Syntax Olevia LT30HV 30-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV
Cheap HDTV LCD
I was in the market for a bedroom tv and decided that it had to be at least a high def monitor.  Also after lugging around too many tubes, I decided it must be something light like a LCD high def monitor.  After looking at reviews and PRICES, I decided to purchase the LT27HV for $700 after rebate.  Here's my list of PROs and CONs: <br /> <br />PROs: <br />1.  Relatively inexpensive for a high def LCD. <br />2.  Plenty of inputs. <br />3.  Relatively light and compact. <br /> <br />CONs: <br /> <br />1.  Remote is horrible (especially what you must endure to  <br />    change the video source). <br />2.  Remote codes are not readily available.  I was able to <br />    control the power and volume with some research on my <br />    directv remote and that's it. <br />3.  Picture quality is fair and picture tuning is very difficult <br />4.  Changing the picture size (i.e. 16:9 versus 4:3 versus 4:3  <br />    stretched) is awkward. <br /> <br />If you are in the market for a cheap high def LCD now, then you cannot beat the price of the LT27HV.  I haven't seen anything cheaper or remotely close in price yet.  If you can wait a few months, I would not recommend purchasing the LT27HV.  It's fair picture quality and operational burden are a royal pain.
