Anyone have any info on the Westinghouse LVM-37w3???

[baller760]

I want to get a 1080p television and it seems Westinghouse's new 37'' tv for 2006 is just the ticket for me. However, I don't know much about it other than there is a quicker response time from 12ms to 8ms and it has many more inputs over the w1. What do you guys know about it and when is it supposed to come out? The 42w2 is already in stores but that is a little out of my price range and too large for my room. Anyone know when it's coming out and the MSRP????

No one?

I currently have the LVM-37w1 and am wondering if the 37w3 offers any significant improvements over the the current model. Clearly the 8ms response time and HDMI are upgrades. However, the published contrast ratio and almost all other specs appear the same. As I've said, I'm happy with my 37w1 other than moderate corner bleeding. Does anyone know when the 37w3 is due out? Is it worth returning my mine and getting the w3?

I'd like to know where you guys are getting this info from.
I checked the Westinghouse site press releases and found nothing on this model.

The new 1080p LVM-37w3 is not on Westinghouse's website yet, but a couple of stores have early (limited) info on it. I had reposted some of the info/links in this thread (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=655280).

sorry...didnt mean to be rude.

Seems there was the same issue with the 37" and 42" plasmas. The 37" just wasn't cheaper enough to warrant buying it.
