Duration of ownership: 18 Months

Strengths: quality of picture was good for first 12 months but quickly declined

Weaknesses:Main picture board needs replacing after 18 months costing at least $350. Customer support and warranty is brutal.

Overall Evaluation: I do not recommend this TV

Duration of ownership: 7 Days

Strengths: Color quality, sound quality and last but not least value

Weaknesses:None yet!

Overall Evaluation: I'm super happy that I bought this TV. I compared it to the Vizio and not only did I get it for less than the Vizio from buydig.com (by the way they double boxed it and I ordered Thursday night, it was shipped by midday Friday and I got it Tuesday morning!) but I thought it really blew away the picture quality.

Duration of ownership: 6 Months

Strengths: Great picture, excellent price, good sound

Weaknesses:One HDMI input, PIP

Overall Evaluation: The TV is excellent. Very good picture and surprisingly good sound. It does have a subwoofer output. This is nice if you choose to stick with the TV speaker, just hook up a powered woofer to it and you will have very nice sound. The menu take a few minutes to get the hang of, but once you get it, it is fairly simply and easy to use. The remote is fine, it could be nicer but you could also be paying a lot more for it too. The ability to use the TV as a computer screen is also very nice. OVERALL EXCELLENT BUY..THE BLUE LIGHT...there is a LED blue light that remains on when you turn it off, I actually like it. BUT if you don't like it all you have to do is go to the menu and TURN IT OFF...not rocket science...takes 10 seconds to do and no tape needed HA..THE BAD...there is only one HDMI input. Also the area containing all the inputs is some what crowded so try to do it once and only once. The PIP is not what you would think of, you can NOT watch two TV channels at once. Only two different inputs, such as your computer screen and cable TV. It should be noted also that there is a delay in turning the TV on, about 6-10 seconds. This may annoy some, but I have found that I am able to wait 10 seconds to watch TV without any difficulty.

Duration of ownership: 1 Years

Strengths: Clear picture, lots of inputs

Weaknesses:Static popping noise. Insufficient speakers.

Overall Evaluation: If I turn the bass up past halfway, I get a white noise echo which when I called Olevia they claimed was on account of the "cheap" speakers being unable to handle the input. If you are looking for a tv with good sound, this is not it. Plus, as mentioned in other reviews, once in a while the tv lets out a loud static pop that startles the heck out of you and the sound will not come back on until you turn the tv power off and back on.

Duration of ownership: 2 Months

Strengths: Great picture, great value.

Weaknesses:Imagine trying to configure a complex electronic unit without the remote.....

Overall Evaluation: I was like a little kid with a new toy when this arrived and couldn't wait to set it up. It was a bit of a drag that the instructions were only on the CD, but what the heck, how difficult could it be? I hooked it up to the DirectTV, the stereo and everything else, fired it up and Wow! What a picture. Granted, it was only a huge image of the Olevia logo, but it screamed BIG TIME. Then, the fun began. I pointed the remote, it flickered but nothing happened. I read the manual, followed the instructions - 8 TIMES!! And nothing happened. I called customer service and spoke with a nice lady who walked me through all of the procedures that the manual walked me through - to no avail. We agreed that I had a faulty remote. She told me it would take 4 to 6 weeks for me to get a remote!! That was on November 14th!! I am still waiting for that remote to arrive. I have called and even e-mailed the VP of Marketing (It's not easy getting an e-mail address of anyone at Syntax-Brillian) but she was on holiday vacation. In late December I spoke with a customer service rep who said that the record says to ship a new remote - TWICE it said this. Still nothing......3 days ago, customer service left a message at my house that they have shipped a remote. My guess is that they put it in the glove box of an intern who was driving to Florida to see his grandparents and I should get it any day now......I still can't configure this unit properly. Try as you may to use the nearly invisible buttons on the front of the set, you just can't get through all of the steps in order to get the picture right. I'm sure it is a piece of cake with a remote....at least that is what I'm hoping. I'll bet that 99% of the customers have a good experience, but unfortunately, I am in that stinking 1%

Olevia 537H

Bargain LCD HDTV surprises PC World judges with pleasing image and color quality

The bargain-priced Olevia 537H--the first HDTV we've tested from this company--made a good first impression. The 37-inch LCD did particularly well in standard TV tests, effortlessly minimizing pixelation on baseball stadium turf and displaying noteworthy color vividness.
