Superb Specifications at Compelling Prices

• 750:1 contrast ratio
• 16ms refresh rate
• Three rows of backlights for image brilliance and clarity.

Both Syntax models are HDTV-ready in a 16:9 widescreen format with automatic progressive scan, true 1280 x 768 resolution for the 30-inch and 1280 x 720 resolution for the 27-inch model, a wide 170/170 viewing angle, 500cd/m2 high brightness and a fast 16ms response time for quality vivid images from a variety of locations. Measuring 35"L x 22"H x 4.25"D (including detachable speakers and stand), the Syntax Olevia LCD-TVs utilize a slim, space-efficient flat design, and are VESA-standard wall-mountable using an optional mounting kit.

Syntax Groups' Olevia 27- and 30-inch LCD-TVs include dual NTSC tuners providing picture-in-picture (PIP) capability, as well as the ability to display split-screens or up to 12 windows displayed concurrently for multiple channel scanning.
