Olevia 232V Review - 32-inch LCD HDTV

 

is a very reasonably priced flat panel at under $550. It features 720p resolution which isn't top of the line but for a TV of this size, it's very sufficient. This HDTV features an all black matte finish bezel, uncharacteristic of the very trendy...

After 2 years of ownership the picture / sound disappears after a few minutes of watching TV. The only thing that works when this happens is the blue standby LED. Searched on the internet and found that this is very common problem for Olevia LCD HDTVs...

Please do your research and buy with a warrenty.
