I love my Olevia, looks great a year and 3months later...
It's a 37" HD LCD... got it for $499. Not one problem with it even after all the hours on it...

I use it for my Xbox 360 and it looks great at 720p

are you able to run yours as your computer monitor if so hows it look

i run my 37" 720p daily as a monitor and i sit 4 feet away and it looks great. obviously not as good as my 22" 1680x1050, but im not a gamer so the 1360x768 res is plenty for me

i would take a picture if my computer room wasnt so **** messy

see im looking for one to use as a computer monitor and bedroom tv at the same time, we dont game or anything on it just web browse. i'll have to look at that now 37" for 499 seems nice.
i do play xbox360 also though so id like it to look pretty good playing that.

Looks great with my 360!!! I love it.

The 32 is nice, check target.com they go on sale all the time on there. (and sometimes you can find coupon codes to knock the price down even more)
