3 comments about Olevia 219H 19-Inch LCD HDTV.

1. I've been looking for a cheap HDTV for the kitchen. Olevia is a good brand and this TV fit my space. Now that I've seen it I'm not wild about it, and I'm not sure I want to keep it.
   
   Note: It is NOT 16:9. The box clearly says 16:10. I wouldn't have bought it if I knew it was 16:10.
   
   The speakers are awful. Words can't describe how bad the sound is. External speakers are a must. Bummer.
   
   As with most LCDs, the black level and contrast are bad, but I wasn't expecting much.
   
   The good thing I wasn't expecting: "Big Picture Technology" works magic on 4:3 standard def video. 4:3 images fill the 16:10 frame without obvious distortion. How do they do that?



2. I bought this TV for our small kitchen. I was worried because I hadn't read any great reviews about it. For it's purpose, the tv is great. The only thing is that the speakers aren't all that great. It sounds like a computer would without speakers attached...well, maybe it's not that bad. It's just not so great either. I would agree that you would need to hook up better speakers. For the price, I love it.



3. 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.

1. Solid value for the price. I caught it for $800 at a local Sam's club. Within a day, they sold all four remaining units. It displays 1:1 pixel for pixel without overscan that many TVs do. Translated, that means on SD channels over the digital tuner you sometimes get a goofy white line at the top. On NBC HD, I get a solid yellow line on the left side that is annoying. Tech support says that's the way their TVs work and to just live with it. I confirmed by viewing the same behavior on two other Westinghouse models at Best Buy. I think they should issue an update to the firmware that allows addresses this issue. Color seems to switch a bit with the content but then that's where we are with the wide variety of programming and inputs. I am considering returning, but the price is about $700 less than anything in it's size range. Otherwise, seems like a good unit. If anyone comes up with a fix for the picture centering, let me know!!! Update, Westinghouse has entered a ticket for IAI tech support to come out and perform a firmware update. We'll see how that goes. Also, I am now using a HD satelite with HDMI connection to the set and the picture looks very good. I will likely keep the set now but sure hope to get the firmware (goofy menus) issue updated.



2. I just purchased this TV myself and have been very pleased with it so far. The volume issue you talked about is the biggest problem that I have. If you forget to turn it down when going from a DVD back to TV, the volume will blow you away because there is so much difference between the two. But I recently signed up for digital cable (no HD yet in my area), and on the back of the cable box I noticed RCA-type output jacks in addition to the normal cable jack that I was using. I connected the RCA outputs to the TV and it seemed to slightly improve the picture, but most importantly the level of the audio signal is now about the same as the DVD player. I can now watch TV or a DVD at the same volume number. If you have a component (cable box, DVD player, etc.) that has other outputs, it would be worth a try to see if yours responds the same way mine did. Hope this helps!



3. We bought this TV with built in DVD specifically to have "night at the movies" on our patio with a number of neighbors. The sound when viewing TV is great, but when a DVD is playing it reduces to where you can't hear well at 100 % setting. I purchased an external speaker set, and result is same.



4. I bought a westinhouse LCD TV for over $1600 and the tuner went out after just 2 years!!! You will be greatly dissatisfied with a Westinghouse product, even if bought at a reasonable price. I called the Westinghouse customer service department and they basically said that they weren't going to fix the problem. This is the last time I buy a product from Westinghouse.



5. Pros -
   
   Good Picture and cheap.
   PIP is great.
   
   Cons -
   
   Sometimes turns off while switching inputs. I have a Harmony 880 and they do not play nice together.
   
   It does not save sound settings. If you use an AUX stereo you have to change the settings to external everytime you power up the TV.

1 comments about Audiovox FPE3707HR 37-Inch -InchUltra-Inch High Resolution HD Flat Panel LCD TV.

1. We did some comparison shopping for an HDTV at different stores and settled on the Audiovox for a couple of reasons. One, it was one of the least expensive HDTV's for a 37" and two, it's a 1080P resolution. Every other HDTV in this price range were 720P, which if it's a great price and it doesn't say 1080P, than it probably is 720P. You're paying a little more for 1080P than 720P but trust me it is well worth the extra money.
   
