Strengths: INCREDIBLE PICTURE!
Weaknesses:Menu a little confusing at first. Weight.
Overall Evaluation: After researching LCD's in the 46 to 50 inch range for quite some time, I came across the Olevia 747i. I was impressed that it had won the prestigious Best of Test award from Wired magazine beating out Sony, LG and Samsung sets to name a few. The set arrived and I must say, the weight of the set is quite accurate. It is a beast, mainly due to the tempered glass that covers the entire front of the set. Having SECURELY mounted it to the wall after removing the included speakers(which worked wonderfully in my pre-mount test by the way but we have a nice Onkyo surround system), I put it through the tests to see how accurate the pro's were in their reviews. I was blown away by the image that appeared on the screen. I had to pinch myself and double check the back of the set to make sure it was an Olevia and not a high end Sony costing hundreds of dollars more. We have a smaller Olevia set that has been ok for use in the kids game room, but the image quality was so-so at best. This is the mack daddy of Olevia line and it certainly is on par if not better than the major name brands out there. It isn't just the picture that looks great, but the set itself looks very classy and showroom quality hanging on my living room wall. Standard definition feeds look good, HD feeds from my Directv are simply stunning. No jaggies, but a nice smooth natural picture. The menu is probably going to throw some people for a loop at first until you get used to it. It has already been discussed, but Red means the option is selected and Green means it isn't. A little backwards in my opinion, but really, how often are you in the menu system messing around anyway. Fro the pro's review, these sets are calibrated at the factory to be near perfect out of the box and mine was just that. I think I upped the contrast a couple of notches and changed the color temp. to natural and that was it. I really can't stress enough how great a quality set this is. Too bad Syntax Brillian is encountering some financial troubles. If they could have had a little more time to push this set and the brand name, they might be at the top of the flat panel market. It really is outstanding. I would not hesitate to recommend this set to anyone, even at the $2000 price range which was much more than I paid. Seriously.

Strengths: Picture quality, Multiple input and output options, Reasonable price, Glass panel front
Weaknesses:Very very heavy.
Overall Evaluation: High end video processor provides outstanding picture, especially for HD programming. Although other reviewers have said positive things about the standard definition picture quality of this TV, I think the SD picture quality still not as good as an analog TV set.

Overall Evaluation: I had reviewed this set thoroughly before purchasing and finally decided to take the plunge and bought it from buy.com for a great price but I received a faulty product so I will see in the next few weeks just how good Olevia support really is??? I'm hoping for the best?

Strengths: Picture Quality, Inputs, PIP, Remote, Great for standard cable service
Weaknesses:Not a significant weakness but be prepared, it is heavy.
Overall Evaluation: I was holding off on purchasing a large LCD HDTV since I'm only using standard cable service. Happened upon this TV while browsing a retailers website. It was on sale with free delivery and with an additional % off discount I felt the price was a bargain. The few reviews I found on the web regarding this TV were quite favorable. Olevia TVs generally seem to be highly rated for value and performance. Crossed my fingers and made the purchase without ever seeing or touching the TV. I've had the 747i for a couple of months now and I'm very pleased with its performance and looks. I know I'll never push this TV to its full potential. I'm still hooked up to standard cable service and the picture quality was great right out of the box. Some channels are better than others but nothing I can't watch. I did get a few HDTV channels when the TV scanned for channels during setup. The HDTV channels are an improvement but I'm happy with what I have at this point. I find the remote is quite functional. Most of what I need has logically placed buttons. The TV has plenty of inputs you access from the back side of the unit and two internal tuners. Besides cable TV, I've hooked up a DVD player and computer to the TV. DVD and web-surfing picture quality is great. The TV comes with two 25 watt bottom mounted speakers that sound pretty good. You can move the speakers to the side of the unit if you wish. A glass pane covers the front of the entire TV. This is great for ease of cleaning. It also pushes the weight of the TV to around 160 lbs. I haven't had any problems with glare or reflections from the glass. I paired the TV with a Bush Stanford black TV stand (see review) and it looks great. Placing the TV on a stand is a two person job, at least that for wall mounting. The one year in-house warranty is nice since the TV is so heavy. I've found this TV has been an excellent purchase and would recommend it to others. Review the technical specs of the TV and there is plenty of performance and features I didn't mention.
Review:
Syntax-Brillian Olevia 747i LCD HDTV
Badly designed set has a very good picture to compensate for its shortcomings.
To see a good example of "too clever for its own good," check out the Olevia 747i's on-screen menus. The bolt-like gadget that appears when you click the remote's Menu button is original and kind of cute. But when you try to use it, you quickly discover that cuteness and originality come at the expense of practicality. The dang thing just doesn't put enough information on the screen. For instance, when you want to adjust the picture, it displays only one video option at a time.
