Aspect ratio: The aspect ratio refers to the shape of the video image. Traditional television has a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is almost square in appearance. Digital television has either a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio. A 16:9 aspect ratio is widescreen and appears rectangular, which looks more like a movie screen, filling more of the viewer's field of vision for a more lifelike viewing experience. What's in the Box
This package contains the Olevia LT30HV LCD TV, remote control, batteries, and printed operating instructions. It is backed by a 1-year limited warranty for parts and labor.

Summary: YOU WILL REGRET BUYING THIS TV 2008-10-20
Comment: I bought this tv to surprise my husaband when he returned from the Middle East. We had it 2 years. It now goes black all the time. I'm a Television Consumer reporter and would never recommend this TV. It didn't have that many bad reviews two years ago, but it does now. Do Not Buy This TV! Read the reviews. Works for awhile and then goes black. Invest in something better. It will eventually break on you too.

Summary: Have had two of these for 4 years - works great - but not perfect 2008-07-21
Comment: Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R6532Q1V4YRR8 They work pretty good - but the problem is that after much much use - there is burn in issue - of course that is true with almost all LCDs. We have had no other problems with one exception. The tvs are very sensitive to low signal level. At 1080i - it doesn't like component switches or direct connects from the PS3. It cuts out and fritzs. I have a video of this I will try to upload.
I would also like to know if other people have firmware upgrades past the initial one that allowed the tv's to work with scientific atlanta remote controls???

Summary: Avoid Olevia!! 2008-07-09
Comment: I purchased this TV in August 2006, and it quit working around March 2008. (less than 15 months!) Apparently Olevia utilizes the substandard Darfon V144 back light inverter board.
When the board goes, so does the TV. Of course you can purchase a new board online for about $200. But why invest that amount, when you can add another $200, and purchase a new and better TV.
I'm really disappointed with the Olevia brand. I guess that's why you see so many of them for sale online. And their either refurbished or open box. I'm sure a lot of customers are returning Olevias due to their unreliability.
Do yourself a favor and buy a Panasonic, Sharp, Sony, Samsung or RCA product. Trust me; being cheap in the beginning, is really not worth it in the end. I learned the hard way.

Summary: 4 Years and still OK 2008-07-01
Comment: Bought this for way too much in Nov 2004, still watching on a daily basis. Pic looks as good as it did on day 1. No problems so far. No dead pixels yet, I'm impressed.

Summary: @2 years: Power failures and screen goes black 2008-06-12
Comment: Odds are, if you are looking at reviews for this television, you've got one and you're having problems with it.
This happened to me, and after looking on the web, it looks like a number of bugs have been reported:
1) The screen flashes blue, then goes black, but you can still hear audio. If you turn the unit off, the blue "standby" light still illuminates, but if you turn it on again, the screen is dead, or lights for a while and then goes dead.
2) The TV goes dead: no sound, no picture, no standby
3) Flickering of colors, etc.
In my case, after 30 months of use, I got the first problem, where it would flicker and then go to a black screen, first when using a PS3 via DVI, and later with HDTV cable through the component cables. Needless to say, this was disappointing after paying 1.3k in November 2004. Up until this point, the picture and sound had been reliable and good, which is why I gave it two stars instead of one.
It turns out that the root cause for issue (1) is the Darfon 144 LCD inverter, which generates power to light up the backlight. A number of manufacturers use this part and had the same bug. Based on research at yahoo groups, where there is a list called syntax_lcd, you can fix this by either (a) getting a new inverter board for a couple hundred, (b) removing and re-soldering the transformers to the board to fix bad solders, or (c) replacing a couple specific transistors that are testing poorly.
Items 2 and 3 above are driven by a complete or partial failure of the power module. There are also other issues driven by a failure of the motherboard. The yahoo group forum does a good job listing and addressing the problems if you read through a couple hundred comments, you'll find your issue, as well as a few others.
The group chats include a number of folks had luck with fixes for all three, and I plan to go down that path in a few weeks. Hopefully it will eke another couple of years of life out of the set, but this might be a good excuse to upgrade to a larger 1080p set.
