Olevia 265TFHD 65" LCD TV

Pleasantly surprised!!

Strengths: Great price for the size. Crystal clear picture.

Weaknesses: Weight

Summary: Purchased Friday at Sam's Club for $2994.00. Had to be loaded on my truck by a forklift. We had quite a time getting it on the entertainment center. But after watching it all weekend, this TV was worth the wrestling match. It has a crystal clear picture, wide viewing angle and wonderful sound. Watched the Lord of the Rings trilogy Sunday, noticed no motion blurr whatsoever. Setup was a bit confusing, directions need to be more detailed. After a couple of calls to tech support I was well pleased. Best viewed over 12ft away.

Olevia 65" LCD TV

Strengths: Clear sharp, bright picture, with great color.

Weaknesses: Very, very heavy. You will need a very strong TV Stand.

Summary: I have had mine for about 4 months now, with no problems at all. I needed a large screen, due to the viewing distance, and this filled the bill. I was a little hesitant about buying an Ovevia, because I had never heard of this brand. So far, I couldn't be happier with my decision. I would strongly recommend this set to anyone looking for a large screen HDTV.

Take a Good Look At This Set

Strengths: Crisp clear picture, Size, Price, Realta HQV

Weaknesses: Weight. This weighs a ton. Make sure you have a few strong men to help. A bit difficult when changing settings understanding what they all mean and what some will do.

Summary: Anyone looking for a large LCD should really take a good look at this set. The price is amazing for a 65" set. The picture is crisp, bright and overall pretty awesome.

The Realta HQV is great.

If you have a good source being fed to the set, it will shine for you. If you don't, you might be a bit disappointed since the Olevia is one of the first 1080p displays to judge flaws in the broadcasters chain. This display really show you just how good or crappy HD broadcasts can be. Other displays homogenize and obscure the actual quality.

Olevia 65" LCD 265TFHD

Strengths: The price is hard to overlook. Check buying group stores in your area and compare to New York and on line pricing. A no other 65" LCD has a peer in this price point. Am extremely satisfied.

Weaknesses: One HDMI port but this is sufficient. If in doubt purchase the additional in home warranty for 3 additional years.

Summary: Sets the price bar for 65" LCD technology. The biggest problem I've had so far is finding an articulating or swivel wall mount for it. It weighs 190 pounds without the base. Can find no fault.

Olevia 65 " LCD TV

Strengths: Price and Options.

Weaknesses: Weight.

Summary: The Olevia 65" LCD TV is a great value. Picture in a Picture and Split Screen are nice features. The only downside it is very heavy and takes to strong people to move it. I thing I didn't care for was the placement of the hookup for the cable tv was hard to get to but other than that overall very pleased. Had to call customer service with a slight problem with the install and they were very helpful. This is the 2nd Olevia set I owned and would Highly recommend them.

I FINALLY GOT ONE!

Strengths: Solid all metal bezel, dual tuner with PIP

Weaknesses: heavy, only 2 HDMI inputs, menu takes time to get use to, cheap non backlit remote. no 120hz refresh rate.

Summary: 2008-12-25 06:21:58 I picked it up a local BJ's for just $2499 after having my eyes on it almost a year and a have. I narrowed it down to the Olevia and the ShaRp 65". This unit it's heavy due to the almost entirely metal construction, instead of plastic. It has a dual tuner capable of displaying HD signal simultaneously. The picture looks as good and as any other major model. The only couple of things that I wish Olevia had done better was to include a better designed universal remote with backlit capabilities. My other 42" less expensive, Olevia came with a much better remote. The lack of a third or even a forth HDMI input is plain annoying. It has limited me to plug only my satellite box and my Blu-ray player via HDMI and place my XBOX on component video. The menu interface must be the worst in the TV industry. All Olevias have a funny Roller-Deck like design that takes getting used to. Lastly, Olevia claims a 6 ms response rate, but slight ghosting can be noticed during fast moving images. Overall this TV set is at this price is just too good to ignore. Highly recommended!

A great TV

Strengths: This TV is everything I hoped for. It has all of the features I was looking for, and the picture is great, not to mention the great price.

Weaknesses: The TV is heavy, but two men lifted it in place without a problem.

Summary: 2008-09-23 11:39:35 I love it, love it, love it. My living and dining rooms are quite long, so I can see the full picture standing in my kitchen and looking across the two rooms.
