Syntax Olevia LT32HV 32-Inch Widescreen HD-Ready LCD TV
Good Buy if you are not hunting the bleeding edge of technology.
The Syntax Olevia LT32HV is a good buy in my opinion if you understand up front what you are buying. There are many other brands with a superior product to this LCD TV. However, I planned to use this unit as a secondary PC monitor for PC games, a monitor to play console games, and when not gaming to be used with my Snapstream Beyond TV media PC. I can also switch from my Snapstream to my direct out from my cable box and watch the High Definition feeds directly when HD is available for that show. This Syntax Olevia LT32HV does all of these functions very well.<br /><br />I'm not positive I would reccomend this as the primary TV for a livingroom. As I mentioned before, there are other brands for that purpose. (Samsung / Mitsubishi are the kings of the livingroom!)<br /><br />This Syntax Olevia LT32HV comes with enough connection types to work well as a glorified video switchbox for all the devices I have attached to it.<br /><br />Color temperature is serviceable and contrast ratios are sufficient for all but the most discerning eye.<br /><br />My only real complaint is that I am obviously using many different video sources and switching between them sometime causes the image to not be centered properly on the input you just switched to. This is easilly fixed by a single button on the remote to force a \\"video adjustment\\" and you are back in business.<br /><br />When I purchased this unit the price was excellent and I got the \\"buy this unit and get the free 800x600 LCD TV all for the same price\\" deal and Syntax DID send me the other TV which is functioning well.<br /><br />Amazon only offered shipment options of \\"White gloves delivery\\" which DID NOT happen but Amazon was cool enough to then refund all my shipping costs so it all worked out well. I would like to add that this whole shipping fiasco had nothing really to do with Amazon. UPS just does not offer this \\"White gloves delivery\\" options to those of us who live in the south. (Houston, TX) So when the UPS guys dropped the package off and I asked him, \\"Where are the white gloves, and will you be watching me open the unit to check for dead pixels?\\" He just gave me a indignant look and said, \\"yeah right!\\" and got in his truck and left.<br /><br />So barring the \\"White glove\\" service. This TV is a great buy.UPS guys dropped the package off and I asked him, \\"Where are the white gloves, and will you be watching me open the unit to check for dead pixels?\\" He just gave me a indignant look and said, \\"yeah right!\\" and got in his truck and left. <br /> <br />So barring the \\"White glove\\" service.
