Welcome
to the Syntax Olevia LT26HVE 26" HD-Ready Flat Panel LCD TV Review page:
I
received the LT26HVE with plans to use it as a big desktop monitor. I'm used to
a big monitor since I burned out my 6-year-old 21" CRT. I was a little worried
about how this would perform based upon some of the reviews but am happy to report
that it works excellently in practice. I have two computers connected, one with
the DVI port and one with the VGA port. I've set both graphics cards to run at
the native 1280 x 768 resolution with excellent results. The display will actually
interpolate a number of resolutions (from 640x480 to 1280x1280). At first I was
concerned that the VGA output was cut-off at one side, but after reading the manual
discovered that the "Auto" button on the remote automatically detects the extents
of the video input and adjusts the display in a snap.
There are a myriad
of options for personalizing the display and color temperatures to your tastes.
HD Broadcast output looks outstanding.
A couple things detract from this,
but aren't really big negatives because of the economical price. These are the
somewhat odd (15:9) aspect ratio which makes very narrow letterboxing around standard
HDTV or WS movie content. The second thing is the desktop stand which seems like
it could be a little sturdier (metal instead of plastic would have been nice).
