Syntax Olevia LT26HVE 26-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV
TV: Not as Advertised
Buyer Beware: The iDEA technology they tout is a marketing gimmick and does not provide even the same quality picture as its closest competition. I don't know where they got the comparison screens in their advertising, but the actual screen on my TV is very blurry, the color and contrast are nearly impossible to configure, and fast-motion imagery is choppy. Olevia Syntax has only been around for a few years--since 2003. And it seems like a fly-by-night outfit. They are making a big splash by dumping cheaper units and flooding the market with product that is only passably good at suspiciously low prices. But don't let the media frenzy fool you. This is a case where you really do get what you pay for (actually less). To top it off, customer service is extraordinarily inept. Rebates are not honored, and when you complain they ignore you. I wish I had gotten my TV from a reputable company that would not make outrageous claims and promises and then not stand behind its products or programs. It would have cost a little more, but when you're spending this much on a TV, what's a few more bucks to get something good?
