Haier HLT71 7-Inch Portable LCD TV

I bought this TV in November, received it in December, and in January, less than a month after having the TV, the screen just went dark - picture was there barely in the background, but definitely not viewable. After many phone calls, I finally received the information I needed to return it (you have to box up the TV and send it to one place, then send the paper work to another place and then they want to charge you $14.99 to ship you the new TV. After several more phone calls to check on the status, I finally received another TV on 2-26-09. I hope this one lasts longer than the last one, and if it doesn't, then I will look elsewhere.
The sound is pretty good and not too tinny-sounding for a small TV, but the picture, unless you are fairly close to it, is difficuilt to view. the stand which is attached is not adjustable and when standing, it is at an angle that you have to be almost over it to see it clearly (and I propped mine up with something in front of it just to have it at a comfortable viewing angle for me. You can adjust the contrast and viewing settings, but they really don't change it that much in this TV. It is easy to use however, with a good menu and remote, and it has a black rubberized covering that is attractive and does pretty well in our master bath, which is where I have it now, but with the covering being a rubbery substance, it also tends to collect dust (and hair product overspray)easily (just as a matter of info in case you plan to use in a bathroom setting).
I had a gift card already and for the money at that time, it was worth the money I spent, but I wouldn't purchase it again for the current price, because I'm not too confident how long this one will last and I definitely think the run around you get to return a product when it isn't even a month old, isn't worth the hassle.Get more detail about Haier HLT71 7-Inch Handheld LCD TV.
