Worth Every Penny
Pros
Great Price: $499 Brand new on Ebay - what a steal! Great Video Quality.
Cons
Sub-par Speakers if used alone.
Recommended it?
Yes
The Bottom Line:
I had to rate the unit honestly but to get anything significantly better you would be looking at over $1400 Great overall Deal
I've only had it for a day but I've been testing the mess out of it to write a decent review to help you potential buyers. Just a week ago i was searching for as much information I could get on this TV.
Video.
The Screen is plenty bright and colors are very vivid. I actually toned them down to the preset "Cool" setting. I'm currently using it as my monitor for my laptop via VGA and it is near perfect. I am currently at 1280X768 resolution. That's the max resolution for my HP so I cant test anything higher.
I played DVD's and the HDTV WM9 samples from Microsoft's website and that's when I knew this was worth every penny. I also loaded up some First person shooter games on the PC and I could see no blurring. This screen is rated at 12ms I think. The 26inch Olevia has 8ms but I seriously couldn't notice any "ghosting" or "blur" and I was looking for it.
I had heard that a few of the Olevia models perform poorly with the rca inputs but I'm here to tell you its not true. I used a Sega Dreamcast to test the RCA input. It auto scaled to the widescreen format and was pretty good considering it was RCA inputs as apposed to S-video, component , VGA or DVI

Ok first I must say that chances are if you are buying a flat panel TV you already have, or are going to purchase some sort of quality audio system, so when i bought this i really could care less about the speakers on this thing. But never the less I tried them out... And yes they are weak. And not so good of quality. I turned the bass all the way up and literally could hear no change. But then I turned out the "Surround" option and WOW it sounded like 5 more speakers turned on in this thing, seriously. I could hear the bass and they didn't sound so bad. Actually I would say they are more than acceptable for the price of this LCD. There are some sound shaping environmental presets but they are pretty much worthless , but at least they tried. I actually found a use for the speakers. I use them as an additional center channel for my surround sound and it sounds great; Think tweeters.
