CNET Review
The Good: Somewhat inexpensive; built-in DVD player integrated nicely; display produces a relatively deep shade of black; accurate primary colors and color temperature; adequate picture controls.
The Bad: Limited connectivity with just two HDMI and one component video input; some screen uniformity issues; darker areas tend toward reddish and brighter areas toward blue even after calibration; subpar remote control.
The Bottom Line: Perfectly acceptable image quality and a well-integrated DVD player make the Westinghouse VK-40F580D a solid choice for people going the combo route.
