Olevia 2 Series 1080p 52" LCD TV - 252TFHD
Olevia HDTVs have been garnering a lot more attention lately, thanks in large part to the 47" model 747i being named to Wired Magazine's "World's Best Gadgets for 2008."
But Olevia, manufactured by Syntax-Brillian, is hardly a one-trick pony, and the 52" model 252TFHD is just the TV to prove it.
With 52 diagonal inches of full high-definition resolution (1080p) at a price that is well within the lower end of the market in comparison vs. the likes of leaders like Sony, Samsung and Sharp, the 252TFHD is worth your full consideration. Here's a quick feature review of the set's major selling points.
As one of the most inexpensive 52" LCD HDTVs on the market today, you wouldn't expect the 252TFHD to be a feature-rich set like the Bravia, Aquos, or virtually any modern Samsung LCD series, and you'd be right... to a degree.
Here's what the 252TFHD does boast:
Director's Image: According to Olevia, the 252TFHD's Calibrated 6500K color range and extensive picture controls (brightness, contrast, etc.) give you superior fine-tuning capability.
Big Picture Technology: The Olevia site describes its advanced technology as allowing the 252TFHD to display up to 37% more within analog images and 11% more within digital broadcast images, with no distortion.
User Friendly On-Screen Display: Wired Magazine commented on the 747i's ease of use, and the 252TFHD follows suit, employing a "scrolling icon wheel" which promises to simplify the sets controls, allowing you to quickly choose between present video and lighting modes to suit your environment.
USB-Upgradable Firmware: Visit the Olevia site and download the latest firmware updates to take advantage of tweaks and new compatibilities developed by the folks at Syntax-Brillian.
OleviaCare: And Olevia promises in-home customer support to help you set up and get the most out of your new television.
Input options: The 252TFHD offers an adequate number of HD video inputs, with 2 HDMI, 2 S-Video and 3 Component connections, though in comparison vs. the leading sets from Sony, Samsung and Sharp, the choices are a bit more limited.
All in all, ratings on the 252TFHD, combined with the attractive price, should make this TV a set to give your consideration, if only to ensure you investigate sets from across the price and feature spectrums. And don't forget to find out what buyers of the set think about it... read their user reviews at Amazon.com.
