I REALLY HAVE ENJOYED THIS TV, SETUP WAS EASY, ONLY DOWN SIDE TWO YEARS AFTER PURCHASE STARTED HAVING DOUBLE PICTURE AND DVD STOP WORKING. SERVICE CENTER UNABLE TO FIX HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED. THANK GOODNESS FOR EXTEND WARRANTY

This is a great tv/dvd combo. Arrived securely packaged by freight company. Easy installation. Comes with stand attached. We chose to install on the wall. We purchased the "cheetah mounts" brackets from Amazon which was also a great deal. Very secure & well made. One point I must make about this tv is their instruction book. They state you need 4 metric screws to mount the tv to the wall. While this is correct, they have the size reversed in the manual which is confusing. My main gripe is why don't the necessary screws come with the tv? They were only .15 each and would have saved alot of headache trying to find the correct ones. After all, the batteries came with the remote. In any case, this is an excellent tv. The colors are vivid and true, you can view at almost any angle and still have a good picture. The quality reminds me of plasma. We've had this tv for six weeks and hopefully, it will continue giving long lasting quality & vivid images for years to come. The DVD works great as well. The remote is also easy to understand and the sound quality reproduces nicely. A great buy in my book!!!

After five months of owning this television, the DVD player started to make a noise similar to a V8 engine badly in need of a tune-up. Then the functions started going haywire. It was mounted high on the wall as to keep it from the curious clutches of my two young boys, so I know it had not been tampered with. When I called support, they wanted me to send it in for a diagnosis, stating that the whole procedure could take more than six weeks. Um... no thanks. So I fought with the retailer I purchased it from to trade it for a real TV. Sooooo glad it's not in my house anymore. What a waste of time.

I did not know this Haier brand so was hesitant to try it out, but I am glad I did. It offers decent image quality and good looks, and for the price, you can't beat it with a stick. BTW, the DVD player plays discs of all type, including homemade DVD-R and DVD from overseas, that was a very important factor for me.
