I managed to nab this gem from Circuit City over the Thanksgiving weekend. Regularly $899 CC had put it on sale for $499, and the reviews on the web were pretty upbeat, all things considered. Alas, I missed it on Friday but one of the stores here in Charlotte happened to find eight of them in a corner of their warehouse Saturday morning and they were listed on the CC website for $499. Trying not to get pulled over by Charlotte’s finest, I zipped to the store and snagged one of two remaining units. While there, we were told the price had been reset to $899 but the store honored the $499 price, we did call first to make sure they had them.Anyway, I finally got around to getting it hooked up and I must say, it’s much more than I expected. I realize that if compared to a new Sony or some other top of the line model the Olevia 232V might seem lacking, but for a bedroom tv, it was a great bargain. In fact, it would go a long way as a primary tv in an apartment or for the new homeowner that would like to get and LCD HDTV but just doesn’t have a couple grand to fork over right now.
