Named Best TV in Wired Magazine’s Test Issue
The award-winning 47-inch 1080p Olevia(TM) 747i LCD HDTV received Wired's "Best of Test" distinction over other LCD and plasma TVs from Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, Toshiba, Polaroid, Philips, Westinghouse and Vizio. Receiving the highest rating of nine out of ten, the Olevia 747i also received high marks from Wired for its upscale aesthetics, high-quality removable speakers, its myriad of picture, audio and set-up controls, and programmable remote.
“It's smarter, with a killer video-processing chip that helped it ace all our tests, syncing up and smoothing out the noisiest screwball video we threw its way. Our Blu-ray movie was theater-quality, with a sharp-yet-natural, noise-free picture and vivid, well-balanced color. We loved its default settings, but Olevia's myriad picture, audio, and setup controls make home-schooling this baby a breeze. Even its sound impressed us, a rarity for flatscreens.” Wired Magazine

Candid Tech
Insight With John G
Olevia makes some great High Definition LCD TVs, and they cost a whole lot less than the competition. The 42-inch Olevia 747i LCD is able to display 1080p native signals and has a whole bunch of onboard technologies that make your cinematic experience truly unforgettable. But I’m a fan of technology that lets you customize according to your individual tastes and needs: The Olevia 747i has two excellent component speakers which attach under the LCD screen, and a built-in connection for a subwoofer. But get this: The speakers can un-attach as well. When you’re ready to switch to a 5-piece home theater surround sound system, you can relegate them to the department of fond memories. If you’re looking for an affordable 1080p native High Definition LCD that has great audio options as well, this is the Television for you.

Had this TV 747i for over 6 months now and just loving it. More than enough inputs. No problems out of the box. Recommended this TV to 5 other people around the same time I bought it and they've bought one and had no problems. It's still a great value for the money even though the ''name brands'' are coming down in price. This one is still much cheaper and much better than the other offerings.

We have absolutely no complaints about this unit. While it is very heavy, it is well worth it to have an easy-to-clean glass front.
The picture is very bright, the quality is superb, there are lots of inputs, and we have had no problems at all in about 3 months of use. I am a broadcast TV colorist, so picture quality is very important to me... In my estimation the Olevia holds its own quite nicely against Sharp, Samsung, Sony, and Panasonic models.
At the time we purchased this, we would have paid over $750 more for the same features in another brand. We put some of the savings into buying an extended service plan from Tiger Direct -- even after extending 3 years of in-home service, we still saved several hundred dollars over a competing brand.
Amazing!

This is a awesome tv! Granted its a little on the heavy side but hey you get a awesome glass screen saver! The picture ranks up there with my sont 1080 that I have in a another room just half the cost! I hooked mine into dish netweork becuase I feel they have a great HD signal and channels and the qulity on this tv with the dish blows my friends away! I like the simple straight forward remote and the menu scrolls arent that hard to get used to just different than the american norm so sometimes it takes awhile for people to adjust to new styles/technology. I will buy another one if they come back into stock!

Our TV quit after 2 months and had to contact the company. What a joke. Customer service level was horrible not very helpful at all and very difficult to understand. I liked the TV when it worked but obviously they have had troubles with this model. They had it picked up yesterday with no shipment date to replace as of yet. Doesn't make me warm a fuzzy that's for sure. God only knows when another will arrive.

Ordered on 8/13, delivered on 8/18, even though initial delivery estimate was for 8/25. Great product. Heavy beast to get up on the wall, but looks great once it's there. My advice is don't get a tilt mount for this, as it's too darn heavy and tends to tilt on its own. Love the glass over the LCD screen - cleans with regular glass cleaner. Resolution on this is amazing! HD cable looks wonderful. Wish it had 3 HDMI inputs, but that's my ONLY complaint. Great TV at an incredible price. TigerDirect, you've done it again!!!

