Product brief
Description: The Syntax-Brillian Olevia 232V is a 32-inch, LCD television.Compared to other LCD TVs on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $600.This unit is an LCD display, which is generally the best kind of flat-panel screen for viewing in brightly-lit rooms.
Pros: With built-in HDTV compatibility, this television can display images that are significantly sharper and more realistic than regular television, as long as the source is high definition.(It can easily render standard-resolution digital TV broadcasts and also depict the full resolution of widescreen DVD video.)The 3:2 pulldown feature of this TV reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.
Cons: None noted, given available product data.
Suitability: Appropriate for an small to medium sized apartment or condo living room.In general, a wide aspect display such as this one is well suited for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.
Value: Given its very inexpensive price, this TV has great features for the money.For example, when it comes to viewable screen size, the average price of LCD televisions with comparable viewable size is quite a bit more -- right around $805.
Suggestions: (1) For assistance in shopping for a new HDTV, review CNET editors' Ultimate HDTV Buying Guide.(2) If donating or repurposing your old TV is not a viable option, CNET encourages households to recycle their electronics.Please explore the following website to find a recycling center in your area Electronics Take Back Coalition.
