Haier HL22XSL2 Black 22-Inch Ultra Slim LED LCD HDTV

The picture quality on the unit seems to be ok, but the sound quality is terrible. I thought something was wrong until I saw another couple reviews that said the same thing. If you try to turn it up at all, or turn on some bass... it just distorts like crazy. I ended up connecting an aux sound source in order to tolerate it.

Pros
Good value with many features (many I would never use). Picture is clear and crisp, shows motion well.

Cons
Poor viewing angle. Picture is dark unless viewed head on. Especially poor when viewed from below (We have it on a shelf above the kitchen table).
DirecTV remote does not control TV. I tried all 4 Haier codes and tried cycling through all codes with no luck.
EDIT: per another user's comment code 10056 will work with the DirecTV remote.

So far, I'm thrilled with this TV. I haven't had a real TV in a year since the "digital transition." I've been waiting for the right one to come along. I was looking for a multipurpose TV and this one is really more than what I expected.

So far, I've only hooked it up at home, but I intend to use it in my bus (RV) as well. Others have complained about the sound, but I have it hooked up to my surround sound system at home and will also have it hooked up the same way in the RV. The picture is outstanding! Maybe I'm still used to seeing TV on CRT units, but the LED/LCD screen is great...viewing angles are outstanding too. I've been watching TV on my 13" laptop LCD screen for a year and this TV blows it away (as it should). I like that I don't have to sit directly in front of the TV to be able to view it.

I bought this TV at the suggestion of others who've used it in their campers. Because the power transformer is external, it will easily adapt to life in an RV...Read more
