Ok, just opened and setup my Haier 42" L42C1180 TV (Dec. 5th). Hooked up HDMI, it works beautifully. Light years better than my old 720p set. I then hooked up AV1/AV2...oh no, BIG PROBLEM! No AUDIO. I've tried every button in the menu. NO LUCK. I email customer service tonight. I will update when I get a response!!! 3 stars for now....1 star if CS can't fix, 5 stars if CS can fix!!!!

We purchased this TV on Black Friday. Wasn't expecting too much from it since the price point is so low. However, it has an excellect picture and we love it! We bought it for the bedroom. I wish we had bought another for the living room now! Highly recommended.

This was a fairly average television that I bought cheap around christmas. It died about two months later and, now going on week 5 of the warranty claim process, no one seems to be able to tell me any progress is being made.

Video was excellent, audio was a bit below par, and the company has as of yet to show any usefulness.

Edit Update: It took around 8 weeks to get through the warranty process. They have no notification system so you have to keep calling customer service for updates (many of which will be 'in processing'). They lost my paperwork once, but were fairly quick to find it when I told them exactly to whom and when it was e-mailed. In the end they replaced the unit with a refurbished one that seems to be working fine. Here's hoping that I won't have to do this again in two months.
