We actually just received this set via Target, so it's a bit early to review, but so far, so good. We are generally pleased with the buy. The model has lots of features and quality wrapped in a small package. It's rather chic in appearance, too, available in a variety of colors, and has been featured in a non-tv ad. Though there are four "hymenal" holes to attach a swivel/tilt type bracket with a square mounting plate, the bottom-heavy, "Gumby" base and top manual controls are designed for placement on a tv cart like a standard CRT set. We only wish the power cord were a few feet longer to accomodate the higher viewing level a bracket allows, instead of merely five feet. Also, the remote pop-up boxes for fine-tuning the picture, sound, color, etc. could hang there a while longer until the user is finished programming. The stereo speakers are kind of trebly and distort at high volume. Otherwise, no other major flaws we can see as yet.

Not the best LCDHDTV available but great for the size. Actually looks bigger than it is because of the white frame. The sound is okay and the video is good. You have to play with the settings though and the picture quality also depends on your source. Haier has limited customer service but they eventually get back to you and they are pleasant.
Amazon suggests a wall mount to go with this purchase but this Haier model is not wall-mountable. Unfortunately, Amazon does not clearly state that fact anywhere. The set has four holes in a correct VESA pattern but there are no threads in the holes. The threads would allow one to secure mounting bolts between the TV and the wall. Also, there is no stand with this set so Amazon's description is also incorrect where it says you can use a "tilt" feature.

the tv itself is fine---- but you should know that this is not a totally flat tv.... the profile is wider than most at the bottom. basically, the top of the tv is thin and then the back widens as it goes down to about a 4" PROFILE . it still mounts on a wall, but it is not at all low profile.

I was looking for a T.V.to blend in with my white Victorian kitchen without the modern black pedestal stand. This one fits under the cabinet, but still has a high quality picture. It was really tempting to order one of the funky colored models, but I stuck with white and am very satisfied.

I purchased this TV set in mid-February and by late spring, it wouldn't even turn on anymore. It was dead. I contacted Haier and was told to get it repaired if I could find a place that works on this brand. They would not allow me to return it to them for repair nor replacement. Since I can't find a place to repair it, I now own a $200 paperweight. I would never purchase another Haier product.

I purchased this TV for my kitchen solely on the color and the ability to hang it on the wall. I am pleased with the entire package. Looks great, manuvers well, good picture (this is an HD TV and we do not have HD programing, makes a difference), good price. Durability...we'll have to wait and see. Overall I am very impressed. The 4 stars instead of 5 is do to the picture quality which I imagine would be better with HD programing. I would definately buy again.

use it for my xbox 360 , my computer, and thinkin of hookin the cable up to it this weekend. not a single complaint ! love all the device hookups ! i will say that this TV is NOT built to be mounted to a wall though, i've done audio video before and wouldn't sell this as a wall mounted tv even if you were blind and couldn't tell !

this may be the best tv we've ever had. i can't say a thing bad about it, though i do wish there was a way to loop the usb photo show.

I bought it in September of 2009 and it has had strange green flashes on the screen for about five month, ignored those since it is for my 2 yr old, but now all we get is a white screen, no sound. We've tried everything. I'm calling customer service tomorrow but saw from another reviewer that they will not help in any way. We'll see how it goes for me.... Didn't even last a year!

update: Haier will give a local repairman a replacement motherboard. He said he'd charge 30 to look at it and probably another 30 for the actual repair. Hope all goes well!

It's a beautifull tv. It can be used as a PC monitor as well. Strongly recommend it.
Fantastic quality for price payed.
