My Syntax Olevia 30" LCD died today :(

that sucks. Have you heard if that has happened to alot of them? Well it's good they are going to fix it.
 
I have the same one. Try this, manually unplug it at the outlet then plug it back in. That happened to me once.
 
I have had that happen to a 17" lcd...

sent it back and they said it was working.

sometimes, pulling the power for an hour or so may fix the problem.
 
Call me crazy, but I won't buy these uber-cheap generic brands. I am willing to spend the extra 25% for the name brand equivilent.

I was a little worried about it too when I bought the 27" model... but for an LCD TV at $700 it was too hard to pass up. I was all set on getting the Dell one until I was told about the 26ms response time. These Olevia have 16ms (verified no ghosting). And price difference ? $600 less for the Olevia. That's way more than a 25% difference. I went for it.
 
It's actually a very good monitor/HD LCD imho. I got it for about $1k for a 30". Wonderful with Windows Media Center.
 
Also, I looked on syntax website and it said I had to register within first 30 days to get onsite service. I never registered, but they are sending a guy out to fix it. I bought it at microcenter, btw.

I guess I have been burned too many times by my cheapness. I have had lots and lots of generic stuff die over teh years. The only thing to not let me down is my Apex DVD Player.

I have my XBOX HD pack hooked up to YpbPr. Now if I wanted an HD TV box, how would I get that in there too ? What is this YCbCr about ? They both look like the same component ins... are they interchangeable ?

they are component ins, its the technical terms for red, green blue component cables.

yes, but are they interchangeable as far as HDTV goes ? I am reading that YPbPr is for progressive feeds and can carry 30KB of info and YCbCr is for interlace and can carry 15KB. Now if it's a progressive scan DVD player, I know which to use, but if it's an HDTV signal from a digital cable box, would it be worse to put it in YCbCr ? Would the XBOX HD feed be worse there as well ?

(sorry to threadjack)
 
Let us know what the on site guy says. Im looking at getting the 32" model. That is if I can find it for under 1400.
 
I only buy these expensive items at costco. Oleva offers 1 year onsite service free. After that, bring it back to costco. heee hee
 
..I bought the Sceptre 30" at costco..no prob's and stunning DVD playback thru the S-video connector. Costco doesn't sell Syntax...
 
hmm. It's weird. I turned unplugged it. Plugged it in again after 5 mins, and it worked. Then it died again after 20 mins. Then I unplugged it for 5 mins and plugged it in again, and it has been working fine for a day now. Syntax is sending out a new PSU part. I guess I should go ahead and have them replace it even if the TV is working, since it could die again at any time, though I wonder what the tech will say.
