But there are some lesser- known brands that can save a consumer a bundle and one of them is the Syntax Olevia 537H Television, an LCD flat panel television. Reviewers of the Syntax Olevia 537H Television appreciate its great picture and clear sound, and they are astonished at the low price. The Syntax Olevia 537H Television offers “Excellent Picture Quality at a Reasonable Price” and most all reviewers are happy they purchased the Syntax Olevia 537H Television instead of a better known brand name. The settings on the Syntax Olevia 537H Television are not as intuitive as others, but the overall opinion of this television is still positive and it ranks among the best Television Sets available on the market today.

When our old TV finally died this year we started shopping around for a new when we came across this Olevia 37" and I am so glad that we did. It has an excellent value for it's price, I purchased mine for 699.00 but have saw them on sale for as low as $549.00 you just have to shop around.  The picture...

First some of the good. Bright picture, good quality, and decent sound quality.  I love the HDMI inputs for DVD and plenty of extra inputs.  The dislikes, if you own Satellite unless you have an HD dish,  I only get 480 or 720 picture quality, the TV is capable of 1080i so DVDs look...

Olevia 537H
a bargain hunter

NOV

The 537H has a reasonable picture out of the box, and a superior picture after tweaking its settings with the help of an Avia DVD. The "plain black wrapper" approach serves to highlight the superior picture; one that is far better than the two CRT-based HD monitors in my home (one direct-view, one projection). Though I use a receiver for audio, a quick check of the set's sound reveals that it's passable. Packaging is comparable to that of a high-end DLP set that I purchased and returned due to unacceptable picture quality.

The menu system is confusing at first, but is easier to operate with practice....

Bad things are hard to say about this television.  First off the Picture is amazing, the sound is phenominal.  Can't beat this TV for the price. the only real gripe I have on it is the delay, it seems everytime i enter a menu or change the source, even when raising or lowering the volume, there is a massive amount of delay.  When I turn the TV on it takes around a full 3-4 seconds just to switch on and tell what source it's on.  Other than the delay it's an excelent TV for the money.

Best TV for is value.  Just as good as a Sony and not as pricey.  Love the Hd Picture quality. Very minor draw back is sound doesn't come on as soon as you turn the TV on. This is my first experience with this type of TV and brand. I always  have been a Sony TV user until now.

Just bought my 537H HD television and was real dissappointed to find out I was getting the shaft from DirectTV and I could get an HDMI signal unless I paid them ANOTHER mint for new equipment. Olevia to the rescue! This unit really does an excellent job with the coax and the Component video (from the DVD player) signal. Price...let me rave about pricing. Sure you can drop $1.5k on some Sony or top name and get a little better contrast ratio; but for crying out loud - I busted a single large and came home with enough change to pay for the HDMI cable (for later). Iv read other reviews and...

I hit the day after Thanksgiving sales this year and purchased the Olevia 37" HDTV.  So far, I'm pretty impressed!  The picture quality is crisp, the colors are vivid, and the sound quality is pretty good.  I've heard some complaints about Olevia's sound quality, but compared to the TV it just replaced, it sounds great!  The only complaints that I have about it is that the settings are kind of difficult to figure out.  I still haven't figured out how to use my universal cable remote or how to watch the pic-in-pic.  The instructions for this TV is on DVD, so I'm sure that whenever I actually... review »

 I spent a lot of time searching for the right tv at the right price.   I watched and listened to tv's at stores.  I searched local and online for them.  After driving many a salesclerk batty I finally  decided on the Olevia.   There were good more expensive name brand televisions of course.  But this tv was comparable in quality and better in price.  I also considered Vizio, they also had a pretty good picture, but the sound quality was not too good. I have had this tv for a little more than a month now and so far so good.  I did purchase the 2 yr. extended warranty just in case. ... review »

I have been wanting a hdtv for a while now.  For me they were to expensive and my boyfriend and I have 3 children and 2 of those are boys ages 10 and 15 and they can eat you out of house and home.  I was looking for either a 37 inch or 40 inch television.  I was looking thru store flyers one day and came across the Olevia 37 inch tv on sale for $617.  I showed my boyfriend and he said lets go check it out.  So we went and purchased it right then and there.  I love the tv.  Its the perfect size for our living room.  Its clear and you have so many options dto do with it.  You can make the... review »

I purchased an Olevia 37" LCD TV which was on sale at my local K-Mart Store.  I wasn't sure how good it would be as it only had a 1500 to 1 contrast ratio.  After setting it up & going through the various functions, I got it set to the picture quality that was to my liking.  I must say this TV has an excellent picture in Standard Definition & when viewing a television program or DVD movie in the High Definition mode, the picture is absolutely amazing and comes as close to viewing in 3D as you can get.  I have had this 37" LCD TV for about 3 months now & I am very satisfied with... review »

The first time I turned on this TV, it didn't come immediately on and I turned it off, thinking there was a problem.  Finally, I realized I didn't a few extra seconds of patience for the TV picture to appear.  Now that I've calmed down, I LOVE the picture on this TV - - - and watching the HD shows on cable.  AMAZING picture!

The only strange thing with this TV is a couple times a week for a few intermittent minutes, I get a crackling sound from the speakers.  And it's only on a couple of the high def cable channels, so I'm not positive if the problem is the TV or the cable provider.

At $549.00 this TV deal was just too good to pass up.  We purchased this TV on Black Friday.  The regular price was $799.99, so $250 in savings was really sweet.  Picture quality was great right out of the box with very few setting changes.  I did alot of research online and read many reviews on this TV before purchasing.  All reviews that I read gave the TV at least 4 out of 5 stars.  We think this TV rocks!!!!  Compared to spending $1,000 plus on a Sony, Sharp or Samsung.........we'll take the Olevia.

I have owned this TV for about a month now and i am completely satisfied with this unit.. The picture quality is great, especially when turned on to the HD channels. I like the fact that they give you an HDMI cable with the unit..Some other TV's you have to buy them seperately, which can cost around $30.00.. I have my cable box hooked up with the HDMI cable and also my DVD player i definately recommend this TV if you are looking for a great TV with a great pricetag.

I bought this TV through Target.com. Overall, a very good value - 37 inch with good color. Really need HDTV cable to fully appreciate the picture. Menu is somewhat complicated- lots of settings to figure out. The sound is low on HD channels, must turn it up almost all the way to hear what characters are saying. When the set is off, a blue light stays on. It is very bright and annoying. Otherwise, good value.
