Syntax Olevia LT32HV 32-Inch Widescreen HD-Ready LCD TV
ditto
Have to agree with the majority of the reviews- as a set to get one into the world of true flat panel TV's this model seems to fit.  If you are a super Techno person than I doubt you would be surfing the web for a sub 2,000 set at this point but if you are interesting in finally getting rid of that bulky armoire or huge entertainment furniture monstrosity this may be the set for you. <br />PROS: <br />Nice DVD and excellent game screens - some games and DVDs may be \\"Dark\\" but you can adjust to your taste. <br />All the those wonderful connections- no more need to use a \\"switch box\\" with the various S-Cable, components, composite, audio output, etc it is easy to get everything set-up.  Now if I could find a way to really hide some of these cords but that will come with a nice sleek stand or when it goes up on the wall. <br />Easy to use- just read over the manual and you should be ready to go.  Even playing with the colors and such was fairly simple. <br />Frees up space in the apartment/house- while it is 32 inch you can move it around to fit a smaller room. Just dont expect to see some Gigantic TV screen- it is big but not like some of those 42 inch u see in the window of your electronice store down the road. <br /> <br />CONS <br />Regular TV will be a huge disappointment. If you don't have HD signal prepare for not liking what you see via regular cable or such.  My building has one \\"trunk\\" for the 37 plus units so signal is weak to begin with.  Even with an amplifier I am unable to get certain channels on the regular TV tuner.  Luckily my TIVO picks up the channels nice and even has a \\"cleaner\\" picture- so the Tuner on the set may also be to blame a bit but it really is mostly my poor regular cable service. <br />Remote is a disappointment but works fine- looks like something out of the 70's.  TIVO can get some of the general remote commands so I mostly use TIVO remote- works out fine.  You will need the remote in order to jump between signals such as going fromTIVO to XBOX and such from a distance but it works OK for that. <br />Sound is a bit weak but no one really use a sets regular speakers when you can just hook up the red/white AC output cables and run it into a stereo or home theatre system- remember to turn your sets speakers off (easy) before turning on the other sound system- don't want to do damage. <br />No way to set different view settings- if a DVD is dark and you change the settings you have to change it back when you switch to a different input. <br /> <br />Since I never had a flat panel it will be interesting to find out what I think of this set if I were to upgrade to Plasma or such a few years down the road.  If you have the big bucks to spend maybe one of those 42 plus inch ones that cost as much as a small car would be worth it but for the wife and me this LCD is nice way to test the waters of the future of TV and free up some space in the house. <br />ENJOY! <br /> <br />
