What happened with that 47" Olevia TV not so long ago for around the same price. That was a way better deal than this westinghouse.

[infamouskid]

no way westy is a better brand hands down.

Westy is a better brand but the Olevia is the better TV. Its the cheapest TV you'll find with the Silicon Optix Realta HQV chip in it.

What does that Silicon Optix Realta HQV chip enhance?
(sorry if this was already clarified elsewhere...i wasn't following the Olevia 47" TV thread)

Overview
Realta
Realta is a highly integrated advanced SOC that enables a new benchmark standard of video excellence called Hollywood Quality Video, or HQVTM.

Teranex‘s professional broadcast-quality video processing platform – with thousands of display signal processors - has been integrated into the Realta chip. Teranex’s software algorithms, which have been refined though over 100,000 hours of content verification and have a proven reputation for quality, have been ported to run on Realta.

Realta’s architecture includes the industry’s first fully software programmable video array processor capable of performing over 1 trillion operations per second, an Image Fidelity Enhancement Engine and end-to-end true 10-bit image processing. These core technologies combine together to enable the simultaneous processing of dual high-definition image streams, delivering HQVTM into home entertainment and professional video display products including plasmas, RPTVs, LCD TVs and front-projectors.

Further enhancing the user experience, Realta supports advanced picture-in-picture (PIP) and split-screen (side-by-side) windowing modes. Each live image window can be independently processed, scaled, sized and positioned anywhere on the display surface. In addition, Realta contains a powerful OSD engine driven by a 250 MHz RISC CPU enabling 2D graphics and real-time animation.

Connectivity and networking are accomplished with an on-chip PCI interface allowing platforms built with Realta to be fully software upgraded and re-programmed via Web access. New video processing algorithms can be downloaded to Realta products that are in the field, thus future proofing the display and ensuring that the user viewing experience is fully optimized.

The Olevia is still available in TD stores. I'm going tonight to pick one up for $1199.

As far as the Westy 47", I was reading through some of the posts in the Hard Forum thread on the LVM-37w3 and the general opinion of the 47" TX tvs was negative to say the least.
