Syntax Olevia LT32HV 32-Inch Widescreen HD-Ready LCD TV
Great deal!
Like most people, I was skeptical about buying an expensive appliance from a company with whom I was not familiar. But after receiving my TV last night, I am definitely pleased with it. The picture quality is astonishing. The brightness and contrast are everybit as good as the other readers have written. Hooking my PC up to a 32\\" screen is a real treat. I don't think I can go back to my old 19\\" monitor again.  <br />The TV also has a multiple picture in picture feature. (You can watch up to 13 channels at once!) However, it only refreshes one screen at a time, so it's not continuous realtime video for all the screens, but no big deal. With the 2-screen picture and picture, both screens run in realtime, so no worries here. I have 2 \\"small\\" complaints, however: <br />The remote control isn't that great as I've read. Its control settings are different than most other remotes, and this remote isn't very powerful either. You almost need to point it directly at the TV for it to function at all - even with brand new batteries.  <br />Another small complaint is the \\"zoom\\" feature on the TV. It still stretches a 4x3 picture even though it crops the top and bottom of it. I don't really understand what Syntax was thinking when they came up with this idea. Fortunately, the regular 4x3 and 16x9 settings are flawless. <br />All in all this TV is a great buy for $1600, and it measures up very nicely with the models double the price. This TV has outstanding picture quality and plenty of features and different inputs.
