First, I must say that I own the Syntax Olevia 232v and the unit that will be shipped from DiscountJungle IS NOT a 232v. The 232v is easily identified by the two vertical speakers on either side of the screen hence the 232"v" model number. I'm not sure what model this is in the picture but I'd be highly upset if I paid for a 232v and received this instead.With that said, if you are on the fence about purchasing the Olevia 232v you can carefully and calmly step down and run and grab it as you will not be disappointed in any way.When I first saw the specs and read the reviews I was like yeah right but finally decided to give it a try after speaking with the Circuit City store manager who said I could simply return it if I didn't like.The colors are very true and bright for an LCD. The blacks and whites are vivid and rival anything by Sony within $1000. The screen is very bright which is manaually adjustable or adjustable via 3 different presets (dark, medium, bright) depending on the lighting in the room.Even though Olevias american website doesn't mention it this unit DOES have Clear QAM and the network HD stations are amazing once you get your antenna connected and adjusted. By the way, Olevia's asian website does properly list clear QAM in the 232v specifications. I got about 10 HD channels immediately and there looks like there are about 5 or so that my antenna can't reach.The sound is decent but I bought a Denon HTIB to handle the audio. Altogether with my PS3, Denon HTIB w/DVD player, and PS3 this is a very nice setup. BTW, Resistance "Fall of Man" in 1080i is simply stunning![...]

First I would like to say that I totally back up the first reviewer as far as the make and model of this TV is concerned. It is not the crappy version that you see here on Amazon. I also would not have purchased this one for the price. The version that they have looks like an oversized regular model TV. Nothing I would spend more than $200.00 for. The 232V model I have has two speakers - one on each side. Now let's get to my personal review.I purchased this TV about two or so weeks ago and I'm extremely pleased. Even though this unit does not carry the so-called brand name, DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS SILENT KILLER! The colors & picture are absolutely stunning. My DVD player comes through with great clarity. WOW! No problems with the volume. I use this with the minimum volume settings and it still appears loud (without the home theater system on). I wanted to test the volume by increasing it, only to hurt my eardrums halfway through. The speakers work great. I also have a SONY Theater System attached to this baby so you know I'm riding high in the clouds. My son is jealous and now he wants this TV. I paid about $550.00 at Circuit City when they were running a sale. You can't go wrong. This TV could hang up there with the other 32" costing hundreds more.I bet if you put this TV side by side with the other models costing more, you would probably see no difference. I read the reviews on Circuit City's website before I made my final decision and I couldn't be more pleased.This TV has plenty of hookups in the back of the unit for various devices. There's no shortage here. At the moment, I have two DVD players attached (DVD & Recorder), theater system, and I'm in the process of getting my Direct TV attached next.I have this unit attached to a swivel wall mount. I was going to write a review about the wall mount, but I do not see it listed on Amazon. The wall mount that they have only has four screws that you would use to attach the unit to the TV mount, mine has six. Since I was going to attach a tv that weighs about 40 pounds, why not get a device that can hold it more firmly. Maybe it's my paronoia, but who wants to come home one day to find their $500.00 unit on the floor in pieces? Be aware, not all wall mounts work with all flat panels. They say universal, but some people have been caught out there big time!!!!!!(As of 6/9/08, it looks like Amazon has the correct pic of this tv.)

I picked this TV up in April 2007 and viewed it in 480p ("enhanced definition") by upconverting my DirecTV signal through my Panasonic DMR ES-10 DVD recorder. Viewed straight on, the picture was pleasing and sharp, and the colors vivid. From an angle, the picture became fuzzy but I was impressed enough to keep the TV and make the leap into the world of flat screen TV.Two days ago, I had DirecTV's high def DVR installed and connected it to the TV with spectacular results. The colors and clarity on Miami CSI blew me away, and when watching baseball you can see every drop of sweat, every pore, and even the faces in the crowd are distinct. With the new high def receiver/DVR (which receives local digital and standard definition broadcasts as well), all signals look great, even standard def, from ALL viewing angles. That's key, because the quantity of high def programming is still somewhat limited to selected sports, local news and many prime time shows and movies. In fact, the standard def and digital broadcasts look far better than on my brother's high def SONY flat screen and the high def looks just as good.For an apartment, bedroom or office, this TV simply can't be beat at this price. My only reservations are the average sound (which can be output to a powered 2.1/5.1 system if you need to add bass) and limited inputs (1 HDMI, 1 component, 1 component/VGA). I have my laptop hooked into the VGA input, and its great to see my digital photos leap to life on the 32" screen. I also recommend that you take the time to learn how to manipulate the aspect ratios on the TV as well as the use of formatting/native/non-native resolution settings that are part of your cable or satellite receiver. Making slight adjustments will ensure the best possible picture, but if you're not into such tinkering the "out of the box" picture is excellent in its own right. The on-screen menus do take some getting used to, but if you are basically comfortable with technology and video equipment, you'll pick it up fast enough. Overall, an amazing value and a great entry point TV for any high-res TV fan. At this price, it makes a lot of sense to go for it!
