My Experience: Bought this TV at an excellent price. The image quality is good. I get 1080p resolution. But the bottom line is that it looks good to me, which it does.
The only draw backs:
1. It weighs a ton (ok so it only weighs 180 lbs.) It isn't easy to wall mount and most mounts I found said they were rated for 160 lbs max. I did eventually purchase a 200 lb rated wall mount. The Olevia web site says it can be wall mounted and they even show a wall mount as an accessory but of course you can't purchase it directly from them. Also, the bolt holes in the back of the TV are for an m6 size metric screw. Seems a little small if you ask me.
2. The user interface for the setup is pretty confusing. The options show as little panels in a wheel? It is not very intuitive. Seems like drop down menus would have been much simpler to navigate. It would also be nice to name the inputs to whatever you have connected to it. eg. DVD player, Cable box, or whatever.
3. The TV is Energy Star rated, but it still uses 385 watts and it generates a lot of heat. You can feel it if you're 1 feet away.

All in all I think it is an excellent value. But the real test of a good TV is how it holds up over time. Because of a very bad experience with a Toshiba 62in DLP TV, I won't buy Toshiba and I won't buy DLP ever again. Hopefully this will hold up a little better.
