The change to digital TV left all our countertop TVs useless and my wife likes to watch the news at her makeup dresser while getting ready for work each day. I was looking for a small digital TV to replace the ones that will not work now and saw this one. I got it for her as a Christmas present and hooked it up a couple days later.
It was very easy to install by just connecting the digital outside antenna, plugging in the power supply, turning it on and scanning for channels. We receive about 20 channels with most showing in HD and the picture quality is excellent. The sound is loud enough but the quality could be better however, the sound is perfect for a TV that sits on the dresser a couple feet away.
It is used as a stationary TV and I don't know how it works as a portable so I can't comment on that.
Overall, we are very happy with our purchase so far.

The Battery will not hold a Charge and the remote control did not work. Customer Service would not replace the Battery and have been waiting for over a week to receive a replacement. After purchasing 3 of these I will in the Future purchase other brands. It is not very portable as moving it even 1/4" causes it to lose the broadcast. The FCC and Congress blew it adopting this Digital System.

I purchased this little TV to keep on my desk because it's part of my job to keep up with the news. The remote control is absolutely terrible. It must be within about two inches of the TV to work at all, if then. I've changed the batteries twice - buying new batteries each time, and it didn't help at all.
Given it's so small and within reach, you'd think that's no big deal, right? But - here's the thing: if I reach over to change the channel, it's so lightweight, pressing the buttons actually knocks over the TV. So, I have to pick it up to change the channel. It's just a nuisance, especially since the cable input is on the top right, which, since it's so lightweight, is a very awkward place to attach a heavy coaxial cable.
The most annoying thing is pressing the TINY numbers on the remote six times to get it to react....then not be able to get the second number to register in time before it switches to the one-number channel.
Oh, and in the picture of the remote above? The blue buttons don't change the channels. They're just for the setup. The up/down and volume buttons are the teeny ones on bottom and right; and I have to poke them HARD with my fingernail to make it work. From two inches away.
The other problem I have with this TV is the "zoom" feature. It doesn't zoom, it stretches. So, if a channel is broadcasting a show that would fit perfectly into the 16:9 format, the zoom feature stretches out instead of fitting it to the screen. The black bars at the top and bottom remain the same thickness, and all the people look fat. That's not zoom! That's stretching, and it looks terrible.
The picture quality? It's ok, kinda washed out. My twenty-year-old 13" Fisher looks a million times better. I tried adjusting the Haier right next to my old Fisher, and the Haier couldn't come close to the sharpness and color correctness. For the record, I've worked as a pro printer in photo labs for several years, so I know a lot about color. The controls on the Haier barely register any changes, even taken to the extremes.
In summary? What I'd hoped to be a handy little desk accessory is too annoying to rely on.

The quality is excellent, the product arrived quickly and was easy to set up. I did need to purchase an inside antena but knew this was necessary when I purchased the TV. Lots of great images and color for such a small unit! Completely satisfied.

Easy to use, gets good reception with built in ant. As good picture quality as I think you are likely to get from a set this size. All in all a good buy.Haier HLT71 7-Inch Handheld LCD TV
