80.00 small claims court filing netted me. No TV, & no refund. This TV was under warranty til 1/15/2015. Cases were closed with little or no actions taken against Westinghouse.

    Updated 9/26/2015 - There has been no results from the three companies named above. Except I am still out more than 600.00 for an honest purchase. No one has held any of them responsible for my loss.

They were very nice and supplied me with a packing label, but I didn't have a box, so it took me months to find one. I shipped it off. Weeks went by and no one contacted me, so I called and they said oh, we are going to send you a replacement. I guess they wasn't going to unless I called.

    I bought a Westinghouse LED TV from Target just over 2 years ago. About 6 weeks ago, the TV would no longer turn on. I changed batteries believing it was the remote. That did not help. The TV will not turn on - no matter what I do. The TV has never been bumped or damaged in any way. I still have the original box it came in. I contacted both Westinghouse and Target - neither company wants to step up and take responsibility for this issue. Westinghouse asked for all the pertinent information, model number, serial number, when purchased, etc. I provided them with all the requested information, except the original receipt as it was 2 years ago and I no longer have it. However, I gave them a copy of the credit card statement from Target. Nothing was accepted or good enough for them. I have received several emails basically saying, "Thank you for contacting us, but there is nothing we can do."

    Westinghouse used to be known as a reputable company - but obviously from all the complaints posted regarding their TVs - they are no longer a reputable company. I will never purchase anything built by Westinghouse again as all they do is rip off the consumer and laugh all the way to their bank accounts. Model number: EW32S5KW. Serial No: 7052M24300096.

    On various occasions now I have tried to relax and sit to watch some TV, much to my dismay this stupid TV turns on but the screen is black as if it were off. Very disappointed in the quality of the TV which I have only had for 3 months. I have fixed it temporarily a few times but this is a reoccurring problem. The only reason I can make it work for a couple days is because a website said that I had to unplug the TV from the ac outlet in the back and hold the power button for ten seconds and then wait a minute to see if it functions properly. Sometimes this works immediately, other times it doesn't. Horrible electronic item and also cannot seem to find a way to permanently fix it. Very angry.

    Westinghouse 46" LED TV model LD4655VX - Worked well for around two years when one of the ribbons for the LED light bars shorted out, which seems to be a big problem with this model set. There are many bad reviews of this problem. I was able to fix mine for now, hope it keeps working! The ribbon wire has a sticky back side to affix it to the frame of the TV, which causes it to rap too tight around the LED light bar and short out at different time intervals of the life of the TV. Some people get years some get months? Westinghouse must know they have a problem with this but won't help at all. If you're outside the 1 year warranty period they won't help you!

It arrived at your facility on August 1. It took three phone calls by the Costco Concierge to determine the estimated return date of my repaired television. Today I received a refurbished TV that was manufactured in 2012, a full year older. It is a completely different television than the one I returned. It is much thicker and MUCH heavier. It had no documentation, no cables, nothing but the remote in the box. There was one small label on the end of the inner packaging that indicated a model number. When I went to your website, I found no information on the model number that appeared on the box; the item has clearly been discontinued. I am awaiting the assistance of Costco's Concierge service to inform you that I will be returning the television and expect a refund of my full purchase price.

    The faulty device is bad enough, but quality control errors occur. However, the terrible customer service is inexcusable. Attached you will find a pdf of the receipt for the TV. The full amount due to me, including sales tax, is $379.74. Please forward a refund within the next 6 weeks. Failure to do so will result in further action against your company."

    I bought a Westinghouse 32" black Friday special from Target. Worked great for less than 6 months. While watching it for half an hour or so, it will all the sudden do a Poltergeist thing, loud static sound and white snow picture. I can turn the TV off but then I can not turn it back on. I called the customer service department and they wanted me to send a video of the problem. I did and now I can't get a call back or any help from customer service. Never again will I buy a Westinghouse product. Their products are terribly cheap and customer service is even worse.

    Or will they per a previous post, and I'm out another $150.00. Boards are available for less than the shipping cost. I think enough spent. Learned my lesson as far as Westinghouse goes.

