Thread: Olevia 65" HDTV Woot sale

Actually, my LCD is on a piece of furniture. Low open glass shelves for 4 boxes plus speakers, and an arm up the back to suspend the HDTV in the air. Very close to the wall, but can be moved around if need be.

Don't know about insurance price. I know DLPs have had a spotty rep, but that was mostly for the color wheel, I believe.

If you can afford it and it gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling about owning the TV, then go for it.

I never buy extended warranties on anything. If the odds were in the consumer's favor of getting your money's worth out of the warranty, companies wouldn't sell them. They are a very high profit item.

Personally, I get a warm and fuzzy feeling about not paying an extra 15% over the price of an item for a warranty I will likely never use. If something does break, hey, I'll use all that money I saved from not buying warranties on all my electronics over the years.

I cannot figure out this woot thing, (cannot find the 65" Olevia LCD) but I am able to say that the set has an awsome picture. My dad has one. Black level is not that great though. Detail and picture are awesome with all sources. I would love to get one because they are sogreat and a great deal but I don't have the money because I already have seven televisions. The Olevia 65" LCDs are a great deal though.

WOOT only offers an item for one day, then 'tis gone. The Olevia offer is gone.

Sometimes, like today, they Woot Off several items, one right after the other. If you follow them and get a chance to buy a Bag 'O Crap, do so. People report good things out of that.

You can also get wine at Woot Wine.

Yep. The Olevia TV line, or maybe just the brand name, may or may not be picked up by another manufacturer.

There are a few people who want the best, and cost is no object. I'm sure that Sony is aware that they are only going to sell a couple thousand of these, and the price reflects recovering the R&D costs. Besides, I believe that having a flagship set that costs more than your car actually sells the less expensive Sony displays.
