Syntax Olevia LT26HVE 26-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV
A solid choice
I purchased this LCD TV after considering many conventional TV's in the $500-700 range.  My main concern with \\"tube\\" TV's ultimately was space, and so I researched some less-expensive LCD's and settled on the 26\\" Olevia. <br />I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the picture, particularly in HDTV.  Now I'm no expert regarding the performance of various comparable units, but I've found this TV to more than satisfy my goals of upgrading my modest home entertainment system without breaking my budget. <br />My only negative comment relates to sound quality, which I consider fair to poor. Regardless,  I am running sound through my home entertainment system so that issue is irrelevant for me, but possibly not for others. <br />One suggestion, if you go comparison shopping at big box stores like Best Buy you are likely to be drawn to 32\\" and larger LCD TV's.  The 26\\" models seem tiny by comparison in such large space, but they are more than adequate for most rooms--take a deep breath and avoid over-buying for your needs.