    I purchased the Westinghouse 46" HDTV on Black Friday special. Too good to be true. TV worked fine for about 9 months. One day I turned it on and the blue light came on but no picture and no sound. Tried to turn it off. NOTHING! Had to unplug it to shut it off. Turned power back on, red light lit. Neither remote nor power button on tv make the thing work. Blue light comes on... Nobody's home!

    After trying the "kill the power, turn it on" about 30 times, the tv finally came on. Made the mistake of shutting it off when I was done watching. BIG MISTAKE. Now, after about 50 tries, I still get the blue light but nothing else. DON'T buy this crap, it's wasted money. As another consumer stated, I have a very expensive paperweight in my living room that will cost me money to both replace and discard! Shame on you, Westinghouse! I've wasted enough time and money. At this point, I'm not going to bother wasting any more trying to get a remedy from these people.

    Bought this TV on sale at Target. Salesman told me it was on sale because Westinghouse was just closing out this particular model. I said " I am hesitant to buy this because when something looks too good to be true, it probably is". Salesman said no, this TV is great we have had no complaints. He told me they had had complaints about the 50" TV's. I said "Then you can guarantee me that this TV is not going to die or blow up within six months?" He laughed and said "no, it is a great TV, I promise." I really hemmed and hawed about it for quite a while and then decided, since I am low income and cannot afford a $500 TV, I will try this. After all, if it breaks down, all I have to do is call Westinghouse and they will fix it, according to the salesman. Well, as you can guess, I have had this TV for 10 days and it started getting those scratchy lines running through it. It turned itself on after I had shut if off.

    Then yesterday, I started getting the on and off problems with the white snowy screen and all the lines. It kept going black with a notice in the middle that it was not receiving a signal - "No Signal". I called Comcast to see if it was their end and they were very helpful and we found out it was not their signal because I re-hooked up my old TV and it worked perfect. So I came to this website to see what the complaints may be and I am just sick to my stomach after reading all of these horror stories about Westinghouse. I have no hopes of getting this TV fixed or getting my money back. I am a senior citizen on a very low income. I saved up to get this TV and now I have thrown my money away on this piece of junk. Sure wish I had read these letters of complaint BEFORE I purchased this TV. So Buyer beware......if it looks like too good of a deal....it most surely is!!!!

    First let me start by saying I didn't even want to leave a one star review because this company is unworthy of any stars. We purchased a Westinghouse Digital on Cyber Monday 2012 on Target.com. The TV was great for the first few weeks. Then we had issues with blue lines floating across the entire screen, right along the ticker at the bottom. We went to a local Target store where the manager recommended we speak with the manufacturer - so we did. In the beginning, the CSRs were helpful, or so we thought. They were willing to 'help' us, as long as we had a credit card - which we do not and then the end of dealing with us started.

    Problems we have faced since include:

    1. Unanswered emails. We were asked to send a picture of the problem with the TV, so I did. Three different times, because they said they did not receive our emails. Third times a charm because they finally received the email with the picture.

    2. Run-around with CSRs. First the CSR manager is away from his desk at the customer service number. So we call the corporate number within 30 seconds of disconnecting to speak with their legal counsel or the CSR manager, only to find out that CSR mgr is gone for the day. WOW! He scooted out of the office quickly. So receptionist places me on hold while she attempts to track down their legal counsel. Oops! He's not available to take a call. Okay, give me his voicemail… again. WOW! Imagine my surprise when she connects me to his voicemail and the mailbox is full and I am automatically disconnected.

    3. Repeat calls, emails and voicemails are sent on my end but they have no record of these.

    4. The warranty WAS in full effect when this fiasco began… but because of now it has gone on for so long the warranty has expired.

    5. As I said in the beginning WD was helpful. Only to go as far as to say, they faked sympathy. IMHO they faked it. All the run around, obvious lies and hiding behind voicemails and unreturned messages is frustrating. When I called the corporate offices the first time, I was told the three top people (CEO, CFO and one other) were no longer with the company. Really? I just can't imagine why.

