Don’t buy a Syntax Olevia! I bought one and it died almost to the day the warranty went out. Customer service said I would have to pay to ship it back and pay the parts and labor to fix it and that would cost over half of the TV’s cost. They wouldn’t offer to help with anything and they said they lost my registration card, the same one they used to call me with to ask me how I liked it a week after I bought the TV. So all I can do is to post this to every blog I can to try to inform others.

I just recently bought this tv from office depot for 799 and this tv is awesome, i already owner an olevia 27 inch and for this price added a lot of depth to my tv watching.

I just got the tv a day ago and i must say that I’m impressed. At first I thought a 42″ would be a little too big for my living room, but this thing sits perfect. I haven’t hooked up my HD yet, but the satellite picture is way better than I thought it would be. The sound isn’t even all that bad like some of the reviews stated on other forums. The room its in is 18×15 and its loud enough, but I’m still going to hook up a surround sound for the theater effect. My brothers came by yesterday to watch the all-star game and they couldn’t stop saying how nice it looked. I’ll update this review in the weeks to come to see if the tv is performing the same. All I can say is for $983($799 before 2 yr. extended warranty which I recommend and taxes, can somebody say Fair Tax) this is a great deal for a 42″ lcd hdtv that broadcasts at up to 1080i.

OK let me start out by saying that once i decided i wanted to spend alot of money on a tv, i for sure did my homework on it. and the Olevia 42″ 242t was on sale at Office Depot. I bought i over a year ao and it has worked perfectly ever since. No problems and no complaints from me. have it now hooked up to surround sound, xbox, ps2, and all and it still works great. Even leave it on at night sometimes for over a year and screen is still like the day i bought it. get one

Ive been working for over 2 months to get my Olevia replaced because the screen went bad. I am now in process of reporting them to the BBB for lack or action on the warranty and going against the terms of the warranty. At this point, I cant even quantify how much time I have put in to this. I recommend spending the extra couple of dollars to get a Toshiba, Sony or Samsung. The saved headache alone will be worth it, but they also have superior picture quality.
