I don't think you will have much luck with either Westinghouse or whoever built the monitor. I have Westinghouse 32" 720p TV bought on closeout sale as a bedroom spare. The Speaker went out right when warranty exprired - well, once in a while it pops on for 15-30 min. This is via internal tuner, RCA jack, HDMI etc. It has a headphone jack which works when routed to a, well, headphone, or powered set of speakers. Drove me nuts to try to figure out what was the deal and given the potential expense of replacing the main PCB (these are not like old CRT TVs where you can swap out various chunks), I just gave up. I bought a 55" LG 4k UHD for the living room and moved the RCA (another sad corporate decline) 40" 1080p to the bedroom. I took a chance on the Westinghouse since the RCA held up ok. Westinghouse is no longer the company it once was. After it bought CBS, CBS then sold to viacom, it spun off "Westinghouse" as a brand licensing company, the hardware was all sold off to various entities (Siemens, Toshiba, etc...). So when you see the name...just say no. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westinghouse_Digital https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westinghouse_Electric_Company And this one will rattle your eyelids: http://www.consumerreports.org/lcd-led-oled-tvs/tv-brands-arent-always-what-they-seem/ _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