ATSC - Means 2009
Digital TV Ready
Buy with confidence that ATSC TVs are designed for the future! The ATSC Standard for Digital
Television (DTV) encompasses a number of Standards, Practices, and
Guidelines for Digital Television. What it means for today's television
consumer is that ATSC TVs are ready for the future! They comply with
the requirements for the transition to Digital TV sets and all digital
transmission to occur by February 17th, 2009. ATSC Digital Ready TVs
have digital tuners already. TVs and related Tuner products that are
not ATSC will require a separate digital tuner after the transition date.
How Compatible Is HDMI?
HDMI is fully backward compatible with PCs, displays and consumer
electronics devices incorporating the Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
standard. Both HDMI and DVI were pioneered by Silicon Image and are based on
TMDS®, Silicon Image's powerful, high-speed, serial link technology. HDMI
supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel
digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and
supports 8-channel digital audio, and with 5 Gbps of bandwidth, HDMI can
accommodate future enhancements and requirements. Because HDMI was designed
specifically for consumer electronics applications, it offers an array of
additional consumer enhancements. As digital content can manifest itself in
a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, HDMI-enabled systems will
automatically configure to display content in the most effective format. In
addition, if implemented in a specific device, HDMI enables a single remote
point and click, allowing manufacturers to deliver home theater systems that
automatically configure from a single command from a remote control --
turning on or off the components necessary to view a DVD, listen to a CD, or
watch cable or satellite TV.
What is the difference between HDMI 1.3 and HDMI 1.3a, or 1.3b?
For consumers, there is no difference between HDMI version 1.3 and 1.3a or
1.3b. These minor revisions to the specification typically relate to
manufacturing or testing issues and do not impact features or functionality
in a specific product. In addition, HDMI Licensing, LLC is actively working
with manufacturers to reduce confusion for consumers by de-emphasizing
version numbers and focusing instead on product features and functionality.
How can I identify which HDMI products
support a specific feature, such as DVD Audio or Deep Color?
The key for consumers to remember is that HDMI has consistently enabled a
variety of the most innovative new technologies (whether they are DVD Audio,
SACD, 1080p/60, etc.). However, in many cases, it is up to each manufacturer
to choose which features to implement in any given product. The manufacturer
can choose the mix of features that makes sense for its customers and
products. So, customers must choose devices that have the features that they
want (instead of focusing on which version of HDMI is implemented by the
device.). Consumers interested in confirming whether a particular consumer
electronics product supports DVD-Audio or any other feature over HDMI are
urged to review users’ manuals and product reviews, or check with
manufacturers directly.
What Is Firmware Upgradeable?
Many of today's electronics product are designed for today's standards.
Yet like personal computers, they have advanced capabilities that will let
them be upgraded for use with new technologies and standards. The
ability to upgrade the firmware of an electronics product allows you to
extend the useful lifespan of the device you purchase, and be able to expect
support for many (if not all) of the emerging new standards.
What is the difference between Active HDMI and Passive HDMI?
There is no active or passive HDMI in the HDMI specification. These terms
apply to cables. Active cables have built-in electronics to enable long
cable runs, and typically these cables require a power supply. These cables
use active electronics to help push the signal farther than typical passive
cables.
What Is
High Definition And How Is It Different From Standard Definition?
High Definition or "HD" is a
technological leap forward from standard definition, with up to 6x the
picture resolution, so that what you see is sharper and more realistic. Regular TVs and the TV channels you watch
at home are typically in standard definition (unless you watch HD channels).
DVD are also in standard definition. Standard definition (480i & 480p)
is lower quality than high definition. Many older TV sets are standard
def, and can only show standard def content (programming). Many new
TVs are called High Definition TVs (HDTV). They are capable of showing
high def content in: 720p, 1080i, and 1080p, all high definition
formats, but 1080p provides the highest picture quality of them all. Click

A Quick Guide To TV Definition Terms
HDTV - (High Definition) television monitors reveal either 720 progressive
(720p), or a minimum of 1080 interlaced lines, known as 1080i. An HDTV will
show 540 lines at a time. These resolutions create extraordinarily sharp,
lifelike images as well as the truest and most vivid colors ever seen on
a television screen.
EDTV - stands for Enhanced Definition Television. EDTV monitors display
at least 480 progressive lines (480p). Because EDTV shows more lines simultaneously
than SDTV, its pictures are sharper, richer and more realistic. SDTV - Standard Definition TV is what’s rapidly becoming old-fashioned television.
Although SDTV offers a decent picture we’ve grown accustomed to, it
features up to 480 interlaced lines (480i), but can show only 240 of them
at any given time. Although SDTV produces a sharp picture and good color,
its performance is dramatically inferior to HDTV or EDTV.

What Is A
VESA Mount?
A VESA mount is one that has been designed to be compatible with the Flat
Display Mounting Interface (FDMI) Standard. The standard defines all
aspects of the mount dimensions and characteristics, to assure full
compatibility between compliant TV manufacturers and the manufacturers of
compliant or certified mounting hardware.
Remember, if you are looking to mount your monitor or TV on a VESA compatible mount or stand, check the individual product specificiations to make sure it is a VESA Mount compatible device!

About HDTV Viewing Angles
The Viewing Angle of any TV is an important specification. The wider
the viewing angle, the more enjoyable your experience. Viewing angles
above 150° means you can view your TV from a reasonable range - from the
front and off to the sides. However, viewing angles above 170° are
best! Many of today's Plasma and LCD HDTVs offer viewing angles of
178°, and their images do not suffer from degradation at very high viewing
angles. LCD TVs were originally designed for a one user
experience, as a computer monitor, but the technology has kept pace with the
demands for ever increasing viewing angles, and most offer excellent viewing
experiences. Between LCD and Plasma; Plasma TVs have the advantage,
but by a small margin.
Viewing angles are not an issue with
projectors because the light source is coming from in front of the screen,
and not from behind. However, the surface on which you project (screen or
wall surface) may have a slight impact on viewing angles, so it is important
to choose the best screen possible.
TechTip:
Cleaning Your LCD Monitor or TV
Now that you have your new LCD Monitor or Widescreen TV, it is important to
use the right products to clean it. The wrong cleaner can damage the
surface of your display. However, there are many new cleaning products on the market designed especially for
LCD displays. We recommend using a soft, lint-free cloth and a special LCD
cleaner. (You can also use a cleaner that
contains any of the following: Water, Vinegar (mixed with water), or Isopropyl alcohol). BUT Do Not Use cleaners that contain any of the following agents: Acetone, Ethyl alcohol, Ethyl acid, Ammonia, Methyl chloride!
Important:
Do not spray any liquids directly on the LCD screen. Always apply the
solution to your cloth first, not directly to the parts you are cleaning.
Always use a soft cotton cloth. Some materials, such as paper towels or old
rags can cause scratches and damage the LCD screen.

LCD Technology: Response Time - Enabling
crisp full-motion video
With the recent widespread use of PC and online games, and PCs equipped with
DVD drives give users more opportunities to see moving images such as those
in 3D games or action movies on screen. This increase in motion picture
content means computer monitors must be able to display not only still
images, but moving ones as well. Manufacturers and IT publications often
cite a fast response time as an indication that a display can play videos or
games with little or no blurring. Hence, we would like to share with you
what response time is, and how helpful it is in determining how well an LCD
display (TV or Monitor) can portray moving images.
