So far so good, but....
Pros:
Picture Quality.Sound is acceptable. The menu is easy to navigate.
Cons:
DVD player does not resume Reliability remains to be seen. Channel setup is quirky.
The Bottom Line:
I would not recommend this TV to anyone. The DVD player is almost useless if it doesn't resume. My experience with Westinghouse Digital support wasn't good.

Author's Review
I bought a SK-26H590D refurbished from Buy.com on 11/29/08. I used it for a week, and then the TV display became garbled and the TV wouldn't respond to any buttons. I had to unplug it. I tried it again and it worked for 4 minutes and then the same thing happened. So, I called Westinghouse support, and they said I would have to send the unit back *at my expense*.
It took two months to get a replacement TV. On the plus side, the unit they sent is a SK-32H590D (I assume because they didn't have any 26 inch refurbished sets available). Now I noticed that the DVD player doesn't resume. According to the user's manual, when the stop button is pressed once, and then the play button is pressed, the DVD player will resume. This does not happen. The manual also states that if the stop button is pressed twice, the resume point will clear.
I thought it might be a firmware update, but I cannot get to the firmware updates page. After I enter my serial number, the web page states that the serial number I entered does not match their records, even though I registered the serial. (Westinghouse support later informed me that this means that there is no firmware updates for the serial number entered - what's up with that?) They were quick to send me an e-mail promoting an extended warranty though.
Given the experience I had with the reliability of the 26" model and reviews of the 32" , I'm thinking this might be a good idea.
I would not recommend this TV to anyone, at least those I wanted to remain my friends.
