davekeim Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 TV is a TV. They're all made in the same place. Buy it! Signed, Cardiac Abdito! Another Beautiful Day In The Ozarks
WebFreeman Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Just bought one (2 hours ago). So far, so good. I got a 32" at KMart for $420.

Thom Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 I am not sure about the Olivia but I purchased a vizio about a year ago and I am really pleased with the quality of the picture and the features. Even thought all are made in the same place there are lots of difference in the quality of the sets. I purchased my vizio after looking at the customer comments online and found that anything 37 in down had rave reviews of customer satisfaction. Wallmart offers a 32 in vizio at the regular price that is very competitive and has good contrast and pictle numbers. It also has good connective features HDMI inputs which will be important after 2009 in order to get connected without hanging 9 cords to the back of your set. It also has compostite video in case you want to go to external speakers and some have pc inputs for hooking up a computer or vcr with a hard drive. Thom Harvengt
creek wader Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 The boy has a 42" vizio plasma. Has had it for about a year now. So far no problems, he loves it. wader
3wt Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 I got the Olevia you're probably talking about from Target on Friday. So far so good...good deal, hope you got in line in time.
back2roots Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Olevia is making a better name for themselves. A few years ago they were a little "iffy". They still aren't on the same level as Sony, Panasonic etc....but they don't try to be. Like eveyone else said......so far so good...buy it. Bill If you liked the sound....Thank the engineer!
flyfshn Posted November 29, 2007 Author Posted November 29, 2007 3wt....bought one too. Didn't open the box until I went to the library and checked Consumer Reports, which ranked them #2 in 37". The model in CR was 537T, so I called Olevia and spoke to a tech who told me the only difference was a lighted remote and a few additional adjustments you can make. So far so good....has a really good picture without HD from Direct TV Fish On! Mike Utt “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.

3wt Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 I'm lovin mine. I saw before black friday that it was rated as one of the best HD deals...So I can't take credit for knowing squat about 'em. Now I just wish DVD's would do the picture justice. When will the HDDVD/Blueray thing ever be settled?