    After calls and emails (last year when the TV was still under warranty) they issued us a FedEx shipping label. Their claim to going above and beyond helping us. Okay, granted I will give them a point there. Then the credit card came into play. They needed a credit card number to reserve a TV for us. Really? Why is that? *sigh* Then that's when all break down officially began. I'm sorry we do not have credit cards. Oh, they said. From that moment on, the response has been fruitless and full of scripted answers, ridiculous conversations, etc.

    We contacted Target to inform them that they are selling products that aren't worth the time and effort to sell and how the manufacturer is not upholding their warranty guarantee. Target has opened a case file for us to investigate. We paid good money for this TV and now we have none. We did everything we could have to remedy this problem but never got anywhere. It's very difficult to handle a situation and rectify a problem when only one side is willing to work at it.

The cable box plugged into the power strip was fine. We called Westinghouse and were told to submit the online form and wait. Good thing we kept our 15 year old TV because that's what we're watching now. There will not be any Westinghouse products in our future, ever.

    Purchased a Westinghouse LED TV, within 2 months LEDs started to burn out and a black line was working its way up the right side of the TV. The unit was under warranty and it took 4 weeks to get a return authorization, which did not include shipping costs. They do not have repair centers on the east coast, so we had to pay $99 to ship the unit to the west coast. 4 weeks later, they sent a refurbished unit, which I asked them not to do. The unit arrived defective - the screen was half black and half gray, plus it had the same LED defect black line going up the right side of the screen.

    This time, they are paying for the return shipping. However, they refuse to send a new replacement unit, they plan to send another refurbished unit. This is horrific quality and customer service.

No Email Back or Call from them at all even when I tried to communicate with them in the beginning when they were gladly replying through emails. I am constantly worried that they will forget about my tv and will never contact me back. I am sure a company like Sony or maybe even LG have better customer service (Never Tried) but this is just the lowest of the lowest. I will never purchase a Westinghouse product again let alone a television, in the case that they take longer than 2 months. I might try to contact an attorney and open a case against them.

    I work on electronics professionally. To keep it plain and simple, I bought a Westinghouse TV brand new at Best Buy in Rockwall, Texas. After 10 months hanging in the same place, never moved an on an APC surge and battery backup, the volume would go out and come back on with the PACE CableTV box. I was throw off track simply because I'd flip the Cable box off and back on. That worked the first couple times so I thought it was the cable box. After 6 -7 times of the cable co. doing a reset, the vol would come back on. Then they replaced the cable box, Cable Co, thinking there was a prob, and after a few months the Cable Co, had to do a couple more resets and the volume would fix.

    I did have a scramble screen once and cable fixed it. It's been 6 months of this. Now it's doing it with the Apple TV. They only have IOS updates. Since it might still be under warranty, I'm not pulling it apart, but needless to say, Westinghouse TV went out of business once for a good reason. Maybe that needs to happen again. I know they were the first TV ever made, but the people who originally created TV are not there anymore and their hardware IC division, leg, branch, whatever they're calling it in China, needs to look at their QAQC.

    After the nightmare of what I considered an initial crippled customer service process: The RMA services, claims services, and tech support all share one phone number and there is one route to get to all of them, and that route is often backed up (on a long hold queue that did intermittently drop the call from the queue), I did receive a call back the next day (Wed Sep 18) after using a web support form tool. I made several inquiries in several places. The gentleman's name was Corey and he offered a direct phone number to reach him if I needed to. He was very helpful.

    On this phone call back, I did have to verify that the RMA center (again not at the same location as tech support and customer service), had received my broken TV by me supplying my FedEx tracking number. They hadn't yet in their tracking system, but I had my signature confirmation, so I am glad I opted for that when shipping them my old, broken TV. So Corey said they'd recently received a batch of refurbished TVs that are the same size as mine, and matching specifications, and that one would be available to be shipped to me within a couple of days. On Friday Sep 20 I received an email without asking for one that contained a FedEx tracking number for my replacement RMA TV. So that was very nice.

