I never thought there would be so much difference in picture quality but because I had viewed them so close together, the difference was very noticeable.
The VIZIO has a very clear, colorful picture. In high def it is amazing.
We have two of them this size and they have both worked great for over 1 year. We also have a VIZIO 46" as our main tv. It is also terrific and has done well for over two years.
It comes with all the ports that I need for adding components and HDMI.
I don't think you can go wrong with VIZIO. They are quality at a great price.
Best TV I've ever had.
I also sometimes hook it up to my PC using a VGA cable to play movies from my hard drive or dvds which also looks great and can then be played in widescreen however i need external speakers for good sound to play from my computer.
Overall this is a lovely addition to my electronics collection.
At the beginning of the year my little standard-def TV finally blew up after many years of use, and that, coupled with the fact that I didn't want to have to watch the final season of Lost on that piece of junk, started me on my quest for a suitable replacement. I almost always watch TV at my workstation where the only place for a television to go is about 2 or 3 feet away from where I sit, so I needed something that wasn't too huge but was also top quality and relatively inexpensive, and this television ended up being really the only one that met all three of those requirements.
Funnily enough I actually paid more for my mini standard-def TV originally (it was flat screen which was a big deal back when I first bought it) than I did for this HDTV, and the standard-def television was half the size. A great investment and a great television. Highly recommended!
Pro:
1) Nice picture, especially HD. Yakima has HD broadcast channels I didn't know about, and they look great.
2) Audio better than I expected with a small TV like this. My dad is hard of hearing, but I was able to boost the treble and roll off the bass via the menu, and he can hear much better than with the old set.
3) Reception good on digital channels. Rabbit ears antenna from old tv works fine, though this house has really good reception, so you may need a better antenna if you are in a poor reception area.
Cons:
1) Remote control gets the job done, but it's a little hard to find the mute button for commercials. The on-set controls would be a pain to use, like most tvs, so don't lose the remote.
2) A 22 inch diagonal wide-screen tv is really pretty small -- especially when displaying a 4:3 program. Ideal viewing distance is probably around 6 to 8 feet or less.
3) Reception and picture poor on the old analog channels, but they are going away next month, so who cares?
Caveat: Shop around -- we got this set at Costco for about [...] less than the price I see at Amazon, though the picture at Amazon shows a wider base than the one we have. I double-checked the model, VO22L, but maybe there is some mixup?
I bought this TV in particular because aside from the low price which impressed me very much, it had a deal-breaker for me; speedy remote control.
Despite the vast advances in technology these days, TV technology seems to be backtracking, as a 10 year old Philips Magnavox POS TV I've had for ten years has superior quality sound to this TV, and has a faster-responding remote to most TV's these days.
I could not handle a TV that takes 3-5 seconds just loading every damn channel, and so I picked this one because the response time is often times only 1 second maximum. So the biggest value here comes in fast remote respond time.
It is indeed HD and it's small with a large screen, so considering the price it is, it's a good value.
My only complaints aside from the sound is that it appears to have some difficulty regarding some widescreening and HD compatibility:
- There are only two widescreen options: fullscreen and widescreen (or panoramic, which does almost nothing). As such, it seems completely incapable of adjusting itself for watching a widescreen DVD by zooming the picture in on top of the black bars, and you can either watch the image stretched out needlessly with gigantic black bars on top or bottom, or watch a super small image with FOUR black bars---two on the sides as well.
I hope this was just an issue with my DVD player and not something that affects all DVD players with pan n scan abilities. It didn't have this problem when watching a DVD on my Xbox360.
- There's only one row of HD compatible wires. Anyone who knows how to plug in an HD device into the TV knows that aside from SD's yellow-white-red wire configuration, the HD equivalent has green-red-blue added on to the white and red for audio. This TV only has one row of them for use, so I can only have one HD device plugged into the TV at one time. This isn't a big deal.
If you are wall mounting and using a "universal" remote, you will love this little TV.
The only slight negatives are the sound is a little tinny, but that seems to be common to all flat screen TV's, and the remote control isn't very intuitive. But these are very small complaints. I've already gotten used to the sound and it's just a matter of learning the remote.
I have a large Sony Bravia in my family room with the full surround sound set up, so I go there if I want to watch a movie. But for watching TV while I work at my computer, it's ideal. Very impressive little TV, much more than I expected for such a low price.
