A TV with no tuner ? How does that work ?

A good find for a B&M store, but a far cry from the best deal on a QUALITY HDTV. The 3 series is the lowest end of Olevia's hdtv's, and the tuner is an EXPENSIVE add on! (>$100)
You can get the 532h (in BLACK with a TUNER) for 530 + 28 s&h at newegg!

That's no big deal at all.
Do you have cable? Then you don't need a tuner. It's only a problem if you still use rabbit ears to get your signals.

Well this is a bias thread..so lets set some stuff straight.
1. That is a REFURB unit. Not a new in box.
2. You can't return it to newegg? Buyer Beware.
-Return for refund within: non-refundable
-Return for replacement within: non-replaceable
3. You only get a 90 day warranty from Olevia on Refurb units.
4. You do NOT need a tuner if you use any Digital Cable, HD Service, DirecTV, Dish or Tivo/DVR type unit. Those all require a set-top box. So it makes that so called "must have tuner" worthless. I'd say 90% of the population who watches TV has a set-top box of some kind.
Not to mention that you can get the Olevia 337H from Fry's for $599 and it's 37" brand new. It has tearing o

Uhh, methinks cable still needs a tuner ...
( The OP title was actually in error.. This is an LCD monitor, not a TV )
I don't believe what the OP is referring to is a refurb. The 532H from newegg that someone mentioned is the refurb.Originally posted by: maxcom
"refurb" should be in the title

1) True, but it makes no real difference if it's new in box, or refurb. At least if it's refurb, you know it works... it's been factory reconditioned. Just my opinion.
2) You can't return it to newegg... true. However...
3) Mine came with a one year warranty. That's through Olevia.
4) True, but recieveing OTA HD broadcast is a very nice thing to have. Also... being a college student, I never know what the next cable hookup I'll have is going to be.
There IS a difference between the 3 series and the 5 series. The 5 series uses an ATi chipset for upconverting / downconverting / scaling, etc. Better than the no name chipset in the 3 series, IMO.

Cable uses a box, which is the tuner. Either way, you could also use your VCR as a tuner....
That said...no tuner does suck.
