Compact and great for small spaces.
(5 out of 5) by M. RIOS on Aug 8, 2008 (NYC)This 19in set with the DVD is wonderful for a small area. You have a great picture and in addition no additional hook-ups for a DVD. The images are clear and the set is already equipped for the change to digital in 2009. I find it appropriate for a kids dorm, a senior's room, etc. I highly recommend it. Could never go wrong with this brand.

Great TV
(5 out of 5) by BSS on Nov 13, 2008 (West Hollywood, CA)Haier HLC19R 19-Inch Widescreen LCD HDTV/DVD CombinationThis is a great tv. I bought it for my bedroom. It doesn't swivel, but it's only a 19 inch, so it's not for a big room. The color is vivid and the settings are perfect right out of the box. Also, it has a very clean looking style. There's nothing around the border to distract your attention. It's sleek and all black. You can't go wrong with this tv.

Convenient Product, But touchy DVD
(3 out of 5) by S. Veeman on Feb 8, 2009 (Oregon)I love the convenience of this machine! We have it at my husband's office for the kids to watch while we work. It's great! The only thing that I dont like is that the DVD player portion is much touchier than the one we have at home. It will freeze and turn off (I believe this is either because it is overheating, or because the disks have scratches... but they are disks that play fine at home). I would buy this same type of product again, but I would try a different brand next time.

Good item for the money; a few quirks
(4 out of 5) by City Of Rocks on Mar 26, 2009Pros:
*Good picture quality
*Good sound quality
*Very good value for the money
*Has a DVD player
*Compact, so it fits almost anywhere.
*Lightweight
Cons:
*As with all LCDs, you have to have this TV right in front of you at twelve o'clock and at eye level to see the picture properly. With the older TVs, of course, you could see it from pretty much anywhere in the room. So if you're replacing one of those with an LCD and your cable wire is in an elevated or off-center position in respect to where you will be sitting to the LCD, and you're replacing an older TV, this will dampen your viewing experience.
*(minor) Unusual remote. This remote is different from the many universal remotes I've used. Things are in unusual places and words you thought of as being the same from other universal remotes have separate keys. If you like intuitive equipment, this is a minor inconvenience.
*(minor) Tech-savvy issue: Don't shut the TV off before setting up the wizard that appears when you first turn it on unless you know how to find the channel scan functions and what have you manually. (It's under menu.) The wizard won't reappear when you turn the TV on again, even if you never set it up.
* Some DVD player quirks. While watching a DVD I tried to turn up the volume but hit the channel button instead. I discovered I had turned off the DVD with that one little faux pas and when I went back to play, the DVD started all over again. Pain in the kiester to have to go to scene selection and try to sort out where we were. If you're very, very careful about what you press, this might end up being a good thing if you want to switch from DVD to TV without having to hit a function button.
Nutshell: We got a very good value for a lightweight LCD with DVD; we can deal with the quirks.

Haier 19-inch LDC TV
(4 out of 5) by D. Riggins on Jan 19, 2009 (North Woods)I bought this for my bedroom. It's nice and compact. The sound is good. You have a few choices on the type of sound you want. The picture is excellent. You can also tip the screen up or down depending on the angle you want.
My only beef is, when you turn it on, it takes about 2 extra seconds to realize its on. the red light turns to green. It makes you think you missed the button. No big deal really.
I love it.
