Syntax Olevia LT37HVS 37-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV
Good TV
I have owned this TV for 2 weeks. Overall I like it. <br /> <br />1. It is a HDTV. Amazon says HD-Ready which is not accurate. It has a build-in ASTC which works fine with a HD atenna I loaned from someone. <br /> <br />2. I still subscribed from Comcast a HDTV box. Using its component outputs, 11 HD channels look awesome. The bad thing is once you get used to these 11 channels, those old analog ones become horrible to view. Comcast NTSC tunner seems worse than this TV's own NTSC tunner. When I hook the cabel directly to the TV's atenna-in, the pictures indeed look better than those from the camcast box. However, Camcast encrypted all HD channels to force you use their box. <br /> <br />3. I then bought a Philips 5900/37 DVIX/DVD player with HDMI output. The player is capable to do 720p and 1080i up-conversion. Suprisingly, the upconversion looks great. I can see no blocks. I threw in two HD-DVIX movies. They play back on the TV with fantastic pictures. I love HDMI. Once cable for both crystal clear video and audio. <br /> <br />4. The only drawback is its VGA input. I do think it is bit too fuzzy for a computer monitor. And it doesn't sync very well with 1280x1024@60. I tried a computer game \\"Call of Duty\\". It looks good but not great. They should've provided both DVI and HDMI. <br /> <br />Overall, I think the TV serves the mission really well. I highly recommend it. <br /> <br />I bought it directly from Target. $1415 including Tax. and shipping. No complains for the price.
