March 30th, 2005 | by Mike Bell

Conclusion

Syntax/Olevia has entered the LCD TV market with a product line that is very compelling for its performance and price. The LT30 is a very good first effort, and we look forward to seeing more products from this company.

If you are looking for a reasonably-priced 30” LCD TV with pleasant styling, good performance, and a rich feature set, the LT30 should definitely be considered.

Pros

• Separate memory for video settings on each input
• Very good picture brightness and detail
• Good contrast and viewing angle
• Warranty: On-site one year

Cons

• Remote control design, button placement
• Weak bass from built in speakers
• Buzzing sound when backlight is in “normal” position
• Input source labels cannot be customized — confusing labeling
