Haier HLT71 7-Inch Handheld LCD TV
The Haier HLT71 portable LCD TV gives you the ability to enjoy your favorite television programs anywhere, any time--in your home or away. Watch the morning news without having to get out of bed, or while sun bathing in the back yard. Does someone else have dibs on the TV room? Pull out your HLT71, and you've got your own TV room. This handy little portable TV has a 7-inch LCD screen that switches between a 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratio. It has a built-in ATSC/NTSC tuner with detachable antenna enabling you to receive crisp reception of your favorite channels - even after the digital-to-analog switch in June 2009. The HLT71 connects to other devices with an audio/video jack and coaxial output. Watch with others using the built-in twin speaker system, or plug your headphones into the included jack to enjoy your favorite programs without disturbing those around you. The rechargeable Li-polymer battery offers up to 2.5-hours of life between charges -- enough time to watch an entire movie or several episodes of your favorite show without a recharge. The HLT71 includes an AC power adapter, a car adapter and a Remote Control.

Haier HLT71 7-Inch Handheld LCD TV Reviews
While I don't have this model I do have applicable experience on portable TV's. First, if you like your TV and expect to keep it a long time go ahead and buy another battery ($31 at Amazon). Why, you ask. Haier is not a big name brand and really doesn't have a great reputation for service. As such I would not depend on them to have batteries available 2 years from now at any price. There might be some third party batteries available but so far my experience with them is 100% negative - if the do work they don't last. Lastly, if you want your original battery to last unplug it. I know that is a lithium/ion battery and that it should tolerate a constant trickle charge. Go tell that to the millions of laptop owners who work at a desk always hooked up to 110v and then they take their laptop away from the office and get only 30 minutes of power even with power saving measures turned up to the max. People who constantly in and out of the office get pretty good performance from li-ion batteries. Those that leave their devices (including TV's) plugged in for months and think that they should have 100% of expected performance available will likely be disappointed. Why does this happen? I expect that the more intelligent chargers which charge, test, and cycle the batteries are beyond the budget of these devices although I don't let HP off the hook for this reason. I know this suggestion conflicts with the reason many buy such a TV especially those looking for emergency service. It comes with a car adapter that will run and charge at the same time. You weren't going to get but a couple of hours of service anyway so you were likely going to exercise this option as it is.
Perhaps when Sony and Panasonic enter this market we will have answers for both issues. My second gen Panasonic DVD player (circa 1998) had batteries which didn't deteriorate unexpectedly and were still available in 2008 although at a price almost as much as a new Panasonic DVD player.
Got this TV for my wife for Christmas. Tried it out. Picked up all the local digital channels without a problem. A few days after Christmas, tried it again and the TV worked fine; however, I couldn't get the remote to work. Changed batteries etc., still no good. Called customer service. After 30 minutes of explanation, they said they would replace it. However, they wouldn't do anything until I sent in the warranty card. Did that. I'm still waiting for the replacement. Called customer service. Remote is back ordered; could be at least 90 days. If you need or want to use a remote, don't but this TV.
I like this little TV with one exception. It lacks an antenna that is strong enough to pull in weaker broadcasts. If you live in an urban area, you're OK. Picture quality in nice, ease of operation is right up there, and what can I say about portability of a 7" TV?!
Bought it as a gift for my father so he can watch his World Cup soccer matches while at work (at least the over the air games).
Previously purchased portable TV's (like 8+ years ago), were bulky, in black and white, poor sound/picture quality, hassling with super long antennas, and compursome.
However, this Haier TV was none of it. It exceeded my expectations and my dad loved it! I also loved it so much that I bought a second one for myself to keep in the car!
It's super bright clear picture and sound quality are great. Easy to program, convinient, light weight, comes with a remote control, and is hassle free. Easy to use, right out of the box, with a quick programming needed to pick up all the signals. It's digital TV ready (which was one of my greatest concerns) and needs no additional cables, filters, etc. needed. Just push the button that says "program" and you're done after about a minute or two.
If you're looking a for a portable TV, this is a good choice.
I was very pleased with this TV. It was simple to set up, brought in more channels than I expected. And it has a pretty picture. My M-I-L also got one and can make it work without problem.
