Syntax Olevia LT37HVE 37-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV |
Rating: 1 (out of 5)
Summary: Died in2years
Comments: Just a quick warning: while the features/price of Olevia are decent (except the finicky remote), this is the 1st TV I have owned in my 62 years that has died; and in rather short order -2years. Apparently (?) the capacitors on the power board have problems so the set stopped powering up - and mine is not an isolated incident (Google "Olevia power problems").
Pretty big ticket item to be worrying about repair bills2years down the road - and hefty to be lugging to the electronics shop.
I'd stay away from this brand. |

Summary: Now I owned a $800 piece of junk!!
Comments: I agree that Olevia is pretty great LCD for the price when it works. however I want to warned you about their quality. (A lot of people has quality issue with olevia, read other people's command)
I had a similar LCD TV from Olevia since June 2005. A week ago the screen when black however there still audio from the set so I know it's not the cable. I turned it off then back on. I got a brief blue screen, then the screen when black again.
I called the Tech support, and found out that I'll probably need a new LCD which going to cost me ~$500 because the warranty had ran out.
I spend ~$800 for the set and it worked for a year and a half, I do not think it's a great value, do you?
So before you waste your money on the set, asked yourself if it's a great value if it breaks in a little more than a year!!
This is a new brand, so at the time when I purchased the set, there is not report of how long the TV will last, knowing what I know now, I would spend a little more and get a different brand. Now I owned a $800 piece of junk!! |

Summary: Pleasently surprised
Comments: I took a shot of this no-name TV and have only been pleased with the results. I just purchased another smaller version (32). I also have2other name brands (Pan & Samsung) which I like and work well, however honestly I like this TV the almost all. It seems to have the best picture in HD and especially on the regular/normal mode TV of the group. It has the same codes as a Zenith so maybe they are the same, which I cannot say with any certainty. What I can say from my experience that I am happy with it after 6 months. The price point is only a bonus, the quality seems to be there whatever the price. |

Summary: Excellent Purchase
Comments: After reading many of the reviews, it is important to actually know what you are doing. I purchased this TV over a year ago and the picture has been fantastic. Is the remote inadequate?? Yes, so what, I always purchase a programmable remote anyway. I highly endorse the Home Theatre Master MX-500.
For the money I have been pleased with my investment. I plan on purchaseing a second1for my son's room.1review mentioned not being able to watch letterboxed dvd's , I have not had that problem. The blue light can be a little annoying, if it really bothers you purchase a $1,700 model that does not have a light !! Service problems, sure all manufacturers have problems, I had purchased a 65" Mitsubishi Diamond television only to have it completely shutdown. No picture, no sound, nothing and this from a $ 5,000 tv which took 2 weeks to get replaced. With technology changing as rapidly as it is it will be difficult to purchase a tv without something better and cheaper being available a month after you have made your purchase, unless you are paying top dollar. If so you should have a couple of months before the new technology is released providing more features and better pictures for less.
Before you purchase and after, take the time to understand the programming of your TV otherwise you will be disappointed. Choose the right inputs to maximize sound and picture. Make adjustments to the brightness, contrast, color filters, and especially the sharpness setting. The Syntax has several different inputs, some that will not broadcast a letterbox picture.
Excellent product and excellent value!!

Summary: Unreliable
Comments: After10months of ownership I can agree with eone that this tv has a spectacular picture, when there is a picture. Replaced once under warranty, repaired once more and now broken again for the third time. Quality control is clearly not an issue with these people. Customer service works well after you get though to them, assuming you get through at all. Save your money until you can afford a set from1of the big names, they cannot afford reviews like this, apparently Syntax could not care less. |