    The shipment arrived today (Thurs Sep 26), so this is very timely. Nice. The replacement TV is technologically comparable. It has the same features and size. This is great. Finally, since it is a refurbished model, it had been programmed for cable TV channels before. I contacted customer service one more time to get assistance on resetting the channel listings with a new scan. Kenya there assisted me; the tech support was good (once I got through after the hold time). So, all in all, getting in touch with them is hard at first, but they have followed through on their promise and the RMA process worked.

    I am very happy with the outcome. Although I had some anxiety about the customer service, after seeing the other reviews on this site, and the internet, and some initial frustration with getting connected with the helpful and actually concerned customer service representatives (rather than just answering the phone without any other apparent ability to follow through). My previous fears of never seeing my TV again was also certainly influenced by nightmare stories found on the internet, this site (again), and their poor Better Business rating. However, they can take care of you.

    Similar song and dance. Purchased black Friday TV 11/23/2012. No longer turns on. Customer service 1-800-701-0680 says I can RMA and give me an RMA number and directions to ship it to Chino, CA, WD Repair Center, Attention: Vidal, 12246 Colony Ave, Chino, CA 91710. I've shipped, and FedEx says it's been received. Now when when I call back to customer service, I can not get any answer on the status of the RMA, or what I should do next. All I get is "Give us your name, phone number, your email address, and we'll make sure someone from claims calls you back as soon as possible."

    I have been hung up on twice today automatically by a faulty phone system that drops my line when I'm in the queue (presume moving from position 1 to the next available representative), and once by a live person when I adamantly asked for the RMA or claims direct phone number to the Chino facility. However, I was told by their corporate headquarters number 714-221-9800 that I can't reach claims nor RMA directly because they don't have phone numbers for those departments, but that they all use the same customer service phone number (the 800-701-0680 one).

    No one can give me an update on my claim, nor seems to know how to, nor whom, to reach. I think they're just stealing my dead TV and have no intention of repairing it properly. I'm afraid I'll never see it again, and I'm getting ripped off and losing money. If there is a class action lawsuit against Westinghouse, I want to be a part of it. In the mean time, should we all make a consumer complaint with the California DOJ?

    Got a 39'' LED TV four months ago that started making a high-pitched sound three weeks ago. Filed a case through their website, and they were quick to ask me for a proof-of-purchase, and to tell me how to get my TV shipped to their technical support facilities. Not glad to have to pay for the shipping, but so far that's acceptable.

    After they received my TV (I only know that because of the tracking number that I provided), I completely lost track of my case, as:

    * The web page does not provide case tracking. Instead, they ask for your name and number to call you back for an update. But that's just a trick: they do not have any SLA (at least visible), so you can't be sure when they will call you back. It's been three days since I left a request and haven't heard back from them yet.

    * They do not reply to emails. They aren't even able to track case emails by themselves. When they asked me for my POP, they asked me to include the case number on my reply. I later wrote them to know what was the status of my case, and never got a reply back.

    * Customer care line is useless: whatever you ask them, all they tell you is "we'll pass the message and they'll call you back". There's no SLA here either. It's been 48 hours since my first call and still haven't heard back. But the worst is they don't have access to absolutely any information on you case, not even your name or phone. When they tell you "we'll call you back", they ask you for your full name and phone number, and they ask you to spell your name, which obviously means they are not asking the information to confirm who you are, but instead because they know nothing.

    Save yourself the hassle: don't buy anything from these guys. I know I won't, and will actively advice people not to do it either. (Were I able to give a negative score, I would.)

    My 46 inch LED TV lost power today. I checked batteries, sleep mode and changed power cord and called customer service. I was on hold for 45 minutes. Never talked to an attendant. I hung up and called a friend who own a television store and he also repairs televisions. I told him I own a Westinghouse and before I told him what was wrong with it, he said he bet my power went out. He told me it would never get taken care of through Westinghouse and that I needed to shop for a new television. I then got on this site and saw all these people who have the same issues. I'm not going to get frustrated by trying to get the company to be nice and help me because it is obvious that they won't. I still have a tube TV from the 80's that works. This is sad.

