actually i had bought an Olevia 42in about 3yrs ago… it blew about 2days ago…now there is no longer an Olevia company to call… I have to say that these days buying a TV has to do with where the purchase is made..buy a tv at a walmart or sams club costco..etc is better because of their membership policies..if it stops working you take it right back to them and they give you a new one…just purchase the stores extended warranty…

Purchased three LG,S Lcd.s 1080s with my roommate for her new home .Two 42″ & a 55″ with extended warranties from COMP U.S.A . The 55 INCH was defective from the get go. Picture kept freezing every few minutes. But i thought it was a cable service problem. After multiple service calls from comcast.
I realized it was the T.V.
Comp U.S.A said they had no more of that model in stock .We purchased them all on a weekend promo sale . But would exchange it for a different one .
Got the model #ers and found out our unit was a much higher end one then the one they offered in exchange and didn’t really want to lug that big thing back to the store myself. So i called LG.
And after 45 minutes of being extremely adamant. They scheduled a service call. Tech came out fixed it buy replacing a major board and also replaced the T.V. stand that was a little tilted .
Gave me a history lesson about samsung and LG being the same family .Two Korean Brothers in the same business. Also gave me tips on the best way to use our new LG washer and dryer .That the manual didn’t mention . And the T.V. works really fantastic now. So my point here is .Spend a little more money for your T.V. and you get a much better warranty experience and product. I highly recommend LG. Not only do they have a beautiful picture and better technology then most other brands .
They come to you for the repair , and stand buy there product.

Buy a name brand? I purchased a LG 42″ tv 2 years ago. 7 Capacitors went out after 15 months and the remaining capacitors went out after 22 months. LG wouldn’t do anything – it was out of warranty. Repair tech said the capacitors were not of the right capacity for the TV and were actually a product defect. In my opinion, should have been a recall. I will not buy LG ever again.

Buy a decent brand, and you won’t regret it. I have a 27 inch Sony XBR crt that is 18yrs old (1992, built-in 2-tuner PIP, etc.). The picture was amazing all these years, and when I got a converter box for it, it looks even better now. Sure, it’s not 1080p HDTV or even 720, but from 6ft away, the pic is still sharp & contrasty, people think I have cable or DirectTV. I just have a plain roof antenna. Soo… I thought about replacing it with an LCD HDTV… Guess what I’m shopping for… yes, another friggin’ Sony XBR, 46 or 52. I paid $1200 for it (pricey for a 27 back then), but I think I got my money’s worth. On top of that, I can sell it on eBay or Craig’s for about $100 dollars, no prob – ’cause it’s an XBR (like reselling an old classic car)!
Save a bot more money, and get the highest quality tv you can afford.

Why should someone who paid under $500.00 for a 37 inch LCD HDTV worry about the availability of repair after the warranty runs out? If the TV has a good, easily adjustable picture, satisfies the buyer and lasts a year, don’t you think they got their money’s worth? Like it or not, this is the age of the disposable everything from inkjet printers to that jerk you married. These days you pays your money and you takes your chances. The days of, “The customer is always right!” are long gone.

The screen got broken on my Olevia 37 inch Tv. I called the company about repair. They said they would replace the screen for $195 and I would pay for shipping 1 way at $66.00. I need to pay $100 for diagnostics and the shipping up front. The $100 would be applied to the cost of the repair. The total cost then would be about $260 if that is all thats wrong. I am afraid they could just say there was a lot of other things wrong and then have a big bill that the TV would not be worth fixing and then they get to keep the TV and I loose the money I paid down on my Credit card. What do you think and do you know anything about their credibilty?
