    Does anyone have any experience with this TV? How is it for gaming (XBOX 360)?

    Thanks
    I just purchased the Olevia 437 37" TV (which is very similar to the 537), and I love it. XBOX 360 gaming on it is great. I picked it up at CompUSA last week for $750. The only issue with the 437 is the remote stinks, but the 537 has a better one (not sure why...) If you have any specific questions, feel free to PM me.

      Just got a Samsung 46" DLP and got the HD box from Comcast along with a HDMI cable and have to say that the HD channels just look average, not the razor sharp quality I had hoped for. Any suggestions?

            I am semi contemplating one of the 60 inch Bravias from SONY...

            Would be a major purchase and I've never spent close to 1/4 of that on a TV before.

            They look amazing...anyone got an opinion on them?

              Do those calibration dvds help with the pixelation in dark or shadow areas? I have a samsung HLR5667. I have had it for over a year now and the pixelation is the only problem I have with it.

                  I know a few people got this TV on Black Friday ( I think it's the same exact one ) Pro's, Con's? I'm still sitting with a 29' SDTV and I'm thinking about the upgrade.

                  To get HD the only other thing I need is the HDMI cable right?

                  One more question. For those that have Time Warner, how much more a month is it for HD programing and the HD DVR? I have digital cable through them with DVR, but I was wondering how much it is to upgrade.

                    Time Warner tags on another $5+ for the HD addon, slightly more for HD with DVR

                      I have this TV. So far, knock on wood we never had any problems with it at all. I've played games on it (PS3, 360, Wii, etc.) and watched TV, DVD's and it has been excellent. Only thing that was a con to me was that it only has 1 HDMI, 1 Component, etc. But the good thing is that if you have a 360 you can use VGA cables on it which I never tried.

                        Question for you HD-users;

                        I currently have an older projector that I have been using for my 360, but am getting the feeling it's close to the end for it. I was planning on selling it and buying a cheaper LCD HDTV.

                        I have been looking at the vizio 37 inch LCD for $799 or the 32 inch for $599. Has anyone used a Vizio? any comments would be appreciated

                        price range looking to spend is up to $800, and will be using it mainly for the 360. ANy suggestions?

                          I recently bought my first HDTV and bought a 32" LCD TV from Samsung. I put in MLB 2K7 and noticed on 1080i it looked REALLY pixalated, so I tried 720p and saw the same thing. I'm not sure whats wrong, so I'm hoping one of you HD vets will know.

                          If it helps this is the exact model I bought. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-LNS325.../dp/B000ELSY0I

                            It shouldn't be pixelated, maybe you have a defective TV.

                              Just wondering if this is a good sound system? It sounded pretty good when I heard it today, just wondering what everyone thinks.

                                No way would I buy that. It doesn't have HDMI in and doesn't have nearly enough inputs. JMO. It basically looks like more of a 5 disc upconverting DVD player with speakers. I wouldn't consider it a sound system.
