I have owned this cute portable tv for two weeks and enjoyed it every minute. It has a clear picture, program guide for digital stations, and closed caption. I feel obliged to write a review to share with you about this TV.
Reception:
Many users complained about poor reception on this TV. My advice is to change a better quality antenna. I only get 1 channel with the included antenna. I can get 20 channels with an antenna from a Pinnacle USB tv tuner. This antenna has a 2.5" magnetic base. It is very similar to Axion portable tv's external antenna. I can get 45 channels using the TERK amplied indoor HDTVa antenna http://www.amazon.com/Terk-Amplified-High-Definition-Antenna-Reception/dp/B0007MXZB2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1246474686&sr=8-1
Yes, 45, super clear, no interference channels. I can pull stations from 25-30 miles away.
If you have cable, this TV comes with QAM and can receive all digital and analog stations. You can enjoy free HD programs from local public TV stations.
Sound issue:
I agree with most reviewers here. The sound is tinny on this portable tv. But after hours of research before purchase, I found it is a common problem for almost all portable TVs and even many regular LCD TVs. To keep TVs slim and small, the manufacturers have to use small speakers which compromise the sound quality to a great degree.
Why I choose Haier as opposed to Axion?
Because Haier has a replaceable battery and Axion's battery is solded inside. And we know that batteries do not live long, usually 3-5 years. Batteries can leak if it is not taken out after drain.
Suggestions to the manufacturer
Include a case for this portable TV to make it really portable, free from scratches.
