This handy little portable TV has a 7-inch LCD screen that switches between a 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratio.

“Port Saint Lucie Review” 2010-07-21
By Zboss
The antenna that comes with the TV was broken on arrival and the box was previously opened (Amazon take note!!!!!!!!) but the antenna really had no chance anyway. It was junk. I went to Best Buy and got a cheap RCA antenna for about $10 and it worked just fine. I got about 6 or 7 stations which is more than I used to get on my analog TV. The picture quality is very good when you get a station. I don’t know about battery life since I have not yet tested that. Overall, this is a good buy.
“Great little tool for photographers!” 2010-07-18
By MiRSD
This review is based on the TV strictly as a photographer – I did not use the Antenna/TV-Functions of it.
Most cameras nowadays include video-out functions – mostly to connect to a TV or monitor and display your photos without needing to download them to a computer. Some cameras (most DSLR’s and some point and shoots) allow you to see the photos live as they’re taken, or even see the live preview (“Live View”) before the shot is taken. That’s what makes this a neat little item!
Before getting this, I looked at various models – I ended up with the Haier for 3 reasons: Battery life was good, it uses a normal A/V input (Red, White, Yellow — a lot used a proprietary connector), and it has a tripod mount on the bottom.
While the tripod mount is a bit odd for those looking to use it as a TV, it’s an awesome addition for a photographer! Mount it on a gorillapod, a tripod, a monopod or even a superclamp, and that’s exactly what I did. I was able to connect the TV to a superclamp, attach that to a monopod (gripping it) with a DSLR on top, and an AV cable connecting the camera to the TV. This gave me a live view of what the camera was seeing (allowing me to hold the monopod up to get high-angle shots), triggering it with a remote shutter release ( Yong Nuo New 2.4GHZ Wireless Remote Control RF-602 C1 for Canon EOS 30/33/50/300/300D/350D(REBLE XT) and 400D (Reble XTI)/ 450D/500D/550D/1000D/ Contax N /645 ). I found it to be VERY helpful in checking focus, reviewing shots and seeing what was going on when there was no way for me to view the LCD screen on the back of the camera. I imagine this would work fantastic for those who do video (being able to look at a larger, detachable LCD screen while either you or someone else is working the camera — especially for those high or low shots where you just cant get behind the cameras screen)
For this purpose, it did a great job. Battery lasted a long time, only issue was the odd resolution it uses (somewhat low, but so are all of these portable TV’s). It seems rugged/sturdy and don’t see having any problems with it. For what I wanted it for, it did everything very nicely!
“Clear image in a large metro area” 2010-07-16
By Poufus
I bought this TV because I had a security camera in a hard-to-reach location and I needed a monitor to use when adjusting the camera. But I soon found it to be a great little TV for the kitchen. My wife has taken it over. In the city we live in, it gets many channels very clearly. We tried taking it to our rural vacation home, but it found no channels there. All it was good for in that location was to hook up to a DVD player or game machine. It is great here in the city, though. It scans for channels quickly and easily. My one quibble might be that the sound does not go loud enough. It is acceptable, but not especially loud, when we have it up all the way.
“not usable for an external monitor!” 2010-07-14
By Yuri A. Reiter
Upon reading reviews and doing some research I purchased this unit. When I first plugged it in to the video camera as an external monitor i instantly came to Amazon to write this! The resolution is SO low I literally cannot tell if the image is in focus or not. As a tv it may get the job done and the rest is really not that bad. but the quality of the image is horrible to the point I would assume give it to a homeless person as a gift.
