We bought an Olevia TV for the holidays only to find out that the remote control and ALL cords were missing from the box. We immediately called Olevia to report the problem. They promised to send the missing items. The best they could do was to send them in TWO weeks. Two weeks passed and no cables, no remote. It has been about two months and we are still waiting for the parts. Olevia has terrible customer service.

Service may become even more difficult – they have major financial problems, as is reflected in their stock price (ticker: BRLC).
I love my 37″ Olevia, and have had no problems with it, but wouldn’t buy another until they get their house in order.

Don’t buy a Syntax Olevia! I bought one and it died almost to the day the warranty went out. Customer service said I would have to pay to ship it back and pay the parts and labor to fix it and that would cost over half of the TV’s cost. They wouldn’t offer to help with anything and they said they lost my registration card, the same one they used to call me with to ask me how I liked it a week after I bought the TV. So all I can do is to post this to every blog I can to try to inform others.

I must say the set is great till you need service
The company is the worst. you cannot even get a Tv reparir person to fix them for the parts are no where to be found.
I have 7 Oleiva’s and would not buy another after the customer service
2 broke and no one can fix them. i asked the company for a service center and they dont have one. They only exchange or replace with older units and reboxed
Beware this great price when your set goes DOA
For the money you can get a Sony or others
Go with the good guys Sony or Samsung have better service and thats a plus
the sony Bravia KL46w3000 is a better set as well
If you think i am lying call Olevia and ask them for a local service center or repair place
BEWARE THE BEAST

Don’t get me wrong, I wanted to love this TV. I bought it for my parents for Christmas. When I got home, I was shocked to find that the TV was full of problems.
First of all, the TV is twice as heavy as it should be. A TV like this should be 60-80 lbs. The Olevia 747 is more than twice that weight. My parents were unable to carry the TV upstairs!
Once the TV was set up, it was nothing but trouble from there. At first, the TV looked great. Then after a few days the picture started flickering on the component inputs. My guess is that the inverter board on the TV is shot. This was very noticeable, and was more than enough reason to return the TV.
If that wasn’t enough though, we then noticed a HUGE black circle in the middle of the TV. Whenever you were watching a dark scene, or switching inputs, it looked like there was a big lunar eclipse in the middle of your TV! Really horrible.
Oh, and whoever said this TV was made in the USA is not correct. The box says made in Taiwan!
Do yourself a favor and DO NOT buy this TV!
We’re getting a Samsung 46″ instead:
Samsung LNT4661F 46″ 1080p LCD HDTV
It’s cheaper and has great reviews!