    I bought a 46" LED TV at Best Buy in 2011. I bought it because the price was good considering LED's were just coming out at that time and it fit into my entertainment center. Not many 46" were able to fit. The other option was an Insignia brand that they were out of. The picture was really good and it was a great TV until it wouldn't turn on about 2 weeks short of having it 2 years. Westinghouse said I could send it to them and they would give me a replacement. I thought this was great because I only had the standard 1 year warranty. However, I'm on the East coast and it costs about $250 to package and ship.

    I decided not to pay half the cost of a new TV to get back an unknown replacement. I think they give people this deal trying to sound nice, but don't get many sent because of the high shipping costs. Ironically, I'm looking for a new TV and the cheaper TV's at stores now are Westinghouse when 2 years ago I bought the only one in the store. I don't understand how they grow while complaints are all over. The bottom line is stay away. They use cheap products and even people under warranty are having trouble.

    Tonight, my husband and I saw a great deal on Walmart.com for a 47-in. Westinghouse LED TV and ordered it for $477.00 including the 3-year warranty. About 30 minutes later, I decided to check reviews for this company and its products and I have to tell you, I was so frightened by what I read I went back to Walmart.com and cancelled the order immediately! The warranty was instantly cancelled but the TV is "still processing".

    Fearing the company would not cancel, I called my bank to block the payment just in case. I am so glad I found this site. I was trying to save a few bucks and can see it's not worth the future trouble. I went ahead and bought a 50" Panasonic from Sears (where I work) for $150.00 more. It's more money but I KNOW that will work. Thank you all for the information.

    I created an account just to post my complaint. I must say I don't know if it's going to do any good based on the plethora of emails already received, Westinghouse is still selling defective TV's and trying to do an old bait and switch. I bought my 50" TV in February. On June 1, the picture simply went out. You can hear it but not see it. I immediately followed up with Westinghouse. The initial phone call went fine. I was given a case number. Two days later, no response. I had to call them to follow up and was told it would probably just need to be reset. No such luck.

    I am being told I have to pay over $100 to ship a defective TV all the way from Georgia to California! I only paid $300 so I am essentially stuck. The company has refused to honor my request for a refund and will not assist me in any way in getting any other resolution. I can't wrap my head around why I have to pay to ship something that is defective. I had my proof of purchase and am well within the one year warranty but I am getting no help. Westinghouse has you on hold for 30 minutes, has the receptionist answer and start the transfers all over again...maddening. The final insult to injury is they sent me an email tonight telling me since they haven't heard from me in 2 days, they are considering my account inactive. Awfully odd considering I just called yesterday...

    The only consolation I can find in my experience with Westinghouse product and customer service is that I'm really not alone. I purchased a 24" television in July of 2012. It has been in my kitchen since then and gets very little use. Two weeks ago, I turned it on to a picture that was unwatchable: vertical and horizontal lines, psychedelic colors, all in slow motion. When I called customer service the first time, it took three tries until I finally got through to a representative as I was disconnected twice. I was told that someone would get back to me within 48 hours.

    Five days later, I called again and thought that I was finally speaking to someone who cared. Again, I gave my information and was told that I would receive an email within 24 hours. I did receive that email but realized that it was auto-generated. It has now been another five days without a response. Judging from the previous reviews, I think I'll just save myself any more time and wasted energy now and toss the thing out. This is the worst experience with a product I have ever had.

    To all who may see this, my name is Jacob **, and I was given a 46" LED TV as a gift that broke soon after purchase. I speak not only for myself, but all the unhappy customers as well. This product has not met standards like the GLP, GMP and other manufacturing laws set aside to enforce production of reliable products. Westinghouse claims their LEDs are longer lasting and better than the LCDs, but my TV broke 1 year and 8 months into owning it. This is not long lasting and not reliable. When I called 8 times, waited over 3 hours on hold and got one 10-minute call from a tech, they told me it might be the adapter, power supply board or the motherboard. But since it is out of warranty, there is nothing they could do. No replaceable parts, no technicians, no actual technical support.

