My Experience: Summary: Got a great deal on this TV the day after Thanksgiving from Office Depot and now I see why it was so CHEAP. From the very beginning even putting the set together I had problems. The first unit had was cracked when I removed it from the box as if a fork lift had run into it. Office Depot was nice enough to exchange it for me (even though we had to drive 1.5 hours to pick it up since they would not send it here). Then, after some difficulty putting the TV together and getting it working, I experienced the Slowest acting remote control I have ever seen. Haier sent me another remote, but it was NO Better. At first the picture was pretty good. But after about a month of owning this TV, the picture started acting up. The screen had a flashing light right in the middle of the picture. (Usually the light flashes right on a persons head on the screen) ALso, sometimes I can read some words in the back of the picture that aren't supposed to be there. I think that is called ghosting, but not for sure.......All I know is it IS NOT good! Ok, so then I figured it may be my problem.....I bought an HDMI cable to see if that would help. NOPE! I called the cable compnay to see if it was there problem, since a NEW TV should be working fine. NOPE! I called the Customer Sevice Department at Haier and they instructed me to turn off the TV, disconnect everything and then hook it back up.......NO HELP! So as of now I have been calling them for almost 2 months and keep getting told that I will hear from a TV repair man in 7-10 days. Well that didn't happen and then I was told that it would be 7-10 more days, then I was told that the computer system was down....got the same excuses the next several times I called (which has now been around 15 times). Have been told that my problem was being sent to corporate headquarters and they would take care of the problem. Still Nothing! Then the supervisor finally did call and say I would know something in 24 hours. Well, the 24 hours have come and gone and guess what, NOTHING! I am currently waiting for him to call me again. This Haier NO Customer Service department is NO BETTER than the TV I purchased. YOU SHOULD AVOID HAIER TV's unless you want major problems and horrible Customer Service..


My Mother-in-Law had the same TV and has the same problems.......you should avoid no matter how CHEAP it is!!!

Problems: Terrible Customer NO Service!!!
