Looking for a new HDTV to use w/ my 360 and what not, wasn't sure if this is a decent set or not....couldn't find anything about it online, but i might be looking in the wrong places....or if anyone know's of another retailer that has a better 42" HD Set for around the same price of $1200....

well i just bought a Syntax Olevia 37in and i'm on my second one.... the first one i had, had a weird speaker problem pretty koo picture but the speakers on it where jacked the new one i got works great and they even upgraded it to the newest version since they didnt have my model......cant really say to much nice pciture on hd channels and play my 360 on it great pic at 720p....one down side is if u have to ever go thru the warranty department for Olevia its really slow to get ahold of them over the phone.....if budgets the problem then its a good deal if not then shell out a few more dollars on a named brand.....

Sup guys, my first LCD was an Olevia 32" that i bought back in 11/03 and i never had any problems with, all the hd channels looked stunning in 720p. My tv also had a slight buzzing from the speakers but i didn't really care because i always had my surround sound speakers craned up all the time. All in all this was a great buy for the price, plus i was lucky to never have any warranty issues. I would recommend Olevia products, i'm satisfied with my purchase.

Hi dreamer2, the only thing i was using my Olevia 32" was for video. My surround speakers were hooked up to my Yamaha receiver, basically i was using the DVI(had to buy a DVI to HDMI cable)port for my HD DVD player, components for my HD receiver, and components for my Xbox 360.. The sound was output from each component via optical cables from my Yamaha reciever, i never used the built in speakers on the tv. Now for the surround are you looking home theatre in a box(HTIB)?? Do you prefer floorstanding speakers vs. wall mounted speakers. I'm no expert when it comes to surround, i'm just an average user that knows good sound when i hear it..

well suggestion for u is that i didnt have that much good experience with olevia and as somebody else was saying too that it has sound problems . u should either buy a surround sound system with it or buy a better brand. or just buy olevia and see it has sound problem or not and if it hast then u r lucky
