good buyJanuary 17, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
i bought this television about six months ago when the price suddenly dropped from $699 as it listed now to $499. I had planned on buying the vizio brand 32in LCD but when the haier price came down to $499 I couldn't pass up the deal. Yes, it is a chinese brand which I am sure would scare a lot of buyers off, but for what I paid, this television is almost a steal. Its a 720p resolution but at the 32in size you can't tell the difference and the picture is still very good even with regular cable. I have a PS3 hooked up through the HDMI and the picture is amazing for both PS3 games and blu-ray discs. Its also a bit sleeker looking than the vizio which has the awkward silver speaker at the bottom. My only complaint would be that the remote it comes with is not always very responsive. Once you figure out a good place for it to work, it is fine though. I just sit in the same place on the couch and it is good. Overall, if you are looking at brands like vizio or olevia and can get this tv at the price I did, I would go for it.
