Syntax Olevia LT42HVi 42-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV
Couldn't be happier...
The price finally became right and we plunged into HDTV with the Olevia 42\\".  Great packaging for shipping and very easy set-up.  Of course, the red pull tabs for the protective screen practically fell off in my hand.  Called tech support (only waited about 12 minutes to get someone) who told me that the protective screen probably was never put on.  However, I e-mailed tech support and the next day got someone who told me it definitely was there and to carefully start from one corner and just slowly peel.  I e-mailed back that it couldn't possibly be there.  After several back and forths he convinced me to try.  Sure enough, I caught the corner and off it came!  The guy was very patient.  We are hooked up to HD cable so we use their remote so there's no problem there (one code for Syntax when setting your remote is 004).  The picture is awesome -- even on standard def with Zoom 1 to fill the screen.  The sound is terrific as well.  The viewing angle is truly 175 degrees without wash-out.  You can count the leaves on a tree or the hairs on a head with the high def.  Great picture, great color, all pixels accounted for -- I highly recommend Olevia by Syntax.  And tech support isn't as bad as they say.
