Syntax Olevia LT42HVi 42-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV
The best value in flat panels (right now, anyway)
After several months of exhaustive research, and seemingly endless trips to BB and CC to compare models directly, I finally ended up purchasing this set.<br /><br />Amazingly, I have no regrets whatsoever.  That's right, zero buyer's remorse!  For the money (see the Target pricing in other reviews), you simply cannot do better than this set.  SD satellite is surprisingly good--even compared to my previous CRT.  After calibration DVDs are stunning.  HDTV finally gives me that 'looking out a window' feeling.<br /><br />Minor quibbles:  The remote is indeed very cheap.  I use an all-in-one learning remote anyway, so that's not an issue.  Some people don't like the glass in front of the screen; it does have an anti-glare coating, but it will give you some reflections depending on your viewing area (as will CRTs, and plasma).  Some people have reported problems with the image turning green occasionally when using the HDMI input.  Tech support will send you a new input box (easily swapped out with a couple of screws) that corrects the problem.  A few people have reported their sharpness setting not \\"sticking\\" on the component inputs.  I haven't had either of these issues.<br /><br />If you have a surround sound system, you can remove the factory speakers (below the screen in the image above), and lower it on its stand, so that it looks much more sleek, and plasma-like.  Careful though--this thing is heavy!<br /><br />I love this set.  Now that I've got it dialed in it looks better than any HDTV I've personally seen--regardless of price!
