Summary: Less than expected
Comment: Very excited with the size of this TV but the reception problems have ruined my ability to see only 3 stations in my area. The data card was hard to install because of the compartment size and plug very small. I'm hoping after the 2/17 conversion I will get better reception.

Summary: Nice little unit
Comment: The Haier 7" TV is a nice unit with a sharp picture. It doesn't pull all the stations that we should be able to get here, but I don't think that is the fault of this TV. We have the same problem with our big TV. I'm basically pleased with this unit.

Summary: Did not remember channels
Comment: I tried to program the set using an antenna. It programmed the channels correctly and got a reasonably good picture on most channels. However, after the set was turned off and put back on, it said it had no database and needed to have the set reprogrammed. I ended up returning it, assuming there was something wrong. I received a replacement and the same thing happened. I returned that one also.

Summary: Haier LHLT71 TV
Comment: We ordered this TV to replace a Trinity 7" portable TV that only had NTSC tuning, and no longer would be very portable if we had to use the converter box. This Haier TV was very easy to set up. One surprise was the clear pickup of stations with the screw-on antenna that came with the unit. We are about 30 miles away from the broadcast towers in Chicago. However, when this TV is moved from room to room, we usually just hook it up to the antenna outlet and get excellent reception.

Summary: Preliminary Review of Haier HLT71 7-inch Portable LCD TV
Comment: I received this little TV for Christmas and have not spent much time with it yet, so these are my first impressions. I work with ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) and CERT (Community emergency Response Team) and so I do a lot of "preparing" to respond to emergencies and/or being able to survive comfortably during one. So when I learned about this little portable TV that could receive the new digital signals, I thought it would be a good replacement for my old portable model that would no longer be able to receive TV signals.

So, to date, here are my first impressions: First, the price, at just over $100, was reasonable. It is a color TV with battery, AC charger and DC mobile plug (cigarette lighter style). It also has a cable connection for either cable TV or a remote antenna. It came with a warning that the antenna must never be rotated in reverse direction so I screwed it on very carefully but discovered that it loosens quite easily anyway. It can be hand-tightened again but comes loose again. This is clearly a disappointing feature. However, I plan to experiment with bigger antennas anyway so this is not unresolveable. It has automatic tuning that seeks and finds TV stations. So I was able to receive about 4 local stations rather quickly. The signal varied and the pictures were far from perfect but I could get the information I need when I needed it. Our rollover to digital is next month and I am looking forward to that to see if there is any significant improvement in the signals in general. The other thing I discovered is that the small battery does not hold a charge for very long and maybe it is not intended to do so. I need to research that some more before saying if this is a negative or just the way it was intended, to work off either AC or DC external batteries. The size is perfect for portability. I wish it had come with at least a soft case but it is easy to find them at any store. In fact, I found a brand new IBM mini laptop case that fit my mini EEE PC perfectly. I'm looking for another one for this little guy.
