Syntax Olevia LT37HVS 37-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV
Nice TV, but rebate issues
Received the TV but the delivery folks took away the box (as others have complained), making the rebate hard to fulfill. I contacted Syntax customer support by email and got a prompt answer. They appear to be willing to work something out with the rebate if you send in a photograph of your serial code and UPC symbol from the back of the TV (as well as the Amazon invoice - which I had to print out as I never received an actual physical invoice). I encourage all those in my situation to contact their customer service email.  <br /> <br />Okay, the TV. I was going for a Sharp Aquos 37\\", but decided to save about $1500 and get the Syntax Olevia instead.  <br /> <br />CONS: It seems a bit bulkier and more computer flat-panel in design than living room chic (I love the glass frame look of the Samsungs). I would have liked detached speakers. When audio is muted or off, you can hear some residual noise. I would have liked pure silence. <br /> <br />PROS: The display is bright, good contrast, and the built-in tuner is nice. I use it currently for DVDs, so I can't really test HD resolutions yet. I use an Oppo Digital DVD player with HDMI outputs. My wife loves the new TV and enjoys watching shows on it. <br /> <br />Overall, I think there's good value for the money spent. If the rebate issues are sorted out, I'd be happy as I factored in the rebate price when purchasing.
