Olevia 232V 32" LCD TV

This Olevia (Syntax-Brillian) model 232V is not thin in comparison to other flat panel TVs. This is a big plus however, because the contour shape of the back panel allows for easy grip for handling in the event that this TV needs to be relocated. Also for some reason I decided to dismantle the TV; note I have since reassembled the TV and everything is still in working order. To my discovery I noticed that the LCD device in the TV is made by LG. And the speakers are self contained units that can be modified for DIY'ers. Just imagine this TV being like your car in which you can replace the speakers with after market drivers. Anyway I watch a lot of TV. Well lets just say that even though I may not be watching (sometimes just listening) the TV remains turned on for long periods of time. I have had this TV viewing call model (so to speak) for the last couple of years, and I can back that the TV has been pretty reliable.

Sidebar: Digital TV apparently is more susceptible to interference. For instance Nextel cellphone usage or other UHF band transmitter like public safety radios, cellphone jammers (consumer and military) may significantly impact TV reception quality. Also I discovered the Samsung directional indoor antenna works great when the sweet spot is found. But the key is to find the sweet spot, and different TV broadcasters that transmit from different locations of their antenna requires some trade offs in the direction in which to point the antenna. I live over 25 miles from the TV broadcasters' antenna, which I think is on top of a mountain. The terrain and elevation appear to really influence Digital TV transmission ( 8 level Vestigal Side Band modulation).
