If you're a thrifty TV shopper, Olevia's 537H LCD HDTV deserves consideration. It's put together well, carries a low price ($1499 as of September 8, 2006), and offers a pleasant viewing experience

Great picture ; Many features

On-screen Menu is not always straight forward ; Odd brand, not supported on any universal remotes (have not even had luck with u-remote learning functions) ; Sensitive to good power source

I was a little bit nervous about buying a recertified TV but it worked out to be a great purchase. The picture is great, lots of inputs (including 2 HDMI inputs), sound is not too bad and if you want better sound, you can use some sort of home theatre...

My only real problem with this TV is that the IR remote codes seem to be proprietary so unless you have a learning remote, you won't be able to use a universal remote to control the TV. Furthermore, the TV remote is supposed to be able to control a...

WOW!!! got this tv for cheap, under 700 including shipping ; picture is great and xbox 360 looks awsome. going to hook up cheap media pc because i heared that vga on this tv looks great. remote is easy top use

sound suxs, u need sound system because these speakers suck ; when bass on tv is up you can hear this type of low tone noise when people talm on tv and i cant stand it, bass is turned low and treble is about half way. tv base is a pain to remove. now i...

Great picture, and really decent sound. Very easy to set up

Changing Channels is slow and it does get annoying, but if you have a cable box, then it depends on your cable provider. The menu options are difficult to understand/browse through, but if you play around with them you will get used to them

Great picture and the one thing I couldn't find out online. Playing Guitar Hero/Rock Band is no issue, lag is not enough to warrant an adjustment in the game

Takes a while to turn on. Doesn't pass through HDMI 5.1 audio through optical output

Have had this set for about 6 months now, and have had no problems. The picture is really great for the price how can you beat it? All the color options make this really easy get the picture just how you want it

The only thing that scares me is the noise it makes when turning on and off, also one HDMI is annoying

Even picture, perfect amount of inputs and outputs. Menu is a little tricky but is set up well once you get used to it

SVideo input is a little grainy, but looks great for games and HD

Great picture, easy enough UI, good amount of options, Inputs for anything I needed. A great TV for a great price

if it turned on ; Power issues: It worked for a week before it refused to turn on again. The blue light on the front was lit but pushing any power button did nothing. I also got an occasional electrical crackling sound out of it while trying to turn it...
