Syntax Olevia LT32HV 32-Inch Widescreen HD-Ready LCD TV
Very Disappointing
We bought the 32\\" on July 24, 2005 and it puked on August 25, 2005.  Just died, right out of the blue.  Screen went black, audio quit.  Called Syntax customer service who decided that the tv was dead and not repairable.  Told me they would send me a new one, we could then pack up the old one after receiving the new one.  It would take 5-6 business days for a new one to arrive. This happened at 6:45 on a Friday.  We will now go for at least a week w/o tv b/c of this piece of junk.  They faxed me their replacement information to begin the process, and that document tells me that they will not ship a new one until they receive confirmation from their carrier that the old one has been picked up, and to add insult to injury they must have a credit card # so that they can \\"authorize\\" the MSRP of the old tv so that they can charge the card for any damage, scratches, etc. once they assess it.  In other words, I haven't even received a bill yet for the first tv, and they are going to \\"authorize\\" another charge to my card for the 2nd tv.  The MSRP for the 2nd tv is $1499, which is $300 more than I paid for it.  I will end up with nearly $3000 charged/\\"authorized\\" to my card for a tv that lasted one month.
