Syntax Olevia LT26HVE 26-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV
Good for movies, OK for monitor
I bought this to replace my NEC 17\\" LCD Monitor which I use for both TV and computer use(ATI All-in-Wonder TV/Video card in the computer) The NEC has about twice the native resolution as this unit and the image is a knockout, though small. When used as a computer monitor/web browser the Olevia is borderline. I had to increase the type size about double to avoid ragged edges and reading difficulty. This makes each web page full screen width and thus there is a great deal of scrolling to see each page. Even at this size I miss the type resolution of the NEC. The story is the same for use as a TV with an analog signal - I miss the resolution of the NEC but like the screen size of the Olevia. <br />Then I play DVDs the story is different - the resolution and image quality are quite good, especially for the price. Since this is the quality I will get when all the broadcasters complete thier conversion to digital transmission, all will be well. It is difficult to get the skin tone right (too much red, as mentioned elsewhere) though I eventually did get it too an acceptable level. I have decided to keep this and sell the NEC.
