Westinghouse wanted to be seen at the 2009 CES.  They introduced a huge line of “affordable” LCD HDTVs and computer monitors at the show.  Leading the pack was the new TX line of HDTVs.  Available in 37”, 42”, and 55” sizes, the TX line has a 120Hz refresh rate with full 1080p.  The 55” model will be available in May 2009 with the smaller models rolling out before July.  Westinghouse promises they will be affordable, but refused to set a price at CES so the jury is still out. 

Besides the featured TX line, there was the SK line of 720p HDTVs and HDTV/DVD combos, new 16:9 PC monitors, and 19” and 22” portable HDTV models.  I’m not entirely sure how a 22” TV is classified as portable, but Westinghouse can prove it to me when they release in March.  Like the TX line, all of the other lines are promised to be affordable, but no firm commitment on price.  Westinghouse is a leading manufacturer of LCDs, and many of their products are lower in cost than other major name brands, so it is entirely possible.
