Syntax Olevia LT30HV 30-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: ok but can't watch tv
Comment: check online forums..I am among the many
Olevia owners who find the picture just
fine until the screen goes black..its not
worth plugging/unplugging (over and over)..
inexpensive but never again and tech
support ranges from unavailable (phone system
problems) to "sorry..you're on your own". I
owned the TV for a little over a year before
it went black.

Summary: YOU WILL REGRET BUYING THIS TV
Comment: I bought this tv to surprise my husaband when he returned from the Middle East. We had it 2 years. It now goes black all the time. I'm a Television Consumer reporter and would never recommend this TV. It didn't have that many bad reviews two years ago, but it does now. Do Not Buy This TV! Read the reviews. Works for awhile and then goes black. Invest in something better. It will eventually break on you too.

Summary: Have had two of these for 4 years - works great - but not perfect
Comment: Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R6532Q1V4YRR8 They work pretty good - but the problem is that after much much use - there is burn in issue - of course that is true with almost all LCDs. We have had no other problems with one exception. The tvs are very sensitive to low signal level. At 1080i - it doesn't like component switches or direct connects from the PS3. It cuts out and fritzs. I have a video of this I will try to upload.

I would also like to know if other people have firmware upgrades past the initial one that allowed the tv's to work with scientific atlanta remote controls???

Summary: Avoid Olevia!!
Comment: I purchased this TV in August 2006, and it quit working around March 2008. (less than 15 months!) Apparently Olevia utilizes the substandard Darfon V144 back light inverter board.

When the board goes, so does the TV. Of course you can purchase a new board online for about $200. But why invest that amount, when you can add another $200, and purchase a new and better TV.

I'm really disappointed with the Olevia brand. I guess that's why you see so many of them for sale online. And their either refurbished or open box. I'm sure a lot of customers are returning Olevias due to their unreliability.

Do yourself a favor and buy a Panasonic, Sharp, Sony, Samsung or RCA product. Trust me; being cheap in the beginning, is really not worth it in the end. I learned the hard way.
