Olevia 747i
Those kids of yours, the ones you're always bragging about? This47-inch LCD is better than them. It's smarter, with a killervideo-processing chip that helped it ace all our tests, syncing up andsmoothing out the noisiest screwball video we threw its way. The set'sbetter looking than your brats, too: Our Blu-ray movie wastheater-quality, with a sharp-yet-natural, noise-free picture andvivid, well-balanced color. We loved its default settings, but Olevia'smyriad picture, audio, and setup controls make home-schooling this babya breeze. And, unlike your spoiled spawn, it listens. Even its soundimpressed us, a rarity for flatscreens. But then, your kids canprobably really crank up the volume, too.
- Pretty, tough
A thick sheet of glass covers the entire front of the set, giving it a slick appearance and protecting the LCD panel beneath. Best of all, you can clean it with Windex.
- Real speakers — or none
Two full- size speakers mounted underneath deliver deeper bass and fuller sound than any TV in our test. In tabletop mode, they look built-in. But they're removable if you've got better ones.
- Precise control
Olevia's creative 3-D rolling- hexagon menus not only look impressive, they also offer easy and quick access to crazy-detailed configuration options. You can even adjust picture/audio timing to sync up those old John Wayne flicks.
- Magic wand
The programmable remote can control a DVD player, VCR, audio tuner, and set-top box, plus three other user- selectable pieces of gear. And you'll have no trouble finding its large, backlit buttons in the dark.
