Welcome to a review of the Haier LE55B1381, 1080p, 120Hz LED HDTV. Per Haier, the LE55B1381 features a sleek modern design with speakers that are sure to enhance your entertainment room. You will enjoy full HD 1080p and fast response time which displays full-motion, fast-moving video without any blur. Enjoy your audio with a sound leveler and distortion control which offers exceptional sound on the hidden speakers. The LE55B1381 has two component inputs and 3 HDMI inputs which provide a simple solution for high quality audio and video input. The USB input can be used for video, audio and digital pictures. Included with the TV is a universal remote control and swivel stand.

While this set is a valid option if you’re looking for an affordable, functional 55-inch LED TV, you should be aware that it certainly does not compare to high-end LED TVs as described by Haier. The contrast ratio is adequate and the picture is decent but compared to the higher end models it fails in comparison. The refresh rate is also fine at 120Hz, but you may see some blurring during faster motion scenes. All of this makes the picture fairly decent but nothing special.

With that stated, the sound quality as well is rather poor, especially if you do not have external speakers. As far as connections go, the Haier LE55B1381 offers three HDMI ports. Unfortunately, this model does not have an Ethernet port, therefore if you don’t have a wireless router, you’re out of luck for internet connectivity with this TV. On another note, the menus are decent at best but still easy to navigate with use of a TV-5620-124 remote control, which is included with this TV.

PROS:
• Decent price
• OK picture quality

CONS:
• Sound Quality
• No Ethernet port
• Mediocre across the board
