Strengths: Built-in HD tuner, Multifunction remote, Firmware upgradeable Price
Weakness: Humming, Startup time
I generally rely pretty heavily on reviews before I buy so I will try to be thorough for your benefit. The good news: You get a built in HD tuner. Even though these are pretty much standard these days, there are still many units that do not have them. I am very pleased with the display of standard definition content. I have plain-Jane, basic, analog cable. The set handles this just about as well...
Strengths: Everything
Weakness: Cant Program my remote to my DirecTV receiver
This TV has everything any gamer can actually need. 2 component outputs and an HDMI input. For your Wii, Xbox 360 and if you bought it PS3. Picture is amazing and watching movies at 480p is ever better. I dont think i will upgrade to a HD-DVD player because DVD's work fine for me. The Sound is amazing as well heck it may not have a built in Surround system but it sounds pretty good to me. I have...
Strengths: Picture quality & value.
Weakness: Most old folks find the new TVs (including this one)a little complicated.
Had a 32 in my budget but found the 37 on an on-line deal site for $725 total delivered from Fry's. Thought it was too good to be true especially when I received the backorder email shortly after ordering(Dec 2006). I was shocked when it arrived in a new unopened box in Jan 07. Had to wait a month to get the HD receiver from Time Warner but once it was all hooked up the picture quality & detail...
Strengths: great picture quality, good price, built in ASTC and clear QAM tuner, upgradeable firmware
Weakness: takes about 10 seconds to turn on after pressing power button; annoying blue led light stays on when TV is off
The Olevia 537H is a great buy. You get a lot of bang for your buck here with superb picture quality, lots of a/v inputs, and the best of all - a built in clear QAM tuner for receiving HDTV signals from your cable without a cable box. As others have mentioned, it takes longer than normal for the tv to actually turn on (about 10 seconds), but once it's on, you won't want to turn it off. The blue...
Strengths: Excellent Picture Quality. HD is beuatiful and Standard TV is also excellent. I've read, researched, and seen for myself and this TV is by far the best deal on the net! I've been using it for 1 month
Weakness: There are NONE. Do not hesitate like I did. GET IT
I own a 50" Sony rear projection LCD too. The olevia is in my bedroom. I like the olevia better! The picture is brighter, colorful, and just oh so sweet. My sony rocks too but this tv is tight! If your picture flickers a bit at the top on some channels, you can adjust the screen in the menu to move up a hair and it goes away. I think it was my cable. Worked beautifully!
Strengths: This TV is a great buy for the money! Very happy with picture quality and screen size (not too big and not too small).
Weakness: The shortfalls are not too bad. The sound has gone out a few times (I use a separate sound system so not a big deal)and there is no universal remote to use with this TV.
This TV is a good buy - the 37" is not too small! It survived the trip from California with only a small hole poked in the container - was packaged well. Out of the box, it was nothing to hook up to the satellite cable and play around with the remote until I got the program signal. The LCD picture is a great change from the old pixel TV's - I won't go back! After a few weeks a sound problem...
Strengths: Low cost, great picture quality, 1080i, lots of inputs
Weakness: menu is not user-friendly, not reliable, only 1 hdmi input
I currently purchased this TV due to the low cost and word of mouth. Picture quality was great for SD/HD/DVD. Video games also played great with no lag. Had it running for nearly 1 month when all of a sudden it shut off by itself. Was unable to power it back on after trying all there solutions on olevia.com Calling for warranty replacement was exhausting as I had to wait a long time for someone...
Strengths: TV itself looks good, picture is great, TV is light, sound is good
Weakness: Going through the source inputs takes a little time, longer start-up time is less of an issue
This HDTV has more than met my expectations. It looks great and the picture is great. It has very vibrant colors, and the dark colors (black) looks pretty dark to me. The TV is also very thin and light for its size. It also has plenty of inputs and has a optical and coaxial output. I haven't tested the sound (from the coaxial output) fully on my sound system yet. Also, I have and play the Wii and...
Strengths: Built in QAM tuner
Weakness: Remote
I absolutely love the picture quality of this 37" HD LCD. Both standard and high definition signals look great. The built-in QAM tuner enables you to receive unencrypted HD signals from your cable company without a separate box. Only weakness is the remote; the menu system doesn't give me all of the options I've become accustomed to on other HD TV's I own. Overall I'm very satisfied with my...

Excellent Buy ...and the blue light people talk...
Strengths: Great picture, excellent price, good sound
Weakness: One HDMI input, PIP
The TV is excellent. Very good picture and surprisingly good sound. It does have a subwoofer output. This is nice if you choose to stick with the TV speaker, just hook up a powered woofer to it and you will have very nice sound. The menu take a few minutes to get the hang of, but once you get it, it is fairly simply and easy to use. The remote is fine, it could be nicer but you could also be...
