Nice picture whenworking [Posted on 2008-02-16]
After having this product for 5 months, the picture went dead and volume wasn't always working. Kept taking longer and longer to actually turn on and I could only tell this when the volume was working since picture was already out. Called Syntax customer service and they notified me I had to ship my old tv back to them so they could look at it. Took 3 weeks for them to ship the tv back (with a different remote, not sure why). Worked like normal again for about 2 days. Volume doesn't always work. But I didn't bother to call syntax back since it was a pain. I recommend not buying this tv or buying a very long warranty from the store. Looking for another tv and spending the extra money for a better brand, like LG or Sony).
Olevia means value [Posted on 2008-03-21]
That's what it means! I've had mine for about a year. No problems, great picture, average sound (you always need a home stereo or surround system to get the best from TV sound). Menus take a little getting used to. Just one HDMI port for your DVD or BD player - so get a multiple switcher if you need more. Most of us don't.
At $600 currently, this is a steal. I paid nearly $800 then. You can spend two or three times as much and get a little more, but not much more. If you already have a much bigger screen TV, this will be great for another room. If this is your choice for a first digital HD 1080i TV, congratulations - you are on the right page.
No paper user manual. Upgradable ROM via USB port. Make your relatives and neighbors jealous that they paid so much more for a lesser performing HD TV.
A pretty good deal [Posted on 2008-04-14]
I have had this TV for about 5 months now and have used most of its features. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. The picture and audio are very good. I had a Superbowl party and all my friends watched the game on this TV and very were all quite happy. My only complaints so far are:
1) The TV takes some time (around 10-12 secs) to start up. I wish it booted faster
2) The remote control is not compatible with my Comcast DVR; so i need to use 2 remotes
Given the low price of the TV, I am happy to live with the above mentioned shortcomings. Ofcourse, you know this is not a "top of the line" TV. But if you looking for good quality for an affordable price, you would like this TV
WARRNING [Posted on 2008-05-08]
Don't buy a Syntax Olevia! I bought one and it died almost to the day the warranty went out. Customer service said I would have to pay to ship it back and pay the parts and labor to fix it and that would cost over half of the TV's cost. They wouldn't offer to help with anything and they said they lost my registration card, the same one they used to call me with to ask me how I liked it a week after I bought the TV. So all I can do is to post this to every blog I can to try to inform others.
obscure instructions [Posted on 2008-10-20]
I bought an olevia 32 inch and while I like many things about it, the jacks available on the back have no real markings for use that I understand. It should be in everyone speak, not tech speak or for those used to the new terms. I use a/v cables, and while there are sound jacks for the red and white ends, where the heck is the video? also, it is totally not compatible with my magnavox [new] dvd player/recorder.
the manual that came with it is written in such a way as to be the least helpful possible. and the cd which I thought would have more info is simply the electronic format of the no help manual. I would not recommend it to anyone, unless all you do is watch tv and use nothing else people have begun to use tv's for.
