Default Frys.com - Olevia 37in HDTV, now $599 (was $647) + LOW shipping

http://shop1.outpost.com/product/5060095

This was posted back on 1/4/07. The price has dropped about $50 making this the lowest priced 37in I've ever seen.

No rebates, no taxes in most states (ex.CA, IL, TX)

something that's missing, the 1080p. But for $647 (tax IL, TX, CA) + MINIMAL shipping (from CA to IL, $17) this is awesome.

I have an Olevia 27 and can vouch for the quality. It's pretty damn great.

Flick the source selector for HDTV (HDMI), flick it for your PC (VGA) ... it's really an all in one machine. You can use the picture in picture to have your football game going while you PC away.

The smaller TV is a 26" widescreen this nice LCD is replacing.


Fantastic.

Thanks for the heads up Drew!

it's not a bad thing if you treat it like cash (no carried balances, etc)

+ helps build credit history
+ most cards carry "rewards"
+ for emergency use, it's great (tows, car parts, etc)

This TV has worked great for me the past month. It had no dead pixels and was easy to set up. Had a little Super Bowl party here and it got lots of compliments and it is perferct for watching sports.

My only complaint is that in dark scenes with all the house lights on, there's a bit of a grayish cast/reflection coming from the screen. If I turn the lights off (such as when watching a movie), it goes away. But it can be a little annoying during dark scenes in regular TV. Otherwise, color is vibrant, the picture is sharp, standard definition television looks decent, and high-def is beautiful. An A- overall, and an A+ on value.
