Customer Reviews

I am really thrilled with my purchase of this Haier HLT71 by 7-inch ATSC 2009-ready portable LCD TV! I’ve never heard of this brand Haier, and I had heard many nightmare stories about some of the other brand name that poor pictures on these small screens, so I thought I’d give this Haier a try.
I ordered this TV directly from Amazon, and I came from a seller on Amazon, which goes by the name of ANTonline. The seller sent this perfect and fast to start, which is always a great advantage to me. When I opened the box, the set looked very elegant and light, perfect! The TV I received is exactly as the photo shows this description, black (which is the image of the remote close to the TV), with very simple control buttons on the front. Then I looked at the directions, but realized I did not need to read at all! All this is really obvious! The set has a small slide switch on the side to activate the power. Screws antenna easy. It comes with a plug for the internal power, and a plug for the car lighter, light and a rechargeable battery! Has a bit ‘remote control which made it very easy to read! After screwing the antenna (or you can connect the power cable if you use at home), I included at the bottom, slid the power switch, press to scan to define the channel and does hurry! In about 1 minute, was fixed! I then tried the small battery, and that played to perfection, with no electricity!
The picture is absolutely gorgeous, as is the new ATSC digital signal receiver built in! To see the local programs in digital on this little screen was fantastic! The colors are sharp, crisp and lively, just like a great HDTV!
I noticed that some judgments are giving this TV a low rating because it does not collect all the channels with rabbit ears that only comes with the set. This TV takes every signal that is transmitted in your area. Before buying this TV, you must first go to a website called Antenna Web. On this site, you type your address and show you exactly how the channels you can receive in your area and what kind of antenna you need to pick up the signals. Antenna web says that in my area I could get 8 signals, and one rabbit ear that comes with this tv picked up all 8 channels. When I used a stronger antenna, I got 3 more channels. When I used my cable TV, I received more than 60 channels, and when I used my cable with my cable box, I have 250 channels. Whatever I connected to the coaxial input on this TV, this TV picked up! If you live in an area that receives signals transmitted or need a high-powered antenna to pick up something, is not the fault of the TV, but your issuer. So if you want to make sure your TV is collecting signals correctly, go to Antenna Web and see which channels you can get in your area and what kind of antenna you need to pick up the signals. My rabbit ears only, picked up all channels including hi-def, and the reception was crystal clear. (Also, do not forget to go to the menu of the TV and hit the image of small satellite dish, then hit the appropriate air or cable before you scan for your channels. In this way you are sure the TV receives the correct signals.)
The real plus for me on this tv, is the battery, because of the many power outages and bad storms, this is a must have item! The battery lasts about 2-2 1 / 2 hours, perfect for a show some waiting out bad weather, or even for entertainment when traveling. The image really fantastic blown away. I really like the light weight of the TV, even with the battery, is like a feather! There is also a built in stand to put on a table! The sound is amazing how well two speakers and really loud! This is unheard of on these small ensembles! They also decided to put a plug in for headphones, if you have them (headphones not included) to listen in silence or to travel! Who designed this set perfect, they knew what they were doing!
I am giving this perfect little tv 5 stars to be able to see a strong, clear, beautifully colored hi-def pictures, and create without reading a direction, but mostly because I play in my house, my car, or take it anywhere with the rechargeable battery, all at a great price too!
UPDATE: Haier vs Axion 7 inch portable TV
I am posting an update for those who wonders what the differences between these two mobile TV. A friend of mine bought the Axion, and has been ported to compare it to my Haier. Here’s what I found:
RECEPTION: Antenna web says I could get 8 channels in my area. With only the rabbit ear antenna, Haier picked up all 8 channels. Axion picked up 7 channels, but a canal was very confused. When you plug a cable wire, both sets collected everything.
SOUND: For these small sets, the sounds were very similar, but when you turn the volume higher, the Haier was stronger and not as tinny as the axion.
PICTURE: Both have very nice pictures with great color, but Haier is certainly a more hi-def, looking sharper pictures.
REMOTE CONTROL: Haier is easier to read, and has the largest volume control, where Axion is smaller and has no volume control.
Battery: Haier is a plug-in and lasts about 2 hours before needing recharging. Axion Battery is built, can not be removed and lasted less than 1 hour before needing to be charged.
