1. I bought this computer december of 06', on black friday, i ended up getting this tv at around $500, at the time the closest thing was over $1000.
   
   there is one word to describe this awesome tv... perfect.
   
   maybe its the amazing 1080i picture, maybe its the ability to play all my pc games with stunning clarity (crysis,COD4,FEAR) and have this act as a double monitor, or the Xbox 360 1080i graphics, im not sure, but everything i wanted or wished i had from a HDTV i got with this one.



2. 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).



3. 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.



4. 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



5. 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. I did a pretty thorough research on 17" and 20" LCD TVs. Like the Samsung LTN1735, it is a very nice TV. However, I'd prefer 1735 than this one because you can't make it sit straight up--it inlcines backward---like the Sharp E1U or EsomethingU. When I sit on the sofa to watch TV (I am a short person) I have to raise my head all the time.
   My ranking according to my personal preference of the 17" 20" LCD TVs are as follows:
   1. Samsung LTN
   2. Sharp Aquos B4U
   3. Toshiba
   4. Dell 1700 / Batesias VMT201
   5. Sharp E1U
   Haven't tried others. There certainly are better ones out there and you just need to do a little research
   Some people don't like the Batesias for its average PC pic. But I feel OK. But ultimately wife bought the LTN 1765...personal preference!



2. First, a correction - the above reviewer has mentioned that this monitor cannot be set straight up and is angled backwards. This is not correct. The screen can be set vertical and can swivel back to about 15 degrees.
   
   I researched every tv/monitor of this type and size on the internet and settled on this model. However, I ended up returning my first piece to Amazon and am in the process of returning its replacement too. The picture quality on the first one was pretty bad. The lower half of the screen was very fuzzy (both in the TV and PC monitor modes) and the colors bled. The replacement was sharper, but the colors are all off (too green and bright). I painstakingly spent 2 hours trying to tweak everything very late at night(that's when some TV stations broadcast their color test pattern that you ideally need to use), but have not been able to elimate its green cast.
   
   The set looks very sleek but of what use is it if it doesn't deliver in the picture quality department? Pass on this one. Amazon has been extemely easy to work with on these returns, but buy one locally if you must so that the process is faster.

1. I'll put this here because I'm not subscribing to some goofy forum just to give a review, and all the Verizon Fios customers are trying to figure out what's up. They are giving these away free with their service bundle, but can tell you nothing, I mean nothing. They don't have to because people are willing to walk on coals to sign up. Straight scoop, picture is great on this tv. All the options in the world, so you have to mess with the setup a bit. Hint: choose picture option vivid. Fios is way good enough, standard without HD, on this 19". I say save your HD money for the big screen set. Hooked up Phillips 5982 DVD 1080i upconverter to this, $59. Way cool resolution and picture. Check out the reviews on that. Also, the sound truly is inadequate, but not a problem, because every 19" is way inadequate. No worries. It has a headphone mini jack output in the back. It also has optical audio out in the back, but that is way overkill for a 19". Back to the mini jack. Hooked up Cambridge Soundworks, $79, oh my my. You can hook up any PC speakers to this. Went direct, no additional volume control needed. You control the sound through your blaster. It cuts off the TV speakers, like you need those. Also, this TV has the same specs as the Aquos version, except no goofy magnetic remote control. Oh, yeah, use your Fios STB remote to run the TV, DVD and STB. It works great. Follow the insructions provided by Verizon on the remote control, make all the units turn off and on at the same time.



2. Purchased at Circuit City at a great price but you get what you pay for.
   1 month after the purchase the HDMI port no longer worked and 3 months later the set will not power up. The warranty is 90 days parts and labor and 1 year parts so in order to fix the set I will have to shell out more than I paid for it in labor costs. Currently pleading with support to pay for the labor since it's only 1 month out of warranty.



3. When I finally received my free HDTV from Verizon (about three months after it was promised) I couldn't wait to try it out to see if it really worked. All I can say is WOW! Loaded with features, beautiful picture when used with FiOS, easy to use--well worth the wait.
   
   The set fits in great where I wanted it to. It's not the biggest TV in the world (what do you expect for free?) but it's a great little set.



4. If you're a college student, who needs a TV and your school has digital cable availibility. Then this would be a great TV.
