Really an exceptional deal 
2008-04-07
This television is really an exceptional deal. I had been slow to upgrade to HD in the bedroom, but, after reading reviews in CR (where it was noted as a "Great Buy") I checked it out at a local retailer. I was able to get one for under $1100 and am extremely happy with it. Big, bright, clear, cheap (but not cheaply made)--everything you'd want! I especially appreciate the fact that it was surprisingly easy to set up. I don't have a dish or cable connection in the bedroom, so, I just hooked it up to a very old antenna (probably was used to pick up Ed Sullivan) and the television automatically searched for the channels in my area and presto, up and running in literally under 5 minutes. I live approximately 50 miles from the nearest television towers and all expected channels came in perfect. I'm even receiving a number of channels that I didn't even know where available in our area. The design is nice and understated, although the blue light on the front when the television is turned off is a bit bright for a bedroom (although I think there is a way to turn that off-just haven't figured it out yet). Remote is very nice with soft rubbery keys that have back lighting. I think anyone would be happy with this purchase.
GREAT TV 2008-03-27
This tv is great picture is great and the coolest feature is the split screen feature where you can watch or play to diff things at once. for ex. you can play ps3 and the wii at the same time or you can watch a movie on your hd or blu-ray and have the same movie on your standard player at the same time to see the diff. i love to do that to my friends that say theres no diff between hd and standard. and for $1000 - $1200 you cant and wont find a better tv. trust you dont have to spend the extra 1000 just for a sony, you can get a system for your home theater to go with this tv instead.
Great product for the price!!! 2007-12-21
I got this product during an online special for $1099. After having it for almost a month I have to say the picture quality for the HD channels are amazing. I also own Sharp LCD, and Olevia has better picture quality than my Sharp. The SD channels are not that great, but who buys a 1080P to watch SD channels right :). I didn't get a chance to test 1080P resolution yet but once I get my HDDVD player (hopefully for x-mas) I will add the comments for that as well. For me it was a great deal...
Excellent LCD for the price... 2007-12-04
I got the 47" Olevia 247tfhd from circuit city thanksgiving online deal for $1100 . I did not really know what to expect but the deal was too good to miss.
This TV turned out excellent. It has very natural colors. LCD screen is actually build by sharp. HDTV looks perfect. Sound is very good, much better than what you would expect for the price. Menu system is nice when you get used to it. Built quality is good. My only complaint is that I could not program its remote to my comcast remote.
I would recommend this tv without hesitation.
Great picture, only flaw is can't setup other remotes with it 2007-12-02
Bought this elsewhere day before Thanksgiving, price was amazing including a 10% off coupon putting it below $1,000. Nice picture, would like to find remote code for it so I can use my cable remote or a universal.

RS-232 control enables you to connect your Olevia HDTV to a home entertainment system. Once you see the new Olevia, you'll agree that you've never seen HDTV like this!
Great TV for the price! 2007-11-27
Amazing TV for the value. TV looked great out of the box but even better once I fidgeted with the picture controls. SD content over my cable box looked surprisingly good. I have this connected to my xbox360 and HD content looks great. Don't be fooled by the name, this TV is easily comparable to TVs that are thousands more.
Very very happy... 2007-11-26
Great picture and a great price. Very very happy... Once the HD cable box was set up we just sat and watched Discovery Chanel for hours. Football is great too. Check out the reviews at Consumer Report and Wired. Both places rate Olevia TVs highly and this TV as their best buy.
***You will want to save the box because if you have a problem with the TV you will be asked to send it to the factory for a replacement. These TVs have a sealed case and can not be repaired at your house.***
