This is what happens when a bunch of video amateurs, known for making REFRIGERATORS, tries to muscle in on the video business. God save us.

Got it out of the box and the stand was broken. "No worries", I thought, I had planned to wall-mount anyway. Within 3 weeks it starts to randomly - and frequently - shut itself off. Not just turning itself off but powering all the way down - and won't come back on for hours. Again, I thought "aggravating, but thank goodness I got the extended service plan". WRONG! They're giving me the runaround (company is "NEW" - Amazon lets these crooks advertise right next to these products). Maybe it will all resolve - but in the meantime, I have no TV. So buy yourself the good name brand and save yourself the considerable aggravation. The Haier brand is suppose to be big in Europe. Europe may come pick up this TV at any time! Well, it's over two weeks later - finally got a call back (they're suppose to return your call in 24 to 36 hours). I called 9 times. Extended warranty won't cover because it's still covered by the manufacturer warranty. So they (Haier) have me describe the trouble (TV's stone-dead) and then they order the part they think it might be - nobody comes out to look at the set. It takes 7 to 21 days for the part (if it's the right guess?) to come in. Then they're suppose to come out and install - and hopefully it works - hopefully I described "dead" well? Run! Do not walk from this TV.

I bought this tv February 10, 2008. At first, I loved it. But yesterday the menu screen started popping up randomly and frequently. I did some troubleshooting but it's still there. I tried contacting Haier but ended up leaving a message because I didn't want to wait on hold all day. A tv is pretty worthless if you can't watch anything because the menu screen is up half the time.
