Great TV: 65 Inches - no issues December 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.

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.
