Olevia 332H 32 in. TV

Pros: Price to performance ratio.  Quality.
Cons: No digital tuner or the latest in video technology.

Over two years ago, my family was looking for one of those flat panel LCD TVs that we could use in our family room to replace an ancient 26" CRT TV that was showing signs of age.  At the time, the Olevia 332H LCD TV was the least expensive TV ...

Pros: Excellent price Awesome picture quality Styling Overall solid unit
Cons: Limited inputs, no fronts, only one per type.

Olevia has created a 'rockstar' at this price point with this unit. I've been waiting for several years to buy a low cost yet good quality hidef lcd tv. The wait was no fun, but the reward was wonderful! The 332H is a 32in 'LCD HDTV READY ...

Pros: Light television, good image, easy to set up, good price
Cons: Low contrast ratio makes darker environments hard to see, only 1 HDMI/component hookup

So about a year ago I started getting higher end video game systems (it started with an Xbox 360) and I wanted to upgrade from my 27" tube television to an HDTV. This started a search through various places with a very reluctant wife of mine, before we ...

Pros: -great SD/HD quality, advanced options, unbeatable price, firmware upgradeable
Cons: -takes some picture adjustments, not many inputs, sound's weak. All little quabbles!

This TV is a great addition to my home theater. The 32" size is a sweet spot between price and utility, at least for me. I held high expectations for this TV, and they were all met by the time I had fiddled with the brightness, contrast, color and such. ...

Pros: Very clear picture, very low price
Cons: No tv tuner, not the best sound quality

I bought my Olevia 332H tv in December and it was on sale for $550. I also bought the 3 year warranty for another $60. The setup took a little longer than expected, because there were so many wires in the back, and the instruction manual was not ...

Pros: Price, picture quality
Cons: not many inputs, not compatible with universal remotes (yet)

I did a lot of research before purchasing this TV because I had never heard of Olevia before. I found this at Comp USA on sale right after christmas of 2006 for $550 which was a great deal at the time. It was on the shelf right next to the 32" Samsung so ...

Pros: Inexpensive, seemingly good quality for a very low price. Great customer service.
Cons: Having had the problem with two sets, it seems that the sound problem is model-wide.

I purchased this TV via an online vendor a few months ago. I was thrilled with the TV & price for a couple of months, until the sound on the TV cut out and wouldn't come back. I had a great experience dealing with Olevia's technical support, and received a new TV fairly quickly. I had the new set for about 3 weeks when the same thing happened again--I turned on the TV and the sound didn't work. Tech support and I went through everything we could think of both times--cables, settings, etc.--and can't find a user-related reason why this would happen. It has to be more than a coincidence, so despite the many good things about the TV for the price and the good customer service I have to advise against getting this set. The model seems to have some sort of sound problem that can't be fixed.

Pros: Great picture, great price, high Consumer Reports rating
Cons: Must use manufacturers remote control or have a "learning" remote.

I've only had the TV about 2 weeks, so I cannot say how long it will last, but so far, we are ecstatic about the purchase! Great picture. Sound is OK, not better or worse than average TV sound. I cannot tell the difference between this $550 set and a $1000 one. We get HDTV through our digital cable service, so we had no need for an internal tuner -- so why pay for one. If you need a tuner, this is not the model for you. This set was rated highly by Consumer Reports (their Best Buy), and it is by far the cheapest one out there. We got it $518 (delivered) at 6th Ave. Similar models were $550 at Circuit City (232, has a tuner) and Office Depot. The one drawback is that this brand is so new that no universal remotes (or very few) recognize it yet. So you must use the one the comes with the TV in addition to your cable or universal remote.
