The Perfect Portable TV: Haier HLT71 7 inch LCD TV. This 7″ inch portable television by Haier is a great digital travel television and has become one of the best selling televisions in 2009! Because of its built in battery system and digital tuner, viewers can use this television on the road, by the pool, or on vacation. Our reviewers used this television in a number of different scenarios and agreed that the Haier 7-inch LCD did a great job of picking up digital over the air channels. The portable Haier LCD has a nice 7-Inch wide screen active matrix TFT screen and has audio/video inputs to hook up just about anything, including a handy car AC adapter for use on the road. Using the USB port and the 3-in-1 (SD/MS/MMC) card reader also gives you the ability to use it as a digital frame or as a portable music device.
Haier HLT71
The Haier HLT71 provides viewers with a program guide that informs viewers of the previous and the upcoming TV programs, regardless of the station you’re watching. The Haier LCD has also provided a small kickstand that allows the viewer to watch hands free. Although the display is not a high definition (HD) set, it does a great job of displaying standard and HD channels.
We should also mention Haier HLT71 only works with digital inputs (i.e. over the air, satellite, or digital ready cable) because it is only equipped with an ATSC tuner. This small LCD is not equipped with a DVD player either, so if you are looking for a portable television with a built-in DVD player you will have to look elsewhere. Our reviewers agreed that sound quality and volume was sufficient for its small size. Don’t expect great things out of the small twin speakers. The sound quality was slightly improved when we utilizing standard over-the-ear headphones.
We found the Haier HLT71’s battery life was about what we expected under normal use. We tested the battery under several conditions and the lithium-ion battery generally lasted between 2 hour and a half and two and a half hours. In fairness to this television, it does come equipped with a AC power cord and can be connected to a car adapter.
All thing considered, this is one of the best portable digital LCD televisions on the market today. Although it retails at $130.00, we’ve seen it Amazon for under $70.00. Out of the portable LCDs we’ve tested, this is our top choice. Purchase with confidence!

if you are going to use third party USB cables, makes sure that they have the RU or UL mark for best performance.;,:
