Great TV: 65 Inches - no issuesDecember 27, 2008 We got this TV in August. No regrets. We had been looking for an LCD and I knew my prices. My hubby walked into BJ Wholesale and saw this Olevia- (new to us) on the floor. Floor model- was $1,999. It has been perfect. Heavy for sure and it took 3 neighbors to help. But perfect everyday since we have had it. I want another- but that price was meant to be.
Broken out of the Box and Poor Customer ServiceSeptember 23, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
We bought this 220lb TV in late August and after we got it set up and out of the packaging it didn't even turn on. We called Olevia's customer service, (who sound like the most depressed people ever) and they told us that they would replace it in a few days. They would send someone to pick up the old one in 2 days, and they would send a new one. All we had to was fax them the receipt which we did that day. Well, I'm looking at the old tv still sitting in front of me weeks later. Olevia's tech supports gives us the run around and hung up on me after I asked to talk to a manager. In the future I will stick with Samsung.
Great TV !!August 11, 2008 7 out of 9 found this review helpful
I purchased this TV 3 weeks back. paid 2326 + tax+ shipping on SC Auctions. Was little skeptical about the purchase, hence didn't commit to the payment. The local SC didn't have a display of this TV hence travelled 70-miles to see the TV before committing to pay. The TV was displayed with 12-13 TVs and probably looked better than most except Sony 52-inch, which was only marginally better probably due to its smaller size. It's no brainer that a same pic-feed will look better on a smaller display. Well after playing with the remote, I decided to go for it.
Some people have mentioned about the company having financial trouble. Well, let me tell you that this flat panel industry is very competitive and many good brands are making losses. Olevia is a reputed brand and once had the best LCOS TV, even better than Sony SXRD. In fact Olevia are the official owners for LCOS technology.JVC IDLA, Sony SXRD, Canon LCOS projectors are based on this same technology.
Coming to the performance of the TV- probably has the best video-processing even comparable to Sony and Pioneer. The processor is by SiliconOptix Realta HQV which is one of the best in the industry. There is no banding, no dead pixel. The picture is crisp and beautiful. The screen has matte finish hence almost no light reflections. The Olevia marketing team is really done a poor job. Put this TV in Best-buy, Circuit city and this TVs are going to disappear within no time. The only drawback this unit, I could think of is, very minimal backlight bleeding from the corners, which is not at all distracting. This is only visible if you are watching during night or in dark room and if the pic is widescreen. The contrast ratio is good; But not as good as plasma or LED Backlight LCDs. The TV is bright and no problem watching with lights on. I have tried blue-ray and HD-DVDs and both look awesome. I have seen Sharp 65-inch TV (both have same LCD panel) and this TV has better video-processing and is half the cost.
This is my 3rd flat panel, and I can say that this is the best one. I have never written a review before, but after reading few reviews on this website, which, I think are unfair for this great TV, I decided to write.
This TV is very heavy but really well built. I wouldn't consider this a weakness. A 65-inch TV is not going to be moved from place to place. You will need a real good stand or a strong wall-mount and help from at least 2-3 friends.
My suggestion to all, don't make your decision based on big brand names. Go to Sam's Club and see this TV yourself and make your decision. Don't blame this TV if you are not able to properly set it up. Some times setting up HDMI is confusing and many times one gets stuck, many times its only a minor issue, please don't blame this TV for your ignorance.
Value is subjectiveApril 18, 2008 13 out of 18 found this review helpful
My wife and I bought this from a local warehouse. At first we thought it would fit in our SUV, no sir, not close. Now I guess had we removed the item from the box it would fit just nicely but I didn't want to take the chance. We paid a little under $2800.00 for this thing. Now, I am no professional videophile mind you but I do have my share of technology gleaming in my loft from A Playstation 3 to even an old HDDVD player which is now a coaster these days I suppose. Sad. I have this on a tv table because putting it up on a wall scares the you know what out of me. I compared this set to others at the store but it is not a very good method of comparing since all tv's must be calibrated and all of the tv's at the stores are not so take what you see at the store with a grain of salt. With that out there the unit looked OK at the store. Not super, not great, OK. When we came home I got my neghbor to come out and help me out which he did (he owes me so may favors). We took this monster in, set it up, connected the HDMI cable and hit CLICK and then NOTHING. HUH? OK, I must of screwed up someplace. I checked the power cord,ok, I checked power to the MONSTER power conditioner, A-OK there. See me scratching my head this time. We looked , we checked, we pulled, we plugged in, plugged out, and could not figure things out. We tried calling Syntax but nope, closed up, guess they had to cut some payroll to save some cash. We tried a extension cord though we knew there was power. Nope. It just sort of stared at us with a blank look which is understandable as the screen was blank. We loaded it up, took it back the next morning. Got another one. No problem, this is going to work great and the gane is on in 2 hours. We get some beer, get home, take it out, set it up again and hit power. WOW, it worked so the first tv was just bad. I messed with the colors but I kept getting this faint in the middle that would not go away. I tried every adjustment and the line was still there. Think of a fishing line across the tv and you get the idea. I read the manual and nothing on the lines. We watched the game with this line on it. My neighbor probably went home and told his wife that I bought junk. I can see him now. I got ahold of Olevia the next day and after a mind crunching 35 minutes to get someone the guy told me to take it back. I said-what? I took one back yesterday for being bad. The guy said to me that it is possible I got two bad units and was not much help beyond that. In fact he was a little rude and snobish too. Oh well. I called my neighbor again. We took the tv back and this time picked up something else. What good is 65' if it is just going to be bad or going to go bad later on I ask you? This is what I get for trying to save some money. I have been hearing it from my wife since and my neighbor still asks if I plan on buying a 80" tv that don't work some day. Punk! Not sure if my luck is very bad but I read some others had similar problems so I would give the recommedation to buy a brand name tv and not something like this that will go out later. This is is heavy too. My back hurt after all the traveling with it. Thats my take so take it or not. Peace.
