Haier HLT71 7-Inch Handheld LCD TV Reviews.
First off I am not an expert in electronics, but I do know when something works and I like it. I ordered this little TV to put next to my computer to watch some programs and the news. I was a bit leary at first so I did some research about the company. Last year they had profits of over $17 billion and employed over 500,000 people world wide. They have limited partnerships with Phillips and Toshiba. I thought that sounded pretty sound to me.
The TV arrived in great shape, packaged very nicely and secure. I opened the inner box, removed the contents and tried to read the manual. I say tried as the print is very small and the instructions are limited. I found the on screen menu much more helpful. I see here a lot of folks having problems with their antenna, fortunately on my previous computer I had a TV tuner card connected to my main Digital Cable box. I simply screwed the cable into the TV, set it up through menu and let the TV do the rest. It found over 100 stations including the local stations. I was really impressed. The picture seemed a little fuzzy though. It was like looking through glasses not prescribed for you. Then I noticed a bubble on the screen and noticed a clear plastic sheet covering the screen. Once I removed that the picture was beautiful. It has many features. I use the zoom to fill up the screen, made no changes at all to the color or any other changes. It’s a joy to have sitting on my desk.
I do video work and needed a TV that had a/v, analog tuner and digital tuner, coax input, and rechargable….this unit was a perfect fit. Very compact and seems to be well made. Easy to operate.
I was amazed with this product. First of all, let me say that there are about 20 over-the-air Digital TV channels availabe in the central Oklahoma area. This being said, I followed the instructions to power the unit using the AC Adapter. I then scanned for channels and in just a few minutes I was channel hopping and thoroughly enjoying the fine quality picture displayed on the screen. I was actually hearing the programming in stereo too. I found that attaching the ear buds from my IPod gave me an even better viewing experience. The remote control is outstanding. I feel that I definately got my money’s worth with this TV. This thing is great.
My only criticism is with the gigantic AC adapter and the fact that I cannot locate replacement batteries/external charger anywhere.
1.) I have purchased a travel case for the TV and it holds everything except the humongous AC power supply. This should be a more compact unit with a folding plug to take up less space when not in use.
2.)I would like to find and buy a couple extra batteries to have them on hand for storm season and some way to charge them separately from the TV. This would give me the opportunity to make it through an evening of tracking storms without having to leave my tornado shelter to find a car to plug into (assuming the local power grid is down due to the storms).
