With the Westinghouse, you must have gotten a bad unit. I've had mine for about 4 months now and it's perfect from the P to the T. I have the 1.16 version and I'm waiting on the new program to take care of the power problem, but it's not that big of a deal anyway. The picture quality is great, you probably know already. If I were you and I wasn't in a time crunch, I'd do some research for a while and come to a good decision. Hey, the longer you wait, the newer the technology. And the models already out will come down in price. Good luck whatever you choose.
