 Good little portable December 2, 2008

To be honest the rave review that has been here forever made me leery. Nothing is that good. I just received my TV and here's my take on it.
The delivery has been an issue. Along with others I placed my order at the end of September with a 3-4 week delivery noted. A week later the delivery was shown to be 2-3 weeks. About the time mine should have shipped I received an email stating December 2. This turned out to be the delivery date, including ground transportation from AZ. The frustration with deliveries probably should be directed at Haier. I'm guessing they had issues meeting ship dates. This is sad because this really is a nice little TV.
I set mine up in a few minutes. While the instructions are a bit thin, they do provide adequate step by step instructions for start-up. My set picked up all the local channels in analog and digital (HD and SD) using only the stick antennae supplied. This picture is fuzzy for the analog channels but, who cares? They're going away in a couple of months anyway. The digital pictures are clear and as is the sound. It's as good of an LCD picture as I've ever seen.
I purchased my set, as all others have, to replace a small portable analog set. My initial reason was to have a battery powered TV in the event of a power outage, seeing the set I will probably set it in my bedroom to catch the ends of shows in bed.
If I had to pick a negative, it's that the antennae. component and power plugs are in the sides of the TV instead of the back. All in all, a good product for a decent price.
This is perfect for my crowded bedroom, and it can come with me anywhere November 28, 2008

This little TV has a battery, an AC connector and a car plug. It has an antenna and can accept input from coaxial or audio/video cables with the red, white and yellow plugs. I can even use headphones with it (not included).
It has a little easel back that lets you set it on the shelf, or you can fold it flat and take it along. I connected it up to my DVD player in a few minutes after unwrapping it, and I also tried the antenna and actually got one of the local stations with it (I live far from even the nearest station).
It is very small, but not too small for me to enjoy. I did find the taped-up battery somewhat confusing and even concerning: there were no directions for installing it, and I hope I got it right. The directions are not very good, though it is pretty easy to figure things out.
I really like my new toy!
 I love this little thing! November 25, 2008

I just got this yesterday and it's awesome! I live in a large metropolitan area and picked up more stations than I knew existed. One of the local networks is a bit fuzzy, but I'm only using the supplied antenna and not too surprised about that. Reception is equal to, if not better than, reception I get on a regular TV with rabbit ears. I wanted this to sit on my vanity to watch local news and weather in the mornings and it suits that purpose perfectly! Plus, it'll be so nice to have a TV when the power goes out in a storm. The sound is excellent and the picture is crystal clear.
One thing to note: When using the remote control, there is a slight delay between the time you press the button and when your desired function actually starts. Not a biggy for me, though.
 Decent portable for the price November 14, 2008

Knowing that my current little portable TV used for emergencies will "expire" in February 2009 - I ordered one of these because they are set up for the new digital broadcasts. The first one I received didn't pick up any channels and had no sound. I figured it had to be a damaged unit, so returned it to Amazon for a replacement and the second one is working fine. Picks up most of my local channels -Some with amazing clarity and others fuzzy, but I live out in the country, so I'm okay with that since it's really just for emergencies. I'm amazed at the technology, seeing such a sharp, full color picture on that little screen. I've read from other reviews that the battery lasts about 2 hours, but hopefully that'll get us thru a storm. Comes with AC cord, detachable antenna, triple video input cable, car plug-in, remote control (including batteries) and rechargable internal battery. Note, internal battery MUST be installed before it will come on. It's got one of those tiny plug-ins like cordless phones, so make sure it's connected. Overall, I would recommend it.
 Sadly Disappointed November 11, 2008

I ordered this based on some of the good reviews. Big mistake on my part! I was happy with the Amazon shipping time because it actually arrived earlier than I anticipated. This was the only pro about the order.
Cons:
1. As others have stated, very poor reception. I tried the TV in my house, and in three other areas outside and the reception was horrible! It only picked up one VHF channel and it was fuzzy. The UHF channels it picked up were equally as fuzzy.
2. Instructions for use are minimal. While set up is fairly intuitive, there is no trouble shooting guide.
3. The Haier website is useless. I thought I might be able to find more information about this unit on the website, but it was impossible.
I will be returning this TV and will wait for another manufacturer to release something better. I don't usually write reviews, but I wanted to help prevent others from making a mistake in purchasing this television.
I was hoping to use this TV at football game tailgates. No such luck. :-(
