AOC L22H998 22-Inch 1080p LCD HDTVI've had this set for a week & bought it to replace a 3 yr old Westinghouse 19" LCD set that went up. I use it in the bedroom & have gotten used to the rectangular shape & the 5 second screensaver when the set is first turned on. There is a toggle switch on the back that can be switched off so you don't have to live w/the tiny, amber-colored connection glow. The picture is nice for a 1080 of this size-It has full, 4:3 & movie scale settings that you can set while you watch instead of moving thru a menu. You can also zoom in while watching wide-screen DVDs. Depending on the channel you're watching, the HD can distort on the movie scale setting. There is a Stereo setting for audio however it sounds a bit tinny & not full sound-even w/the surround sound setting turned off.
The manual is printed in English, Spanish & French & The English is written well. It has excellent hook-up illustrations & full explanations of remote receiver functions.
The remote is easy to use & has a Electronic Program Guide, list & favorite channel functions along with a sleep & closed caption function. Menu functions allow you to set picture/audio quality, time & channel locks. The remote is not infra-red so it is useless to me as I use a HDMI hook-up to the cable box. I can/t pair the tv to my cable remote to control the volume or turn the tv off/on w/o the tv remote. The manual does state that the EPG & list functions are only accessible thru the DTV setting which is disappointing as I cannot access the closed caption setting either.
I've decided to return this set as I don't want to use 2 remotes & am researching other brands.

Bought this to wall mount on the wall of my 15 x 12 home gym. Got this, the swivel wall mount, and the materials to build a wall-mounted shelf below it all for under 250. Most of these smaller LCD TVs are made by similar companies. This one is actually made by either Samsung or LG. It changes between models and build date. Both quality manufacturers though. Otherwise, easy to use, light, very good picture quality, and all for a great price. The only small downfall is the sound, but I wasn't expecting much. Just buy a cheap computer speaker system to hook it up to through the headphone jack in back of the unit. So far so good...

Pros:
I love how this TV has so many inputs! I have my Nintendo Entertainment System connected through the coax input (and my VCR over the NES coax input), my Super Nintendo through composite (RCA) input, my Nintendo 64 through S-Video input, and my Nintendo Wii through component input. I also have a GameCube but the Wii plays those games too and there's no more input available (lol). I also use this TV as my 2nd display for my computer. It looks great through VGA (sadly, no DVI input in this TV). By the way, all my game machines are, of course, 240i (I think that's the resolution on the NES) to 480i and 480p, and they still look great on this 1080p television.

Cons:
My unit came with one highly burnt pixel (very noticeable over dark images), along with about 3 other burnt pixels around it that are hardly noticeable. But I can live with that. The sound is not so bad -- considering that computer monitors have worst sound quality and are lower in volume.

Other:
DO NOT buy this TV if you're planning on hooking up your PC through HDMI. The quality is so awful. However, I noticed that it has to do with how computers handle digital connections to TVs, so it's not the TV to blame for the awful quality. If you have an XBox 360 or PS3, I'm sure the HDMI quality will look beautiful. I've read online that ATI graphics cards have a fix to properly display HDMI from computer to TV, but I can't guarantee that since I have an Nvidia card and I've tried so many ways to fix the problem but never could succeed.

I bought this item to use an a computer monitor, attracted by the idea that it could double as a TV my computer room. It does work (I use the HDMI input for the video from the computer), but I have two issue with the product:
1 - Even when my computer goes into power standby and stops sending a video signal, the television does not seem to have an option to similarly power down. It simply displays a message that says no video signal is present. This may be normal for televisions doubling as computer monitors (I haven't really checked to see), but I was disappointed that I have to remember to pick up the remote control and turn the television off when leaving the computer.
2- A bigger is is a potential quality issue. When I recieved this monitor out of the box it has a bright blue pixel stuck on in the middle of the field of view, which was very distracting. I requested a replacement which Amazon graciously provided. I didn't notice any trouble with the replacement at first, but two days later it has what looks like a purple pixel stuck on. It's not as bright at the stuck pixel on the first unit, and it's further toward the edge, but this is seems like a definite quality concern.

When the box arrived, it was so damaged that we wondered how the TV itself fared. We were pleasantly surprised when it came out of the box in excellent condition. Simple, snap together stand was very easy to put together. There is also the option to wall mount the TV if you purchase a wall mount kit. I connected a VCR (through the tuner) and a Blu Ray DVD player (through the HDMI) to the TV and they both worked great. There are also RCA and analog monitor connections available. Quite a bit for a budget TV. The picture is certainly sharp and acceptable. The only problem I had with this TV is a single dead pixel in the upper right corner. This TV is mostly used for playing movies in widescreen so the pixel is not really a big deal as it falls inside the black bar on the top.

First off, for the price point this HD is a great value. 1080P, and many inputs. I have had AOC/Envision monitors for 5+ years and never any problems at all.

Very good contrast and sharpness of the picture. Looks great for football or dramas.

Sounds is ok too, you need to actually play with the settings and then it sounds good.
I also got it hooked up to my PC and it does a great job. Instead of buying a monitor and a HDTV PCI tuner, I purchased this tv.

Very happy, will not be disappointed.

I bought this TV for a christmas gift and was very pleased with this. I recieved the TV in only 2 days...free shipping... and for the low cost I was very surprised what a great product and great quality it is. I would recommend this product highly.

This tv is perfect and at such a low price you really cant beat it. great picture and 2 hdmi ports. great for xbox, bathroom, gym. id buy this again and for anyone

This TV for the specs and price pretty close to unbeatable.

Only con it had one dead pixel but hardly a dead breaker can barely even noticed it ever.

I bought this tv for my bedroom to have hooked up to my roku box. I had used it for less than 15 hours when the screen went all static then off. The tv no longer powers on. The led on the front changes to blue for a second after hitting the power button but then goes back to orange (standby mode). I wish I could return it, but I threw away the packaging.