Overall, the sets are very similar, my personal choice is the Haier, I believe that the image is sharp, the price is better and the battery lasts longer for my needs in the event of bad weather. Haier also how the picture settings and adjustments in the menu of most television, but the images on both sets are so large, I never found the need to use them. The bottom line for me is the best picture and the price to the board of Haier, since the reception of these two series is almost identical.
June 12, 2009 NEWS UPDATE ON CHANGE DIGITAL
I just read an article about the new change in the digital document entitled CHANGE TO DIGITAL TV BROADCASTS AS GIA ‘bad reception. And literally mean bad reception. The article states: Many radio stations across the country are the transmission of digital signals with new transmission towers temporarily, only to meet the deadline of June 12. Permanent new towers are necessary in order to move to a new transmission in a higher frequency which should be easier for people to pick up antennas. Once the new towers are constructed, probably later in 2009, the stations will turn into another channel, and everyone will have to re-scan their television to receive all the new digital channels. Unlike the old analog signal, you will never have snow or static on the set, it is to have a perfect picture or one that is absolutely unwatchable. Right now, with many broadcasters transmission towers, with temporary, you need a powerful antenna to receive anything on your September I thought this article very important to let everyone know that right now, you need a powerful antenna designed to receive, but by the end of the year, standing towers to be built and running full power, which means that each antenna should take everything. More importantly, remember to scan again for channels TV program after June 12, and later in the year, when all the towers are standing up. This will bring you all the stations that will be switching to a new channel with the new frequencies. I hope this helps everyone, so that gains the highest number of TV channels of them!
UPDATE: Missing or change channels AFTER DIGITAL
This is an update for those who have lost or channels that do not have the digital channels after the change took place June 12, 2009, if you re-acquired or not. I received this information to share with you all contact the FCC, CBS, Antenna Web and Elgato Systems Support. They were very helpful in explaining to me what is happening now, which is this: half of all TV stations Nations (which is half of 1760 stations) are running at full power, the other half of 1760 stations are not . Some stations are completely off the air temporarily, and are only available through cable and satellite. In most major markets, some channels are still lower frequencies that many smaller antennas NEVER pick up, except perhaps the highest powered amplified antenna. Digital TV was originally designed to be broadcast in UHF (digital loop antenna required), which channels are higher. VHF (rabbit ears), which are the lower analog channels (2-13) had to be gone, but it is not. The new digital TV channel is broadcast in 2 different ranges for both UHF and VHF. In other words, the channels are missing, many channels are frequencies we can not climb, and only half of our stations are running at full power! What a mess! Antenna Web is now showing the new RF (Radio Frequency), the channels in your area. Each station has 1 RF channel. If you see in your area, all the low RF channels 1-13 range, you need a really high-powered antenna for perhaps receive your channels.
First, go to your TV to re-scan. Remove the batteries. Connect it to the wall outlet. Find the dish on the menu and set the air (if you use the antenna) or cable (if the cable is connected) and scanning. You may have to do several times and even more re-scans are needed in the next year or two!
The FCC recommends that if you are getting nothing, or very few channels, to perform the following operations, before re-scan:
1.) Re-orient the antenna
2.) Integrates the antenna (not recommended by me, like electricity antenna these needs, which means that it will be useless when used with battery)
3.) Purchase new HD antenna that receives both VHF and UHF
When you buy an antenna for the HD set, try scanning again when you get home a couple of times to see what you get, if nothing works, go back and try another. (After re-scanning, be sure to try the TV with the battery to see what you can pick up for power outages.) Eventually one will work for your area and you will be fixed for the next power outage. With only 1 / 2 the stations at full power, who went missing many channels temporarily to cable and dish, and many run on low-frequency analog, it’s amazing our set of antennas are picking up something now! Shop until you get a good antenna for your area, and be patient, it will take years before everything is broadcast in high-frequency digital TV! I hope this helps everyone, as the antenna is all right right now!
UPDATE: MORE BATTERIES HAIER finally here! (26 September 2009)
I am so happy that Haier has finally made batteries no longer available for purchase here on Amazon! Just type in Haier battery and you will see many sellers have their advertising and the prices are very competitive, starting at $ 24.00 plus shipping. I received my haste, tested, and we got a little over 4 hours of television with 2 batteries, which will be wonderful when we need a laptop for switching power next! (Without power, I’ve recharged my car.) I ‘ve my tv for over a year, and is still as new, so you pay for an extra battery is definitely worth it!
