Anyone have experience with Olevia HDTVs?

**dommo_g** · 12-01-2007, 04:56 PM

I picked up an Olevia 32" LCD tv on Thanksgiving day. Model 232-V. Retails for $700 at the store, I picked it up for $420, plus $40 for a 2 year extended warranty. I haven't taken it out of the box yet, because I'm not sure if I want to even mess with it. I'm not sure of the quality. If I keep it, I'll probably put it in my bedroom, or put it in the study to hook up the Xbox and Wii to it.

If I don't keep it, I'll see if I can put it on craigslist and make a couple hundred bucks off it.

What do you guys think?

Here's the model:

it is a great TV for what you said you will do with it.....bedroom or rec room TV. but anything at Wal Mart certainly isn't what you want to center a home theater around.

i got me a cheap ass 26" Westinghouse LCD for the bedroom too, but you paid less than i did for a bigger TV, nice find man.

Yeah, that thread tells it all. It's basically a disposable television, but it sounds like you got a really good deal on it.

Well....there was another thread somewhere where people were talking about buying a cheap TV, and they were reading the reviews on it and said that it got really good reviews. My comment to that was something along the lines of "People who buy a HDTV from Wal Mart aren't really in a position to be judging TVs with any degree of expertise." So lol @ me for buying a cheap TV when I was making fun of the people who do. The only reason I bought this TV was because it was 32", and it was a hair over $400. I figured at the least I could make a few bucks off it. I'll have to look into that Kmart 2 year warranty that I bought and see if it's a replacement warranty or a repair warranty.
