Haier 42EP24S

Pros: For the price, it has an incredible color and clarity in HD.

Cons: It is just a monitor. Hook up a receiver and cable and you've got TV.

The Bottom Line: Bought at a low price, I'm extremely pleased with the quality and durability of this plasma. I would puchase again at a higher price after comparing to more known brands.

Review: This 42" Haier is actually a monitor, which simply means you must hook up a tuner to it to receive television channels. We bought it at Sears for only $588. It was a discontinued floor model, however they never had a tuner hooked up to it, nor did ...

Pros: Great Picture. and color!

Cons: Cheesy remote, and no tuner...big deal.

Review: I mounted on my LR wall yesterday, hooked up a new Sony Surround DVD system, and the picture quality and color are absolutely stunning with a DVD. I haven't hooked up my Dish network to it yet, but it should be good also. I have a 2006 Samsung 47" LCD ...

Pros: Styling, SOUND, easy set up, inputs , stereo output, light weight

Cons: none after a week of heavy use

Review: Although I am no expert on plasma TVs...I did research both online and in stores for about 2 months before purchasing this TV. Most of the Plasmas I looked at looked great with very little difference...although I was very disappointed in the clarity ...

Pros: Great picture easy to use

Cons: Don't count on getting any parts soon if something should go wrong with it

Review: We bought this TV on sale at SEARS and we real enjoyed it until we had the same problem of having to reset it. After 1 1/2 years the TV went black. I have been fighting with the customer service department. NO PARTS AVAILABLE!!!! We waited almost two ...

Pros: low price, good picture quality

Cons: "buggs in software"

Review: Shortly after 1 year of use the picture went out. It only produces sound. I have had an off and on problem with espanol cc popping up out of the blue and the on off switch freezing (you have to unplug it the reset it). I hope that extended service ...

Pros: Nice display when it works

Cons: no customer service, very unreliable

The Bottom Line: Don't buy it! You'll regret it.

Review: This TV is very similar to the 42hp25BAT I purchased on Black Friday. Right out of the box, it would turn itself on and off (scary). Called Haier, 3 weeks later they had never returned a phone call (I had called them at least 10 times by then) but they ...

Pros: Good price, nice picture and sound.

Cons: Non-programmable for other remotes, POOR RELIABILITY! NO PARTS AVAILABLE!

The Bottom Line: Look at ANY other brand first, or buy two, so you have spare parts.

Review: We bought this on sale at Sears, in late November of 05. Price was great and the picture and sound could not be beat. One irritation was the lack of compatibility with any other standard remote. Leaves you having to use two remotes to control the TV ...

Pros: Cheap price

Cons: Short life, no customer service, expensive parts

The Bottom Line: If you have money to waste this is the product for you. VERY SHORT LIFE!

Review: I bought this TV at Sears, was impressed by the affordable price. I put it up on the wall, and about a year later it died. I turned on the tv one evening and was about to watch a movie I had ordered on demand, and it made a popping noise. Immediately ...

Pros: Great picture, when it works

Cons: Short life, expensive parts, odd angle for remote to work

Review: Tv worked great for the first 8 months, then the video control board failed. Repair service came, checked the set, ordered the part. 3 weeks later the part arrived, took the service people another 2 weeks to show up to replace the part. About 8 months ...

Pros: TV is fine when it works.

Cons: Pay the extra bit and get a quality product with a consumer oriented company.

Review: Within a few months the screen started looking fuzzy. I called it in under manufacturer’s warranty. First they sent me to a repair shop that doesn't repair Haier TVs. Then they sent me to another guy who said he was waiting for them to send him a part ...
