I'm looking at buying the Olevia 747i LCD HDTV 47" badboy from Tigerdirect...

Its well priced and the specs seem spot on... but scince its a new company I'm not sure how they perform...

Has anyone had any experience with? or Olevia TV's at all?

Heres the Link: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...571&CatId=3650

Thanks.

I believe they are actually built by Samsung or Sanyo can't remember which.
After doing google search I found out I don't know what the hell I'm talking about so Ignore.

Specs somehow mean nothing with tvs, a sony or samsung screen will always look better than a hanspree (or whoever) tv, regardless of the specs.

I'd try to see one in the flesh first if possible, it's the only way to tell. The reviews seem pretty good though, might just be worth a punt... How bad can it be?

I agree completely. The contrast ratio in particular seems to suffer badly with these cheaper brands...

The 1,600:1 contrast ratio is extremely low, hence the low price. At that size, you want something with at least 10,000:1.

Wicked, thanks for all the input everyone

I thought Their was something wrong when the price was that low, with that big of a tv,

so, 10,000:1 on a 42" and higher is good? or 47" and higher? I'm looking for a big TV, originally was gunna get a 50" or higher, but saw this deal, and thought I couldn't turn it down.

Any suggestions?

Thanks again
