Fine until it died

 

This was a fairly average television that I bought cheap around christmas. It died about two months later and, now going on week 5 of the warranty claim process, no one seems to be able to tell me any progress is being made.

Great TV for the price

 

I was able to get this in a black friday special for $300 and it was well worth it. I was a little skeptical about Haier because I had never heard of the brand. However, after 4 months of use it is great. HD Quality is great and it has 3 hdmi inputs...

So good I bought an extra one

 

This set is priced like a low end model, but has high end features. Ten different inputs means you can connect anything, and three of them are on the side for easy temporary connections. There is also a USB connector that can use a 4GB storage device...

Great TV

 

People are really complaining about the speakers? What are you expecting with this sort of TV??? Do yourself a favor and get a cheap surround set. I did throw a keg cup at it during the superbowl (not the Tv's fault, the Patriots) and did not realize...

I'm not a TV snob, but you probably shouldn't be either if you're looking at this. I replaced my old 32 inch 1080i Sanyo with this. The difference is absolutely amazing. The picture is so much better than what I was used to. I love that it...

As others mentioned the presets are garbage and don't do the TV justice. I found a post with a really good one though and it looks great

Very happy with this TV

 

I bought this TV on-line from Visions Electronics in Canada. It was on sale for $369.99. I do not have any High Definition TV channels but the picture looked good even with my Standard Definition (480i) digital cable box which I connected to one of the...

It's okay

 

You tend to get what you pay for in the TV market.. I never heard of Haier before I bought this TV.. It will be a good tv till I want to spend some real cash on a Samsung.

It was dang cheap ; Overall brightness is good ; Easy to use menu

2 dead pixels already ; Doesn't go full screen on HDMI from a PC, has a border around the edges of about 3/4 an inch ; Viewing angle could be better ; Pixel density isn't wondrous

a good starter hdtv

 

This is a good starter HDTV. Good for TV shows, sports and as a PC monitor (like right now.) An avid movie buff should avoid this because of the uneven backlighting. The lighting hot spots are obvious in dark scenes. If you watch movies and don't use...

easy assembly, light weight for its size, plenty of inputs, compact remote, nice color and brightness, everything works

uneven backlighting, VGA connection has ghost image, 1080p isn't as sharp as expected, dead pixel
