5 of 5 LOVE THIS TV! Tuesday, March 06, 2007
A Customer from Dayton, OH
Our family is so thrilled with this television. It's really beautiful - picture is extremely clear and it's very sleek. Original setup was quite frustrating because we didn't have a computer accessible to run the cd containing the instructions and we received the tv on President's Day. Olevia's customer service was closed! Hmmmm. We muddled through, however, and now we're very happy. I would recommend this product because of it's exceptional quality for the price tag!

5 of 5 Good tv with a nice price Tuesday, March 06, 2007
A Customer from Vienna, VA
Basically, this is well worth the value. The only downsides to this thing are 1) the weight and cumbersomeness of the unit itself, and 2) the ease of the on screen display. It is a big, beautiful, crisp (with DVD as input) picture with (on my unit) no weak spots or dead pixels. Heck, I had a little tube tv before that had no highs or lows when it came to sound, so this tv beats the crap out of that too! If you're thinking of switching over from tube to LCD, this is definately the one to do it with. It is not the best (no 1080p), or the easiest to use, but it is a good tv for a price you won't have any remorse about.

5 of 5 Great HDTV at a Great Price! Thursday, March 01, 2007
Matt @ Solarice from Whitehall, PA
I researched this a lot before buying it because it was going to be my for my living room and will be used a lot. I found out that despite a few negatives about the remote I decided to buy it and I am very happy that I did! Absolutely brilliant TV but the instructions are pain to get to since they are on the CD but after you figure out the controls it is very very easy to use. Just remember to turn on Home Room and adjust it to the room it is in and remember if you do not have a cable box from your cable provider to run a Cable Channel Auto Detect or if you go up and down on the remote it will go to Channel 1 and not go anywhere! Other than that this TV is a must! Cheap price that can't be beat! You will not be sorry for getting this so buy it now!

Although it is a little confusing for setup and programming at first, the picture and sound quality is well worth it. The multi-port I/O connections allows you to connect virtually any device that you may have. Very satisfied!!!!

A Customer from Moorestown, NJ
TV arrived in three days with free shipping, was a bit heavy at 90lbs. but once set up works flawlessly, it geta over 200 channels on regular cable without a converter box. Picture is sharp and crisp. I had previously bought the 26" Olivia and liked that set, but this is better.

BM from Charlotte Hall, Maryland
I am thrilled with the TV. I ordered it on Sunday for standard delivery and it was at my house Tuesday morning. It was exactly as advertised and substanially less expensive than any other site or store that I found and shipping was free. Set up was painless but some of the on-screen programming necessary is a little confusing. I am happy that I used the site, happy with the product and will return for other stuff.

5 of 5 Good value for the money Thursday, February 08, 2007
John from Boston, MA
I bought this TV for my 75 year old mother-in -law as a Christmas gift. She loves the TV - the picture blows her away but she was using a cheap 15 year old 21 inch TV. The only practical down side is the TV complicated and she get lost with all the options - I doubt this will be an issue for a techno savey person.

4 of 5 Excellent Value Thursday, February 08, 2007
A Customer from Atlanta, Ga
This is my 4th Olevia TV. I previously bought the 26" and 27" TV/Monitors which are used on my wife's computer and mine. My computer monitor doubles as a TV for my HTPC. I also have a 32" Olevia located in a bedroom. I was satisfied enough with those to be comfortable picking up the OLVEIA 42" Model LT42HVI, in July '06, for placement in the armoir in my living room. This is the model with the glass cover. My experience is similar to the previous reviewer. I'm completely satisfied with the value for the money ($1499). The HD performance is wonderful and I rarely use any of my TV's for standard broadcast shows. I use cable HDVR's to record programming in HD and 90% of the time watch live HD or what's recorded. I plan to use a Polk Surroundbar as an external speaker, probably attached to a separate surround sound amplifier. I don't consider the internal speakers on any tv sufficient for movie viewing.

5 of 5 Best value out there! Thursday, February 08, 2007
Alex from Pontiac, MI
I raffled one of these off at a SuperGame party. We set it up to show it off and the picture was incredible with minimal adjustment. I used a UHF antenna to pull in the free signal and it looked awesome! I bought it on sale which was the best price going for this size TV with HD tuner (this has both tuners) and this price beats what I paid and it still has no tax! The remote has a ton of controls but is somewhat confusing to figure out. The menu system has a lot to be desired, also. But, at this price, I should buy one two! Also, check out the reviews from a major magazine on this model, a "Best Buy."

4 of 5 Good bang for the buck Saturday, February 03, 2007
Ron C from Haverhill, MA
This LCD shows great in HD at 1080i, I was a little dissapointed with the packaging. I am also having some trouble programming the universal remote control. The directions printed, do not work for the remote control. The LCD has alot of configurations which I am still learning and the options for inputs are plenty which is great. I also like the upgradeability of the firmware through the USB input. The product looks nice in our room. One thing that all buyers of any HD LCD or Plasma should know is that regular TV (non HD) does not show as well or as crisp as it does on a good CRT. So thats a little dissapointing as well. Overall though, I saved a ton of money and I am pleased overall with this product and would recommend it to price conscious consumers.

5 of 5 Steal for the price. Sunday, November 12, 2006
Bob L. from Oceano, CA
I have owned last years OLVEIA 42" Model LT42HVI for almost a year which was purchased $2,000. This has been a great LCD. Zero problems, no pixels sticking. The angle of view is is quit good for a LCD. My friend liked mine so well he drove 150 miles to pick one up for $2,000 as well. He likes the sound of the speakers that came with the OLIVIA but then he does not have a surround sound system to compare to. I removed the bottom speakers giving a plasma look. I have suround sound. The LT42HVI has a lot of glass on the front which does has some reflection problems if you have the window blinds open. I do not think this LCD has any more reflection problems than most plasma TV with a glass surface. With proper placement of the set most of the relection problems are eliminated. The only problem I have had is the 2 HDMI imputs. My satellite provider claims to be having problems with outputing a HDMI signal so I have no way of testing to compare the quality of the HDMI compared to the Component 1.2 inputs. I use the Component inputs on the OLIVIA which has an stellar picture in HDTV via DISH Network VIP 622 HDTV reciever. I am also pleased with the onboard ATSC HD/Digital off air tuner which is doing a great job tuning in stellar over the airwave HD and digital local channels. I would not be afraid to buy another OLIVIA HDTV in the future. A lot of feature and qualifty for the money.
