Syntax Olevia LT27HVX 27-Inch Flat Panel LCD HD-Ready TV
Great TV for the money
I got a tremendous deal on this TV at $500.  I was keeping my expectations low at that price, plus the fact that this is a brand I never heard of.  But I am really quite impressed.  The picture quality is pretty good.  I did hear some hum from the speakers when I used the sound on the TV, but I hooked it up to my stereo and it sounds great now.<br /><br />I have not tried it with HDTV yet, but DVD looks very good.  It's not exactly on par with the $5k Sony I was looking at in the store, but it's not much different.  I would imagine that I will be even more impressed when I actually get to use the HDTV inputs.<br /><br />One tip: If you are hanging this on a wall, it's a little confusing getting the base off.  I had to call the company for support (which by the way was quite painless).  You have to unscrew 7 screws total.  Just look for the sets of screws in line with the base.  It seems like common sense, but their 3 different screw sizes and placements.