    The BBB is currently dropping Westinghouse and made it non-applicable now because it does not meet common standards. There are over 325+ current complaints and filings on Consumer Affairs. Even Yelp gives Westinghouse a 1.5. What Westinghouse does is take advantage of the general public with low prices, misleading representation of customer service and a good TV. But really, Westinghouse is taking a knockoff, untested remanufactured TV and putting a label on it. This is manufacturing negligence. This is a production of defective goods. This is a fault in design. There are multiple torts that affect the consumer to suffer a loss - whether intentional or not. The manufacturing process and components of the TVs are defective and fail barely after a year of release.

    The consumer (me) has been unfairly manipulated by Westinghouse, which allows no help outside or even inside of warranty. They will just send you someone else's broken TV to close the report. In accordance with the sale of goods, it must meet standards of satisfactory and quality as described. Also lasts for a reasonable length of time. This TV does not meet any of these standards. Therefore there are 3 options: (1) join a class action lawsuit through Consumer Affairs against Westinghouse Digital to expose the fraudulent, faulty merchandise being sold; (2) have a TV repairman fix my TV, take Westinghouse to small claims, then join the class action lawsuit; or (3) try and get a refund.

    Now I live in California, fairly close to Westinghouse Digital corporate office, and am very close to creating a class action lawsuit if one doesn't already exist. Since my location is beneficial, I could act as the representative and go to court against Westinghouse. Please if you are interested, contact me at **. We, as consumers, are being taken advantage of and Westinghouse Digital needs to correct its negligent behavior.

    I purchased two LED TV's from Best Buy last year and am so regretting it. Yes, the prices are amazing, but in the case of this company, the saying is true - you really do get what you pay for. The 46" set I bought had issues at the 6 month mark. I called for service and the service tech took a look at it and said basically I'm out of luck and these TVs aren't meant to last that long and left. Unacceptable. I complained about the service tech and tried to get it repaired again but nothing ever happened. Exactly. One month after the warranty expired, the TV just shut off and died. And now it's a big black piece of pointless plastic in my living room. I tried calling customer service like so many other people and couldn't even get through multiple times, and my most recent call was put on hold for three hours. I waited that long of a time because I wanted them to know how ridiculous and unacceptable this was.

    I finally decided to email anyone at Westinghouse I could find and the next day, I got a call from a support rep saying he was instructed to handle this swiftly. I was happy to hear they actually might care about their customers and their products, but it's been a week and a half since that call and I'm no nearer to resolving this than before. I was told I'd be called within an hour, no call. Definitely tomorrow, no call. They can't help me because managers are in meetings. Emails were promised and never sent. I've followed up with email and was told that the emails were sent and were just probably in my spam folder. No. They were not. I feel like they dangle carrots in front of customers to get them to think they're taken care of and then purposely jerk them around hoping we'll just go away and not bother them anymore. Most horrendous customer service I've ever experienced. I will never ever buy anything Westinghouse makes again in my lifetime. And if you're smart, you'll do the same.

    Also, their Facebook page has been brought back and now does not allow posts by consumers except for comments on their own posts. They're very subtly trying to shut down the very rampant and pervasive unhappiness with their products and company. I was even told the model of TV I bought a year ago is no longer made because of all the issues they had. Wonderful. Keep robbing people, Westinghouse.

    I purchased a 46" LCD TV exactly 13 months ago, model LD-4655VX. I purchased it because I figured the brand has been around long enough to be trustworthy and as a single parent of two children, the price was very appealing. I loved this TV - the size, the picture, the sound, everything. It's great looking, but after 6 months I had issues with discoloration of the screen and weird halo effects. It was resolved by turning the TV off and then on again. While under warranty, I was told it was not an issue and no repair was made. Now the TV just died. The main board is just dead, conveniently just outside of any coverage they offer. After googling to try and find a new board, I have come across hundred and hundreds of reviews and complaints all stating virtually the same thing. There is no way they are not well aware of the fact that these televisions are simply junk and these should all be recalled.

    As an independent business owner, I would never dream of putting my name behind such insanely poor quality merchandise with such a wide array of persistent problems and can't believe Westinghouse does. I don't plan on seeing any effective resolution from them as it seems a pretty unanimous verdict has been reached in terms of what kind of treatment their customer service will provide, but do plan on seeking out as many Westinghouse executives as I can find and emailing them all.
