Vizio 22" FHDTV 1080p ....Mine is fine!5
I bought the Vizio 22" 1080p LCD at Sams Club. The model number on the manual is(VO22L 10A) I'm not having any of the problems that the other reviewer is having like the slow channel or the small font on the channel display. I bought my first Vizio three years ago and have bought two more for the other rooms. None of them have given me any problems yet. Is it possible that there is something in the setup on his/her dish/cable receiver that could be causing this?

Remember, if your TV is acting strange, there is a real good possibility that you are in need of proper setup. With all of the options in dish receiver and TV setups these days, it's really easy to have something on the wrong setting.

One easy way to find out is to hook up a good old fashioned set of rabit ears and run your TV's channel set-up. If your television doesn't find digital channels, move the antenna or TV into another room and try it again. My experience is that location within the house is far more important than the quality of the antenna when receiving HDTV signals over the air. A lot of these TVs won't tune into a channel unless it has previously found it during setup... even if you manually punch in the channel number!

Once your TV has successfully found the digital channels during setup, try moving the TV back to the location where you want it. There is a good chance that your TV will be able to pull in the signal. Be patient and experiment with different locations.

Excellent as a Monitor, Too4
Like another reviewer, I bought the Vizio VO22L at Sams. My first Vizio, I'm impressed by it. Due to space limitations I need to use the same device for both computer monitor and TV, and the Vizio works great in that role. (According to Sams Club's web site, theirs is model V022LF (which is the model Vizio's web site advertises), while the Amazon/Target model is V022L. It looks as if the part numbers are interchangeable, as mine (from Sams) is labeled V022L on the back.

In any case, the V022L has a nice display for HD content, but what impresses me more is the display I'm getting via a standard RGB connection to my desktop PC. I was worried that being unable to use the DVI-D connector from the video card would result in a degraded display, but the clarity at 1920x1080 through RGB is astounding (especially after running Microsoft's ClearType optimizer). All I had to do was upgrade my (nVidia) video driver and connect the monitor. I wouldn't think of using 1920x1080 on a smaller display, though, as (at least for me) the desktop features would be way too small.

Two (minor) complaints: the sound quality isn't as good as I'd prefer (2x3W output), though for the PC it's fine (and there's a standard connector for audio input to the monitor); and, the remote lacks a dedicated source button for RGB (there's one for each of HDMI, TV, component, and AV), so I have to use the Input button to scroll through the list to select RGB. Those are quibbles, though.

Another plus, the TV came with an HDMI cable.

I'd certainly buy this model again.

Vizio 22" LCD Works Great5
I bought mine at COSTCO one month ago. The on-screen letters/numbers are 1/2 inch in height so I find them perfectly acceptable because I can see the channel numbers clearly. The picture is fantastic. I have no problem changing channels...it takes about two seconds for the channel to change. (I'm using TimeWarner Cable.) The Vizio name at the bottom of the frame is a soft orange when it's off, and a soft white when it's on, so it's not a distraction in the kitchen where I have the set.
