Curious if anyone has looked into this monitor. It's marketed and warrantied in the USA, but seems to use similar panel and setup to others discussed here from Korea...but has a more proper monitor stand and USB and Audio stuff. And only $600 shipped prime from Amazon. It's only real weakness I can gather is it may be PWM, but I think some of the other Korean are also, even though they claim not. And it seems to not have PiP sorta stuff like most of the Korean ones.
It's basically the exact same monitor as this more spendy Seiki Pro. The Seiki just has the PiP features...but seems identical otherwise.
Well darn...really trying to decide between this and the Wasabi Mango UHD400.....but can't for the life of me find any comparisons between this or the Seiki Pro SM40UNP which is similar and the UHD400. This is known to be PWM....but seems many think the UHD400 is probably just a higher rate PWM than average. This has USB hub, which might be handy. More curious of the panel specifics though and ability to calibrate each well.
Yeah...it seems so. You get a more "monitor" style stand than the Korean ones...and a USB hub. And only lose the Multi input Picture in Picture and Picture by Picture stuff of the koreans and the Seiki Pro it seems. Think the processing and controller board not needing to output more than 1 input at a time is the reason this Westinghouse is sold at a much lower price. But somewhat curious if the image processing and ability to calibrate colors matches the Seiki Pro and Koreans also since it's so much cheaper. The Seiki Pro at least has one review linked above and it looks great and I'm leaning toward this Westinghouse on the similarity....would just like to see some info from someone other than Amazon reviewers on how decent it is and whether it uses the same panel as the Seiki or not since it also seems there are a few of the VA panels getting used even in similar models that aren't all as nice as others as far as Pixel arrangements and such.
I've owned the Seiki Pro. Just a heads up, the GtG response time on these is horrendous. Like 2003 black trails following text horrendous. Also the capacitive buttons for the menu are unresponsive and garbage. Might as well cross PIP off the feature list because you can't get the menu to cooperate without wanting to rip your hair out.
Any questions let me know. This is the same thing rebranded Westinghouse
If you can initially set up the colors and contrast/brightness to your liking right off the bat and never require the menu ever again they are decent monitors. I used PcPer's calibration settings which looked spot on to me.
After I setup the menu stuff once I never touched it again for 3 months in fear of the capacitive buttons failing (Amazon reviews). Then I got a PS4 and switching inputs became a total pain in the ass although it does auto switch to the next active input once I turn the PS4 off so kudos for that.
The super slow black transitions are really only noticeable in web browsing and is a total non issue for gaming. Input lag to me felt pretty low. Much lower than the AMH A409U when I had them side by side. The panels uniformity is probably it's biggest strength. Mine was like pure black from corner to corner with no bleed.
I paid $399 for the Seiki new on sale. I would not pay over $500 for it or the Westinghouse variant as long as the Wasabi Mango, AMH and whatever other Korean panels exist.
