Syntax Olevia LT30HV 30-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV
amazing product for the money
first, let me say that i am no \\"videophile\\". i am not hung up on minute differences in picture quality. i purchased this product as a replacement for a 15 year old 19\\" sony. i was mainly looking for something that was flat panel, a little larger, and could be hooked up to a computer. i am just an average guy looking to replace his very old TV.<br /><br />there are many reviews of this nagging on the picture quality. yes, if you set this next to a unit that costs twice as much, you can tell the difference. i noticed it was not quite as bright, and the colors weren't as brilliant. is it good enough? yes, certainly. the average user will never notice.<br /><br />this is just an amazing product for the money. i picked it up for $899, and with rebates the cost was $699! literally, you will pay almost twice as much for competitor products.<br /><br />the detachable speakers are a nice feature. it saved me from having to buy a new entertainment center.<br /><br />the system has L/R and subwoofer audio outputs also, if you need more than the stock speakers. nice addition.<br /><br />i purchased the HVS model, not HV. oddly, the HVS model that i purchased is listed as \\"not yet available\\" here on amazon. i believe the difference is that the HVS model is single tuner, where as the HV is dual tuner. not an important difference for me, and i think most people. with digital cable, and required decoder boxes, basic cable tuners aren't so useful.
