Oh, and I doubt you will find Syntax-Brillian anywhere but through "an authorized" dealer. Olevia, Sceptre and Westinghouse are all discounted through most online sellers.

I own an Olivia, and it had to have its MB replaced (bad audio) and after 6 months, was replaced by a model half it's price. Nice.

Amazing! The first plug for an LCD HDTV that doesn't mention Contrast Ratio, refresh rate or improved black levels!]]>Oct 15th 2007 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/15/syntax-brillian-intros-new-1080p-olevia-lcd-hdtvs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/15/syntax-brillian-intros-new-1080p-olevia-lcd-hdtvs/

I know I won't gamble on discount brands, but its not only about the price but also the picture quality and processing which tend to be better even in Samsung vs Olivia comparison.]]>Oct 15th 2007 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/15/syntax-brillian-intros-new-1080p-olevia-lcd-hdtvs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/15/syntax-brillian-intros-new-1080p-olevia-lcd-hdtvs/Oh well, if it's a good product who cares.

Typical, brand x is better than Olevia. Its still not been proven. Have you ever looked at reviews of their sets, especially their high end 7-series. Excellent hardware, good panels, etc. Its not a lottery at all. I test consumer electronics, and we see a lot more problems with Pannys, Sharp and Samsung. But people still buy them, though we only rate them decently for quality. There's nothing wrong with an Olevia, and you'll find their scaling chips actually kick ash on SDTV

Just a curious consumer...]]>Oct 16th 2007 7:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/15/syntax-brillian-intros-new-1080p-olevia-lcd-hdtvs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/15/syntax-brillian-intros-new-1080p-olevia-lcd-hdtvs/Oct 16th 2007 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/15/syntax-brillian-intros-new-1080p-olevia-lcd-hdtvs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/15/syntax-brillian-intros-new-1080p-olevia-lcd-hdtvs/
Olevia has a 2, 3, 5, and 7 series on-sale in the US.

I have a 532h (read: 5-series, 32 inch, horizontal speakers) and I couldn't be happier with it.

32", 720p, looks so good I threw out my monitor and use my hdtv for my xbox 360, pc, and tv.

$500 SHIPPED, through New Egg.

Olevia's picture isn't as good as Sony's SXRD, but that isn't really a fair comparison. Those are very different markets, and for a "poor college student" Olevia ranks above all others.]]>Oct 16th 2007 3:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/15/syntax-brillian-intros-new-1080p-olevia-lcd-hdtvs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/15/syntax-brillian-intros-new-1080p-olevia-lcd-hdtvs/
the prices quoted are probably the msrps not what they are going to go for on the street

never had any need for repairs or customer service though i've def heard of hit or miss when it comes to that

i really have no need to overspend for a "brand" name that is prices so much more higher for minimally better performance. not to mention olevias generally have a better sdtv viewing experience for those times when you aren't watching an hdtv channel. it can get ugly on other hdtvs when watching sd.]]>Nov 7th 2007 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/15/syntax-brillian-intros-new-1080p-olevia-lcd-hdtvs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/15/syntax-brillian-intros-new-1080p-olevia-lcd-hdtvs/Nov 26th 2007 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/15/syntax-brillian-intros-new-1080p-olevia-lcd-hdtvs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/15/syntax-brillian-intros-new-1080p-olevia-lcd-hdtvs/they have been catering to the elite of the la and to the richest athletes.
i bought this 47 inch lcd the day after black friday and i paid 1099 for it.
now it is up to 1599. it is a great tv but their support just plain out sucks.
i wrote them 4 emails with no reply.
the reason is because i cannot register my tv on their site because it is so new it is not on their site for the registration as of yet.]]>Jan 27th 2008 4:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/15/syntax-brillian-intros-new-1080p-olevia-lcd-hdtvs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/15/syntax-brillian-intros-new-1080p-olevia-lcd-hdtvs/Dec 19th 2007 7:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/15/syntax-brillian-intros-new-1080p-olevia-lcd-hdtvs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/15/syntax-brillian-intros-new-1080p-olevia-lcd-hdtvs/and yes these tv's are great i just got hd hooked up today and man you see thing's in shows and movies you never seen before.
i also got it for 1099, at circuit city where you got yours right?
a day after black friday i bought mine.
and the next day it went up in price.
the only thing i don't like about this company they take forever to get back to you.
when you open a support ticket.
and they said they will never put out a firmware update they are just putting out new tv's everytime they develope new technology.
which is wrong because they are supposed to put a firmware update out when they make new technology.
and when they want or need to update the picture quality.
