Haier HL19SLW2 White 19-Inch Ultra Slim LED LCD HDTV

Pro:
- Very nice appearance, tidy design.
- One of the few TVs available in anything but black.
- Decent picture on digital signals.

Con:
- Finicky remote tends to double your key pushes: 2 often registers as 22 and so on.
- The sound quality is truly appalling, way beyond tinny. It sounds like a cell phone, except without the excuse of fitting in your pocket.
Increasing the volume level simply generates intrusive distortion, but not much more volume.

Bottom Line:
- Speaker performance is inadequate even for a small, quiet room.
- Product rates zero stars. I returned it.

First of all, as this is the only 19" white monitor/TV in the market, you simply have no option but to get it if thats the color/screen size you are looking for. For 22" and 24", "Benq" makes white PC monitors (no sound). For 32" and above, Favi also makes white TVs.

In terms of design, this thing is beautiful. The white is very glossy and resistent, the external built material is very high quality. Regarding the on/off light indicator, its very small and impossible to notice while using the product. But if you look at it, its a beautiful shade of blue for "on". In addition, the small infrared chamber is transparent, so you make take a glimpse of the internal components, very "macintosh alike". Last, but not least, the stand is a very beautiful acrylic glass in an oval shape, connected to the monitor by a silvery chromated alluminium ring. Everything is visually perfect.

The sound speakers on this unit are tottaly CRAP. Ridiculous quality sound, if you use...Read more

The speakers are pretty bad on this little TV. But I bought it as a portable screen for my PS3 and I'll probably hook headphones up to it anyway so I don't care about the sound quality. It also doubles as a computer monitor for me. It does the job but don't expect it to be your main TV in your entertainment center.