   I have had this product for about four months now and have had no complaints. The size of the TV is just right for our small living room sitting about 8 feet away. I also like that the speakers for the TV are located on the bottom of the screen and not to the sides so it takes up less space. We watch blu-ray movies on our Playstation 3 and the picture quality is great. The only reason I give this TV 4 stars is because I have compared it to the Sony Bravia which is a TV that is nearly twice the selling price as the Audiovox. The Sony, also 1080P, has a little bit clearer picture with things that are out of focus when watching a movie (things that are in the background on the screen). I never noticed until I watched the Sony Bravia for a while. So, if your looking for a HDTV and have a small budget, I would definitly recommend the Audiovox.

1. Great item. Picture great, sound great, connection choices great.
   One problem: Being located about a foot away from an under-cabinet radio, the presence (shut off) of this TV produces an annoying ratteling sound in the radio. To eliminate this sound you must unplug this TV from the power source! Or, optionally, move it at least three feet away, which in our case is not practical.
   Very curious!



2. Love this TV. Took me months to decide on something for my smallish kitchen. So happy I bought this one. Great picture quality; light as a feather if you have to move it; takes up minimal amount of space; and last, but not least, price was just amazing.



3. We bought this TV because it had a small enough height to fit below kitchen cabinets. However it has performed better than other larger and more expensive sets that we have. In particular, when viewed at an angle, its picture is comparable to that of a vacuum tube, unusual in my experience for an LCD screen. For those who are thinking of a huge flat panel TV, buy this one instead and sit closer to it.



4. Great TV. Use it every morning to watch the news as I drink my coffee and prepare for the day. No problems!



5. TV is very light weight, I love that, very clear picture. All around it seems very nice - so far anyway.

5 comments about Panasonic TH-42PH10UK 42" Plasma HDTV Monitor.

1. I live in Barbados, so bying this item from a third party seller ritz camera had me abit nervous but i trusted amazon so i knew that all would have gone well.
   
   About a month after I received my monitor in very good condition and believe me it was worth the wait. This monitor i think is the best on the market. The screen resolution is just remarkable and the black in it beats any LCD moitor . I would recomend this moitor to any one just remember ,it has no speakers or tuner just connect it to your cable box and use your bnc to rca adapter and you are good to go .
   
   My next step is to get the HDMI cable and module where i can enjoy real HD quality as we don't have that feature from our cable provider in Barbados .So any one out there who might be interested in this model or any other panasonic brands don 't waste your thoughts just buy it ,it is worth it .



2. Pros: 1) Great picture! This plasma has the contrast you just can't find on an LCD.... not to mention the vibrant color! 2) The native resolution is higher than similarly priced panels at 1024X768. 3) This set easily produces a 1080i signal out of a cable box. Currently most satellite and cable companies are broadcasting HD in 1080i, and this panel which I am using as my bedroom tv is fitting the bill perfectly! I should mention I'm using component to BNC adaptors for my picture.
   
   I also own a Sony 50" plasma which is also beautiful(but has had some reliability issues) and have tried an hdmi in that set and found that the picture looked better with component cables. With hdmi, the picture lost it's vibrant colors, and for the hefty price I returned the cable from where I bought it. Both cables were from the same top manufacturer. I also say skip the terminal board, unless you really need a HDMI input and just buy decent component cables. Even the component cables supplied from the cable company work just fine.
   
   Cons: 1) The moniter should come with some BNC adapters. You will need to buy some if you use the component option. They only cost a few bucks and you will need 3 BNC adapters(BNC male/RCA female). 2) No tuner or speakers. This is exactly what I wanted though as my cable box is being used as a tuner, and I wanted to chose my own speakers. Not really a con unless you want these built in. In that case, you should buy the consumer version.
   
