Olevia 432V 32" LCD TV

Syntax Olevia 432V 32

Strengths: Excellent hi-def picture; good contrast ratio; no motion blur; use as either TV or monitor; built-in ATSC & QAM tuner; light weight; easy to set up via on-screen menu; outstanding value at low price.

Weakness: None.

At around $600 or less (if you can find it for that price) this is an excellent value by any measure. Easily as good a picture as many 32" LCD TV's in the more typical $800 - $1000 price range, and better than some higher-priced competitors. I use this as a computer monitor via its VGA connection and as a TV via its HDMI connection. This is my 2nd Olevia LCD TV; my first one is a 27" that I use...

Olevia 432V 32" LCD TV

Strengths: User friendly; good picture quality; built in tuner

Weakness: Some cable connections are difficult to get to; no user's manual...just CD rom

We bought this TV mainly for its height. We have a very short built in cabinet in our bedroom, so it was difficult for us to find a TV that was under 22.5" high. This TV looks great and fits almost perfectly. The price was better than any we had researched and it was delivered straight to our home. We are very satisfied with this purchase.

Olevia 432V 32

Strengths: This is a very good LCD TV, good price, nice features, ATSC/NTSC combo Tuner, good time response (8 ms).

Weakness: Manual only on the CD-rom. I prefer Black TV's instead of Silver ones.

I bought this 32" LCD TV for my bedroom and it is a very good LCD TV, good quality, good price, nice features like, ATSC / NTSC combo Tuner, good time response (8 ms), good video inputs. I also use this LCD TV as my desktop monitor and I like it. Good option for this price range.

Olevia 432V

Strengths: Excellent picture quality for the price. Very user friendly menus. Sound quality is good.

Weakness: No printed user manual--must access from included CDRom. Remote functions are a little slow and sensitive.

I looked at a lot of sets before buying this one and the picture on this set easily compares to hi-def tvs selling for hundreds of dollars more. Despite what I've read elsewhere, I think the sound quality is actually very good. This might represent the best bang for your buck of the current lot of 32 inch hi-def tvs.

A Nice Piece of Work

Strengths: Very good Price, VGA input, nice display

Weakness: Have to cycle thru sources to switch between VGA, tv, etc. Lacks PIP.

Like another reviewer, I had some specific height concerns. I wanted it on the counter, under some wall cabinets and the space I had was absolute. The sleek, low silhouette with the speakers on each side was what I was looking for. The display was nice and crisp, the VGA looked much better than I had anticipated. The tv puts out some nice sound. They're tv speakers alright, but they represent...

Syntax Olevia 432V 32"

Strengths: Great Picture Price Value

Weakness: Remote is very slow to respond

The Olevia 432V is an excellent value for what you get. Picture quality is excellent compared to comparably priced sets. The vertical speakers make for better sound but you sacrifice with a larger width was very happy with the tuner on this set as it picked up non scrambled HD channels from my std cable feed.The menu system is a bit awkward as you must scroll through several options to get were...

Syntax Olevia 432V 32

Strengths: Price, light weight, picture quality fine, no dead pixels, extremely easy hookup, no trees killed to print the manual as it is on CD!

Weakness: Silver in color, horrible on screen menu, remote control very responsive to some commands, yet unresponsive to others. Annoying bright blue light when set it turned OFF.

I guess the blue light is so you can find the TV in the dark. Don't waste your money on the HDMI cable. Get the much cheaper R/B/B composite cables instead. In retrospect, I should have gone with a much larger set. When viewing in standard mode the image is the size of a 27" TV, so if you are used to something larger, go for the 37" or 42". This does make a nice "second TV" though. Use caution if...

Olevia 432V 32

Strengths: Price, picture quality, built-in HD tuner

Weakness: Remote control range/sensitivity, no hardcopy manual

I purchased this TV for bedroom, at what I think was a very good price for the unit ($650). Picture quality is great and sound is sufficient. Certainly no replacement for a separate sound system, but sometimes the replicated surround sound is so good I look around my room for the other speakers -- uncanny. My big complaint is the remote. It seems to have several problems: 1) range, 2)...

Olevia 432V 32" LCD TV Review -- good product for...

Strengths: - affordable - picture quality is good - the design is nice

Weakness: - sound I'm not so happy with (sometimes it takes a while for the volume to adjust to what you request from the remote)

I'm glad I got this TV because for this price you can't get any other brand that has this picture quality. Now I wish I would have gotten the 37" :(

Olevia 32" LCD TV

Strengths: Good picture quality

Weakness: TV remote is very sensitive

Only problem we had was connecting the cables (it was tough to connect everything because cables were very close together and tight). The TV takes a while to turn on and the remote doesn't seem to respond as quickly as others we have used. Otherwise, the picture is great and it is one of the few TV's we were able to find with a height that worked for us (our built in cabinet is a tight squeeze...
