Olevia 542i LCD

Olevia 542iThis Olevia 542i has some nice specs and a fantastic picture with TV, DVD players and movies.

When you buy a HDTV picture quality is what it is all about, and the Olevia 542i LCD HDTV has a great picture. The native resolution is 1366 x 768 with a 16:9 aspect ratio. The gray-to-gray response time is a great 8ms so no matter what you do from watching movies to PC gaming, ghosting is not an issue. The RF inputs will support SDTV, 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i. Picture in picture and split screen options are included as well.

I really enjoyed my time with the 542i. It was great for TV and movie watching, even if the gaming quality was mediocre compared to my reference Eizo CE240W 24″ display, it was acceptable and console gamers will love it. If you haven’t watched movies or TV in HD formats you don’t know what your missing. The 542i also has a good price considering its feature set and connectivity features of a bit less than $1900 online. If your in the market for a reasonably priced HDTV for use with your media center computer, the 542i is worth a look.
