Date: 2005-08-05 Disappointed My husband and I bought the 32". We saw it on shop at home. Of course it looked great on tv and the price was right on target.com. After some delay it arrived. The picture was very red and needed constant adjustment. We contacted Syntax who sent a new main board and a tech to install it. That part was defective. So we were sent a replacement set. We pulled the box off the new tv to discover a very large dent on the top of the back panel. So back went the first two tv's. We now have our third tv and it too is damaged!!! Something is wrong with the stand causing it to tilt forward. We are now waiting for #4!!! We're keeping our fingers crossed. We're very disappointed in Syntax's quality control. Date: 2005-08-02 A great buy This LCD TV has changed my view on no-name-brand TV. I just bought it two weeks ago and have it set up in my bedroom with my Toshiba SD-5980 up-conversion progressive DVD play. The picture quality of this TV is astonishing! The DVI connection gives the best PQ and I am now watching every copy of my DVDs. I also have saterlite and the images are pretty good too. Sure, Sharp Aquos 32" may look a little better but why spend extra $1,500? Plus, technology changes so quickly and I am sure that the Aquos will be nothing better three years down the road. Now I am waiting for 42+" LCDs to come out so I can get one for my living room. Forget about plasma, it is too expensive and has short life. The only minor things are (1) no HDMI (2) Screen size can be not remembered for each input. Date: 2005-08-02 Great TV and Value This is a great tv for the value. Works just fine - looks very sleek. HDTV looks as good as on my $5,000 sony. My only quirk was programming the remote for digital cable - this brand doesnt have one so i had to experement a bit. The remote program code is 070. Hope this save anyone a lot of time. Good Luck! Date: 2005-07-21 ditto Have to agree with the majority of the reviews- as a set to get one into the world of true flat panel TV's this model seems to fit. If you are a super Techno person than I doubt you would be surfing the web for a sub 2,000 set at this point but if you are interesting in finally getting rid of that bulky armoire or huge entertainment furniture monstrosity this may be the set for you. PROS: Nice DVD and excellent game screens - some games and DVDs may be "Dark" but you can adjust to your taste. All the those wonderful connections- no more need to use a "switch box" with the various S-Cable, components, composite, audio output, etc it is easy to get everything set-up. Now if I could find a way to really hide some of these cords but that will come with a nice sleek stand or when it goes up on the wall. Easy to use- just read over the manual and you should be ready to go. Even playing with the colors and such was fairly simple. Frees up space in the apartment/house- while it is 32 inch you can move it around to fit a smaller room. Just dont expect to see some Gigantic TV screen- it is big but not like some of those 42 inch u see in the window of your electronice store down the road. CONS Regular TV will be a huge disappointment. If you don't have HD signal prepare for not liking what you see via regular cable or such. My building has one "trunk" for the 37 plus units so signal is weak to begin with. Even with an amplifier I am unable to get certain channels on the regular TV tuner. Luckily my TIVO picks up the channels nice and even has a "cleaner" picture- so the Tuner on the set may also be to blame a bit but it really is mostly my poor regular cable service. Remote is a disappointment but works fine- looks like something out of the 70's. TIVO can get some of the general remote commands so I mostly use TIVO remote- works out fine. You will need the remote in order to jump between signals such as going from TIVO to XBOX and such from a distance but it works OK for that. Sound is a bit weak but no one really use a sets regular speakers when you can just hook up the red/white AC output cables and run it into a stereo or home theatre system- remember to turn your sets speakers off (easy) before turning on the other sound system- don't want to do damage. No way to set different view settings- if a DVD is dark and you change the settings you have to change it back when you switch to a different input. Since I never had a flat panel it will be interesting to find out what I think of this set if I were to upgrade to Plasma or such a few years down the road. If you have the big bucks to spend maybe one of those 42 plus inch ones that cost as much as a small car would be worth it but for the wife and me this LCD is nice way to test the waters of the future of TV and free up some space in the house. ENJOY! Date: 2005-07-19 Beautiful picture Color quality,contrast and brightness are superb! Picture w/digital satellite far superior to cable. I only gave it 4 stars because the stand could have been smaller,the dvi input inconvenient and if you wanted more color or change the tint you have to unplug the dvi.
