The good: The TV has a nice picture, good graphics, an intuitive menu, and a well designed remote -- very nice for such a little TV! It's lightweight and good looking. When the TV is plugged in to the cable tv system, it gets plenty of channels and the picture looks great. It's only 720 resolution, and the aspect ratio mode is "wide" or "normal" only, but it has lots of built-in personal picture and sound adjustments that are a nice feature.
The bad: Horrible over-the-air reception. With the single rabbit ear that comes with it, I couldn't get a single station in my area. I decided to purchase a separate antenna hoping that would help, and now I get TWO stations, both of which come in horribly. I doubt that's so much a problem with the TV but with the new broadcast technology, and highly dependent on how many over-the-air stations you get in your particular area. Back in the old days of analog TV, you could adjust the rabbit ears to get in stations even if they came in fuzzy. With the new digital TV technology, I haven't found that I'm able to do that. Stations pixellate, sound stutters -- it's unwatchable if it doesn't come in clearly.
That being the case with so many reviews on Amazon for this and similar portable TVs, I should think they should be designed with stronger antennas built-in.Get more detail about Haier HLT71 7-Inch Handheld LCD TV.
