A Harbinger of Things to Come: Westinghouse's LVM-37W1 LCD TV

Figure 4: Jack-pack.
• Yes, the S-Video and composite inputs share the audio.
• And the VGA audio input uses a PC-centric mini-plug instead of RCA plugs.
• You do need a thin screwdriver (or very small hands) to tighten the retaining screws on the VGA and DVI connectors; the price of a thin, wall-mountable profile…
Figure 5: Remote control.
• The remote control is the same that comes with Westinghouse’s LCD TVs. It is not a universal remote but the codes are available to get the display to work with other remotes. (The Harmony 360 supports it just fine.)
• The buttons are clearly labeled but not backlit.
• You have two ways of selecting input ports; through the source-cycling buttons (14) or the direct-mapped buttons (15-19). The DVI and YPbPr buttons toggle between the two ports of each type.
• The center pad ( 7,8 ) lets you navigate the OSD in a straight-forward GUI manner.
• The number pad is mostly redundant but it does let you quick-pick choices on the OSD menus.
