5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value, November 10, 2006

This review is from: Olevia 532H 32-Inch LCD HDTV (Electronics)

I did a lot of research and finally settled on the Olevia 532H, mainly because of the price. From what I could tell the feature set was comparable with higher priced name brands but about 30 or 40% less expensive. So far I am extremely happy. The SD picture is an improvement over my 12 year old Sony 27 in. tube (which by the way is still going strong, just relocated to another room). I bought an indoor HD antenna, tuned in the local over-the-air HD channels and it was great. If you are not a videophile or worried about brand names, but just want to get started with a reasonably priced HDTV, you should consider this one. I gave it 5 stars based on value. If I was just considering features, I probably would have gone with 4.

4.0 out of 5 stars Picture and sound are good, but setup is unnecessarily complicated., March 1, 2007

This review is from: Olevia 532H 32-Inch LCD HDTV (Electronics)

Olevia doesn't make setup of this TV as simple as it should be. Not only is a printed manual not provided, but the on-screen setup menu is the least intuitive menu I've ever worked with.

Our TV reception is satellite via Dishnetwork. I also recently purchased a Sharp Aquos LCD TV, and setup for that was a breeze -- plug it in, attach coaxial cable, turn it on, and it does the rest iteself. Easy and quick.

But after connecting this set to the coaxial cable and plugging it in, I couldn't get a picture or sound. I read through the manual-on-CD and tried the on-screen menu -- no help. I finally searched through Olevia's website -- and found step-by-step instructions. About 10 steps via the remote are required. Very nice that the info was there, but it also should be in the manual! The reason for this is, according to their website, that the TV as it is shipped is set for showrooms, NOT consumers. Ergo all the extra 10 or so steps that ARE NOT DESCRIBED IN THE CD MANUAL. If you get this set, do this: bypass the manual and the on-screen menu during installation and go straight to their website instead.

Okay, besides that, the TV is fine. I've only had it a day and have no other complaints or problems. However, it makes no sense to me why Olevia would prepare their TVs for showrooms and not consumers.

Note: I chose this item based on Consumer Reports ratings. Also, I didn't purchase it from Amazon, but instead from another online vendor. I'm curious if others who did purchase via Amazon had similar experiences with their Olevia LCD TVs.

This review is from: Olevia 532H 32-Inch LCD HDTV (Electronics)

I have had unit for 90 days, "Love it".. after much research on line finally gave it and ordered for Football season. I did get the new 532H model before much info out on it or it was avaliable everwhere. It was well worth the wait and research. This TV is fantastic, excellent Color, Picture, easy to set up and controls to straight up. The only negative is the lack of manual.. I did download the PDF version from web site but would prefer professonal publication. I did encounter a few OS&?? when connceting to Dish HD box, Non HD Combo DVD and Surrond sound system
But overall fantasitc unit, $ for $ the Olevia is a steal. Amazon.. JR excellent service.
