I recall some discussion of Westinghouse HDTVs but I couldn't find them via search. I'm trying to narrow down some affordable HDTVs for the apartment. The main thing we will be doing on it is playing xbox 360. Right now we probably won't being paying for HD Cable, but it is definitely a possibility in the future. Here are the ones I have been looking at:

The Westinghouse gets good ratings but I'm wondering if people are rating it based on price and not actual performance.

Highly, highly recommend the Westy.
I'd recommend against a Plasma. Also, you can attach an HD ready antenna <50 bucks> to your Westy and watch all your local sporting events in HD over the air. The difference in picture is really amazing, and the over the air HD is free.

the newer versions of the Westinghouses actually have tuners, so you don't even need the external one

Antenna, not tuner. He'll need an antenna to pick up broadcast HD.
I actually saw some on clearance at Best Buy for 20 bucks

meh
i misread that, but either way, there's westinghouse monitors, and westinghouse HDTV's
and both look identical, and are roughly the same price, so make sure you know which you're buying

The Westy is all around awesome except for 1 thing. It sucks with PS3's. I just got a new Bravia and to be honest, aside from the PS3 stuffs I can't tell a difference in quality.
