Syntax Olevia LT42HVi 42-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV
No regrets
Great tv for the price, no major complaints.  I thought maybe Samsung had a slightly better picture, but not drastically so, and defn not worth spending the extra money.  Had a decent experience with Syntax customer service.  Mine only came with a power cable and I wrote to them and they shipped me a VGA cable.  They said it does not officially come with any other types of cables, so if you get them, it's some kind of a secret bonus.  Only complaint is the remote control, which is not always very responsive.  I am considering getting a universal remote.  By the way, to program the tv into your dvd remote, I used the LG code, since Syntax was not listed, and it worked.  This is my first LCD tv, and I've become a regular at Blockbuster since getting it (warning-- you might become a movie junkie just because the picture looks SO good!).  I do not have digital cable but the analog cable line looks okay, not too terrible.  Using HDMI for dvd player gave me best picture, slightly better than component cables.  Plenty of inputs in the back for all your components, just about 2 of each kind.  Speakers sound loud, clear, and have a lot of audio settings to play around with.  I'm a tough critic, but so far I have not been disappointed with this tv.  I'm only minusing one star for the flimsy almost-good-for-nothing remote.    Edited to add: I didn't like the Toshiba SD-4990 dvd player so I exchanged it for the RCA DRC255N.  The RCA gave me the green screen issues some people had reported.  Before totally panicking that I broke my tv, I got yet another DVD player -- the Samsung HD860 -- and it worked fine, no green screen.  I used the same HDMI cable for all three, and only had issue with the RCA unit.  Btw, Samsung was the best player of the 3 I tried... no confusing set up for hdmi output like toshiba, just plug in and it auto-detects your settings.
