Multiple HD inputs HDMI inputs give you access to incredibly clear, all-digital video and multi-channel audio via a simple, one-cable connection. Devices connected through HDMI give out the highest quality format available, achieving the best possible quality from that device. Having to deal with just one cable cleans up and simplifies the entire installation process, while greatly reducing cable clutter. The 2 HDMI connections in this HDTV make setting up a home entertainment center easy and hassle free by giving you the ability to connect two different high definition audio and video devices (like Blu-ray players, game systems, cable boxes, and more) at the same time. This television also comes with one composite input for compatibility with older devices that do not use HDMI.

3D Digital Comb Filter A 3D digital comb filter maintains the integrity of the signal by separating brightness and color information to eliminate interference on screen. It produces a crisp, sharp image, and ensures the best possible picture for your HD viewing. Convenient Features to Fit Your Lifestyle Get more from your HDTV with features that improve your viewing experience and others that open up new possibilities.

Auto Volume Leveler Volume fluctuations when changing the channel or when the program you are watching cuts to a commercial might seem like an inevitable fact of life. Haier's Auto Volume Leveler can eliminate these annoying volume fluctuations, providing you with a better overall viewing experience. Simply set the volume to your preferred listening level and let the AVL automatically adjust the sound level.

PC Input Now you can easily connect your PC directly to your TV to watch slideshows, your favorite websites, or even to stream TV shows and movies through your computer to play on your television screen. It's the ultimate way to share computer features with your friends and family on the big screen.

USB input for music and photo This LCD HDTV has the ability to play MP3 files and display JPEG images. Enjoy music through your TV speakers, or display photo albums onscreen simply by connecting a USB drive.

Unexpectedly FANTASTIC!
By Ethan A. Winning
We have had two new HD TVs for just a bit over 5 months. One is a 23" Sony and one a 32" LG. The Sony hooked up easily, but the LG was like our first color set. We diddled with picture, sound, aspect ratio, and other settings to get the best picture and sound on each channel. I still don't know if the differences between channels is resolution, settings, or in the case of the news, makeup. But we were just happy to get it so that we could see all the face lifts...

Now for the Haier, a relatively unknown Chinese brand of high definition TV. I plugged it into our Comcast cable box using an HDMI cable, and bingo, a bright and sharp picture with wonderful sound. For a few minutes I was sure a mistake was made, and we had been given a 1080p instead of the 720 that was on the box. Perhaps anything under 50 inches doesn't matter. We think that the Haier is just as good and maybe even a little better picture than the LG! Not one factory setting had to be changed!

The sound from the built-in speakers is excellent - in part due to using an HTMI cable - and the Sound Leveler really works. No more spikes when changing channels and it even works on commercials that used to blare 10 db higher than the program.

(The hookups and quality are very good with our DVD player and photographs on a flash drive, but they will not be used very much. The TV will not be used with our computer, so I can't address that either.)

Initially, we had so much trouble with the remote from Comcast, that I was about to give this only 4 stars. We can only get HD through the Comcast box, and the Comcast remote - as bad as it is - should be our only remote. But the Comcast remote would not accept the two codes for the Haier TV, and I thought we would have to use two remotes. I called Comcast, and they gave me the same two numbers that came with their box. I called Haier, and they told me that they DIDN'T HAVE CODES FOR Comcast.

All was not lost, however. I went on line, asked for "Comcast remote codes for Haier," and the second link was a discussion where one respondent said, "Try the codes for DURABRAND."

The third code under Durabrand, and we were set!

I said in the title of this review that it was unexpectedly fantastic. Well, this is a phenomenal TV especially considering that it was the least expensive of all 32 inch HD sets. We now have great Hi Def in our bedroom where, in six minutes, I'm going to watch the last game of the World Series! (Sure, I could watch it in the living room, but I like new experiences.)

There are Better Products Out There, and Better Service...
By JMM
POSITIVES

1. In terms of picture quality, I would rate this set above average. Please note that I highly recommend a 1080p image over a 720p such as this one (particularly if you frequently watch blu-ray as I do), however the difference between the two is not very noticeable on a 32" screen.

2. The sound quality on this TV is pretty good (sometimes the built-in speakers can be terrible on these units).

3. I also like the design of the remote, which is small and sleek. For those who hate those large remotes with a hundred buttons that you never use, this is the remote for you!

**********

NEGATIVES

1. All the important inputs, including HDMI, digital coaxial, and cable are all in the worst possible location - they are located at the very bottom of the TV, in the back, facing downward (see product photos). I suppose this is okay if you are mounting the TV on a wall, but for those who want to use a TV stand it is a real nightmare to plug cables into the back.

2. I frequently use a set of headphones while watching TV (so I don't disturb the rest of my family). In every television I've ever owned, when you plug the headphones into the headphone jack, the TV automatically disables the speakers. With this TV, that is not the case - the speakers continue to emit sound even after you plug in headphones. It seems the only way to turn the speakers off is to use the "Mute" button (the sound still pays through the headphones)... But whenever you go to adjust the volume, the "Mute" is disabled and the speakers turn on once again. This makes it impossible to adjust the volume through the headphones without the speakers roaring to life.

*EDIT* It is possible that I received a defective product, and so this may be a problem with my TV unit only. I cannot say for sure, because multiple attempts to contact Haier about the issue have been unsuccessful.

3. If you have a problem or need help with a product, it seems that Haier is not very responsive. I wrote to Haier by email for product support (about the issue with the headphones). It has been 5 days and I have not received a response. This is too long... in my experience most electronics companies will respond to your inquiry in 48 hours or less.

*EDIT* It has now been 15 days since I first contacted Haier, and have attempted to contact them again since. They are non-responsive to emails.

**********

In closing, I was unfamiliar with the Haier brand when I was sent this television. Upon further research, I learned that Haier is a Chinese company and is the world's largest producer of household appliances, and I guess they are looking to increase their TV presence here in the states - but they have a long way to go.

All the essentials for general TV viewing are here. But while picture and sound quality is at above average, there are many minor issues that prevent me from recommending this television. If you are looking to buy a TV for video gaming or for a home theater, I would recommend a 1080p television from a more reputable brand.

I believe that a TV is a serious investment, so why not spend a little more and get the highest quality product?

Like Michael Scott's breath, it's good, not great
By Any Osprey
I got this TV last week. Setup was a breeze. My only complaint is that the speakers are awful - tinny and quiet. I've never owned a 32" before so my only reference point is the nice, loud, rich speaker set on my 5 year old 42" LG LCD. Going from one room to another is just sad sound wise.

Other than the speakers, it's a great little TV.
