Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)After doing a lot of research for a few months I had come to the decision of buying this TV. So far I have been pleased. The image is very crisp compared to my friend's Sony that was around $500 more. Some of the pros and cons of this TV:
Pros
1. Very good TV for the price as good if not better than its higher-priced big name brand counterparts.
2. DNR feature, if you have an analog signal from an antenna or cable, this really cleans it up and makes it viewable on this TV.
3. VGA and DVI inputs. I was happy they provided both of these rather than one or the other and force the consumer to use adapters or something.
4. Overall quality of the lcd screen is perfect. No blurriness or other image problems I hear about from other screens.
5. No beeping noises or other such rubbish when you turn it on. Not much a pro but this a little annoying in TVs that do this. It turns on fast too.
Cons
1. The speakers on this TV emit a low hiss-like sound that was pretty annoying. This isn't too big of a problem if you use a home theater system or even just a pair of computer speakers.
2. The remote's button layout seems unintuitive. The channel up-down buttons are placed right under the power button near the upper left part of the remote. I have found myself accidentally turning it off a few times. I plan on getting different remote soon though.
3. No zoom feature. This isn't too big of a problem if your DVD player does this for you.
4. The TV response time to button presses (surfing channels, etc) seems slow. I'm not sure if this is just a basic thing in newer generation TVs or not. Not that big of a bother though.
5. No HDMI input. This is the only real drawback here but DVI provides almost the same quality image.
Overall this is a very nice TV that performs well. Gaming is a blast especially if you have Xbox. Despite the minor flaws I still give this 5 stars, all the cons can be dealt with and the main reason for the TV (the screen itself) is flawless. I recommend this too anyone wanting to jump on the HD bandwagon but not pay the super high prices of those other brands.

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.
