Digital camera reviews of Syntax Olevia LT32HVM 32-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV

Digital camera Review: Amazing picture! Lots of inputs to choose from. (NO HDMI)
Summary: 5 Stars

I can't believe how amazing the picture is! I have NOT noticed any ghosting, lag or pixilation with this TV. The screen is bright (adjustable) and crisp.

The setup: I am running Monster Cable component cables from my (non-HD) DVD player and everything is plugged into a Monster Cable PowerCenter HTS 2000 MKII (even the cable signal from the street.)

The menu gives you plenty of options to fine tune your TV, so if the picture is only so-so out of the box (like mine) then just take the time to go through the menu and adjust to your liking. Grab a DVD that doesn't have tons of action and will give you long scenes (I had to put in Field of Dreams to get the greens and blues just right). Check out Monster Cable's HDTV Calibration Wizard DVD for a walk-thru calibration anyone can do.

When watching TV, or anything else in 4:3, the screen will be blank (black) on either side of the image. It's definitely NOT grey as someone said on a review posted elsewhere.

I noticed that I can have all of the lights in the room on and I can still see the image as bright as if I didn't have any lights on. I couldn't do that with my CRT television. Plus, the Olevia's screen is truly NON-glare.

I've hooked up my laptop to it via the VGA cable provided with the TV, and the image (after some adjustments on the laptop) was excellent and could be used for a meeting or presentation. S-Video from the laptop was horrible. DVI would be best, but I don't have DVI on the laptop to test.

The remote is as barebones as it gets, but then again, you are building a home theater, so why not get a nice universal remote?

The stand/feet make it very stable when not mounted to a wall. Four textured rubber pads (the size of quarters) are on the bottom to keep it from sliding. Mine sort of 'sticks' to the surface on my entertainment center.

The speakers are WORTHLESS. Maybe it's because I am so used to having surround sound, but they don't seem to worth listening to. If you don't have an 'ear' for sound quality they will be fine for you. If you DO have an 'ear', they will sound flat and powerless. No bass/lows.

There are two plastic wire 'clips' on the back of the unit. You can run most of your wires through them to keep them managable, but if you are using all of the inputs you will find that you pretty much max them out. Useful for the average Joe consumer.

If you are purchasing this TV I highly recommend you pick up some high quality audio/video cables. This will give you a clear picture and sound.

I HIGHLY recommend this TV!

Summary of Syntax Olevia LT32HVM 32-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV

Olevia (LT32HVM) 32" TFT LCD TV
Amazon.com Product Description Time to update your old-technology CRT TV? Zoom into the future with the 32-in ch Olevia LT32HVX flat-panel LCD TV, which is HDTV-ready. It incorporates the latest v ideo processing technology--Syntax's iDEA--as well as the enhanced iDIVA virtual surro und sound processing. More than just a high-quality TV, the set's PC inputs also make it equally suitable for home offices. It offers a black cabinet with speakers integrat ed in each side and a removable table-top stand; it's wall-mountable with an optional kit (VESA-compatible--100 x 200). It features a built-in, 181-channel NTSC tuner and c an receive high-definition (ATSC) broadcasts from an optional HD receiver.

This LCD TV provides a 1280 x 720-pixel native resolution for a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio for optimal letterbox movie watching and compatibility with 1080i/720p/480p/480 i video formats. It also offers an extra-wide 170-degree viewing angle, fast 12ms (mil lisecond) response time, 700 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, and 7 50:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to dis play subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.)

The LT32HVS performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal, too--a handy feature for wat ching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. To adapt 24 fra mes-per-second movies to 30 fps video, frames in the original movie must be duplicated ; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this duplication by removing the redundant informati on to display a frame-accurate picture. A 3D comb filter further enhances resolution b y removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of c olor along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a charact er's striped T-shirt). It provides PIP and split screen functionality between two diff erent video sources. Other convenience features include selectable aspect ratio (4:3, 16:9), channel return, favorite channel, closed captioning, clock/alarm, sleep timer, and V-Chip parental controls.

The 20-watt stereo audio system (two 10-watt speakers) delivers ample sound for sports and movies. The iDIVA virtual surround sound provides you with several easily adjusta ble settings that simulate an array of audio environments. It offers the following con nection options:

  • Composite AV (RCA): 2 in
  • S-Video: 2 in
  • Component video: 2 in
  • DVI: 1 in
  • PC VGA: 1 in
  • RF: 1 in
  • Analog audio (RCA, L/R): 1 out
  • Audio inputs: AV/S-Video x 2, Component x 2, Mini - Stereo Jack x 1

Syntax's iDEA Technology (Innovative Digitally Enhanced Architecture) delivers an exceptional solution to digital display complexities commonly associated with color, contrast, sharpness, motion, noise and audio lip-sync. iDEA's suite of built-in and user-selectable video/audio features delivers precise colors, sharp resolutions and audio synchronization through its advanced Digital Sound Processor (DSP).
Dynamic Brightness & Contrast Controls
Pure Edge Enhancement
Advance Sharpness Control
Maintains overall picture quality by providing consistent, balanced color levels to control shades of gradation in dark or bright image scenes. Virtually eliminates jagged edges from traditional interlaced video formats by creating refined edges around the objects on the screen. Advanced CTI / LTI algorithm improves color shifts and minimizes any type of shadowing or ghosting effects and increases sharpness and detail of pictures.

Dynamic Noise Reduction
Black Level Extender
White Peak Limiter
Reduces motion pattern noises without blurring an image especially when watching regular OTA (Over The Air) television broadcasts and low S/N ratio video signal. Extends certain "gray levels" to black within a picture to define details lost. Analyzes and limits the amplitude of white frequencies, that can distort images resulting in a faded or washed-out appearance during bright scenes.

Advance DSP
Analyzes color frequencies and controls intensity of colors to give a more natural appearance. Takes whole picture and analyzes the intensity of primary and secondary colors to match that of brightness and contrast. The result is a balanced image of colors. iDEA Technology incorporates a high performance Digital Sound Processor (DSP). Through DSP's circuitry, the audio-to-video phases are analyzed and matched to prevent "lip-sync" inconsistency.