   Other Thoughts: I'm thrilled with this purchase. This tv came with a free 5 year warrenty from Panasonic as long as you purchase before December 31, 2006. Keep an eye out because this free warranty is still re-appearing form time to time. A 5 year warranty simply means Panasonic has a lot of confidence in their product!
   
   This is the second time I've dealt with the delivery company AIT(not sure who Amazon is currently using). Both times they've been awesome. They are not required to bring the tv inside(front door delivery), but have always offered. Just be sure you examine the panel before you sign anything as it could become damaged in shipment. Also, they usually deliver alone, and it's good to have somebody home to help them who is capable of lifting. Otherwise, you will have a problem. They call to schedule a delivery time. It will only protect your display.



3. i bought my tv in january 07,works good then one day i see half picture and a white space on the display...can some one advise me what to do..pls ..



4. This is an amazing HDTV monitor, it works really well. The picture is very sharp. It is better than LCD, especially in fast moving scenes.
   I owned it for 4 months. Excellent blacks, excellent picture quality, nothing to complain about.



5. I've had a 50 inch model of one of these for over year now, and I just got a 42 inch model to use as a computer monitor & HDTV for my quest room... Yeah I wish they were 1080p .. but watching it.. I've never been disappointed at all... They are really beautiful screens. Now matter where we go and what we've seen in stores and other peoples new 1080p HDTVs, we are always glad to get back home to this set. Couple of things.. I don't know why people bother to tell you there is no tuner.. I don't know anyone that uses their built in tuner anyway.. we do have one bedroom hdtv we just use the built in speakers.. but those too.. few people use.. I guess it's best you know that a monitor doesn't include those though. And as far as being glossy and shiney.. Our 50 inch model in in a room with 4 - 25 by 8 foot windows in front of it.. and glare has never been the slightest issue. My wife's favorite seat is as the perfect angle to be glared out.. and she doesn't even notice it she says.. So we have a pretty extreme setup for glare, and it isn't a problem. It looks like it will be before you turn it on, but it's not. Yes you don't get many inputs.. but you can buy more... and the really cool thing about that, I've already found out.. is as your equipment changes.. you can switch to different types of inputs.. to hook up most anything.. They has built in split screen controls.. big picture, little picture in picture, two pictures same size.. some (the 50) 3 pictures.. I hooked a PC up with a blue tooth keyboard and mouse and I watch TV, or use my PC or both.. or can switch to my old Nintendo Game Cube without getting up... Which is what I'm doing now with the 42 in the quest room. The rez could be better for using with a PC.. but it's great still.. big and beautiful.. We say that and you go 'ok'.. but I tell you.. watching an HD travel show is just stunning.. sometimes it's better than being there.... Get the expensive steel stand. These things aren't the lightest.. the stand holds in firmly in place.. I would mount the 50s on the wall unless you plan to go ino the wall and do some serious bracing... You can go to Panasonic.com and go to the Business section (not Commercial).. and find the monitors there.. It will show you all the different input boards you can get (you can even get a board with a whole PC built into it.. I wouldn't.. but still) These inputs change with the times, which is nice. I expect these monitors will last a long time.. I think they have like 60,000 hour expected life time without repairs.. which is years.. They are built to be left on as displays in airports and stuff... so they are rugged.. You just won't be unhappy with these monitors, once you crank them up.. Whenever you come home to it from a trip.. You will turn it on.. and know you are back home...

1 comments about Emerson 32" LCD HDTV.

1. I purchased this TV from [...] refurbished. It looks like new and after changing my directv service to HD, the picture looks great. The definition is excellent. The only - thing is that there is no code for the directv remote to be able to set this TV to work with the directv remote, so you have to use both remotes. Since I use it in the room, it is ok. I read many reviews about this and apparently cable and dish tv customers have the same problem. About Emerson, I used to have a small Emerson TV a while ago and the picture was great and it lasted for ever, so I trust this brand even thought many people have not heard about it. Keep in mind that for HD LCD TVs you'll need to get HD signal to get the best picture quality. This is a great TV and I recommend it highly.
