Haier Unveils Ultra Slim LED LCD TVs

Last week at CES, Haier unveiled its ultra slim LED TV lineup. Available in early February, the 19-inch and 22-inch models are ENERGY STAR 4.0 qualified and use about 30% less energy than standard units by lowering the On Mode power consumption levels. The effective date for the Energy Star Version 4.0 requirements is May 1, 2010. With LED panel technological breakthroughs, it is now possible for Haier to achieve exceptional picture quality with energy efficiency.

The 19" and 22" models are sized perfectly for use in the kitchen, bedroom…even the office. Hang it on the wall or place it on the stand; then hook up your Xbox 360, PC and audio equipment and you're set.

New to Haier's 2010 lineup is the USB Time Shift function. Simply connect a USB drive to the USB input and you can pause, rewind, or fast forward the program you are watching. The time-length to playback depends on the USB drive's memory size.

Features Include:

• Ultra slim cabinet – Depth less than 1.6"
• 1 HDMI, PC input, 1 component inputs
• USB input for Video, Audio and Digital Pictures
• MPEG2, JPEG, MP3
• Pause live TV with USB Time Shift
