Brilliant Color and Contrast in an Ultra-Thin Design

Razor LED backlighting gives it vivid color and contrast with brilliant clarity, and allows for an ultra-slim form factor of just over 2 inches at its deepest point, for a great-looking HDTV that will suit any room.

Optimal Viewing in Any Light

No matter your lighting arrangement, you'll always have the best picture possible thanks to built-in ambient light sensing technology. The E220VA automatically adjusts backlight levels based on its surroundings to optimize levels. The result is a balanced picture that will never appear washed out or too bright.

Superior Surround Sound

This HDTV also delivers advanced audio, thanks to SRS technologies. SRS TruVolume limits volume inconsistencies between programming, saving you from those incredibly loud commercials or smoothing out that action film so you don't wake the neighbors. SRS TruSurroundHD delivers an immersive surround sound experience marked by clearer dialogue, and more precise bass and high frequency signals.

Two HDMI Ports

Two HDMI ports can accommodate your home theater setup and Blu-ray Player, to deliver a full cinematic experience from different sources.

USB Photo Viewing

Enjoy viewing your JPG photos on the big screen with the E220VA's USB port. Here's your chance for a fullscreen slideshow of that family vacation.

ECO HD

VIZIO's ECO HD label means this HDTV exceeds the current ENERGY STAR Guidelines, saving you money on your utility bills while limiting your carbon footprint.

In addition, this display's backlight is more than other backlighting methods, since LED edge lights do not utilize mercury, an environmentally harmful substance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for a dorm room, April 27, 2011

This review is from: VIZIO E220VA 22 Inch Class Edge Lit Razor LED LCD HDTV (Electronics)

I bought this tv from my local Wal-Mart at college. I had a 19 inch in my dorm room before that was a combination dell monitor/tv. I wanted to use that one as a dedicated dual monitor for my laptop, so I looked at new tvs. I wanted something with full 1080p to use with my blu ray player and the digital channels I get at school. I liked this vizio for the price and for the features. It has enough inputs for my needs, I use my dvd player with composite (the component out on my dvd player doesn't work), wii with component, and I have an hdmi cable to hook up my laptop to it (my laptop is my blu ray player). The picture quality is excellent on high def channels and pretty darn good on standard def channels.

The biggest issues I've had with it so far is that the remote isn't super responsive. I have to press the buttons pretty hard to get the volume/channels to change. The sound gets plenty loud enough, but it increments from 1 to 100, so you have to change the volume by about 5 levels before you notice an appreciable difference in level. It would be much better if the sound incremented from 1 to 20 or something.

Overall though, those issues aren't anything I can't live with. My roommate and I pretty much exclusively watch USA and don't change the volume that often, so the remote isn't a big issue. If the remote is an issue for you, I would recommend a cheap universal remote.

As far as looks go, this is a slick tv. It's ridiculously thin and looks awesome! Everyone who comes in my room comments about how thin it is. I would very much recommend this tv for people looking for a small tv for dorm rooms or in an office. It doesn't take up much space and has a nice picture.

I purchased this tv to bring with me to college, and I must say that I am extremely happy with this purchase! The screen is pretty vibrant and beautiful. The TV itself is aesthetically pleasing as well, being very stylish with the bottom speakers. It's also so incredibly thin!

The TV: 22in LED LCD HDTV, for $200 had me sold! There is great value with this television. I use it as a second monitor via HDMI cables, play computer games with it, and have plugged console games into it as well, and everything looks as crisp and nice as other TVs.

The volume, channel, etc buttons are on the right side of the tv, and they work well and are unintrusive.

However, I admit that the speakers are sub-par to other televisions. Although you shouldn't expect bose quality sound performance, the quality of the speakers are comparable to decent laptop speakers, but louder of course. However, this could easily be remedied by plugging in a cheap $20 pair of external speakers if sound quality is of any importance to you.

I've also noticed is that when viewed from below, the screen becomes somewhat dark! So customers who wish to mount this tv high should be warned! However, the view from above, and sides are somewhat fine.

Aside from the sound quality and slight view darkening, there aren't many gripes that I have with this TV. The value is astonishing, and it just looks great in general. The TV comes in a box with a handle, so it doubles as a carrying case. Included is also a remote, which functions fine and looks pretty cool, as well as a microfiber[?] cloth to wipe your screen with.

All in all, I am sincerely satisfied!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brand new model 1080p 22 Inch HD TV and it looks sharp!, June 15, 2011

This review is from: VIZIO E220VA 22 Inch Class Edge Lit Razor LED LCD HDTV (Electronics)

Just picked up one of these new VIZIO's and I really like it! The 1080p picture is crisp, and the sound is great. I tried another 32 Inch VIZIO and hated it, plus it threw out a ton of heat. This tiny VIZIO is razor thin, yet provides a full bright picture and does not get hot. It hits 125 degrees out here, and I just fried my old Dell. Just as well, it got red hot, wasn't 1080p, but swiveled and adjusted. I resent these newer cheaper TV's don't offer this feature. The optimum viewing angle for me is off a little, however the previous Phillips 22 Inch HDTV I just returned turned into a negative if you weren't sitting directly in front of it. 200 glowing reviews here so I bought it and thought it looked worse than a 70's TV. Thank you Amazon for your excellent free 30 day return policy too. Since this is a new unit not even available for sale at the VIZIO site yet ("coming soon"), it is hard to compare pricing or reviews. However you can't go wrong with this Model. Also I would like to thank Amazon for the unusual quick 2 day processing and delivery, even with the free super saver shipping. I've waited as long for a confirmation email!
