Olevia 747i

Description: The Syntax-Brillian Olevia 747I is a 47-inch, LCD television.Compared to other LCD TVs on the market, it is midpriced at around $1,975.This unit is an LCD display, which is generally the best kind of flat-panel screen for viewing in brightly-lit rooms.

Pros: Has a 47-inch screen size.This is larger than the average TV on the market today, but is to be expected for a TV of this price.Also, this TV has two tuners, which is considerably more favorable than some similarly priced TVs.(Having two tuners comes in handy when you want to view two broadcasts at once, using PIP.)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 unit 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: An LCD TV, suited for home entertainment.In general, a wide aspect display such as this one is ideal for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.

Value: Overall, this TV's features are as expected for this price.
