Syntax Olevia LT26HVE 26-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV
Bah, back it has to go...
I just got my Syntax Olevia LT26HVE 26\\" HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV. I will admit that I was pulled in by the price and the reviews however it's not all it's cracked up to be. <br />  <br /> Out the box I found the picture and the sound to be rather poor compared to my Zenith Tube TV (which is about 6 or 7 years old I might add). After some playing around with the settings, I was able to improve the sound quality to a suitable level. The picture quality however was a different story. On full, 16:9, and panoramic the picture gets stretched. It only looks normal on 4:3 and even then the picture quality stays the same. The picture looks a bit \\"washed out\\" and doesn't perform well with fast moving images.  <br />  <br /> I really wanted to like this TV. If not for the price then for the looks but after sitting in front of it for a few hours and playing some games on it, I have to send it back and use my old Tube TV till I find a new one... <br /> <br />I gave it a 3 star rating only because it's still an ok TV for someone who just wants a TV. I need a new TV for some high quality projects and the picture wasn't sharp enough to do it for me.
