Keep your TV up-to-date with a Westinghouse LCD television.

In order to stay up-to-date, most high-end televisions periodically release firmware updates (this includes Westinghouse LCD televisions). These updates download directly from the Westinghouse website and correct anything from color issues to problems connecting to inputs. The update is available for free, although you do need a USB flash drive in order to upload the information onto the Westinghouse LCD television system.
