Just in time for the holidays, Westinghouse has come out with a 42-inch high-def LCD, coming in at a hair under 1500 dollars. The W4207 features a 1600:1 contrast ratio, 16:9 aspect ratio, 178-degree viewing angle (both horizontal and vertical), and connectors galore, including HDMI, VGA, component, S-video, and DVI. But at $1,499 there are some sacrifices to be made, namely that it does not come with any integrated tuners (you'll need a cable or satellite box), and it only supports up to 720p. But it's not like most of us can tell the difference between that and 1080p anyway--and certainly not dad, should you be eyeing this as a gift.
