Nice looking, what's old is new again, as they coursed from the Apple iMac[TM] look, back to basic black and square.

Other than that, nothing good to say, yet. Just bought it today, but so far it still looks and feels cheap, virtually unusable as a monitor, which was supposed to be its main function from 8a-5p.

If someone knows of a tweak for text on this monitor, please send it, as it's so grainy and blurry it almost makes me ill to read it. It's looking like a Costco mega return. There is also a major HOTSPOT in the display panel center clearly delineated when adjusting contrast. Vizio must know this.

Forget the specs, their older 20" model was better, maybe I can get it back.

NOTE TO PACKAGING DESIGN ENGINEERS (this is not about shipping) at Vizio, if they exist. PLACE YOUR IN/OUT CONNECTORS SO ONE DOESN'T HAVE TO BREAK THEIR FINGERS & CABLES TO HOOK IT UP!

I will update after I get a chance to speak with a warm and fuzzy IVR about the VO22L settings to ascertain if this thing is even salvageable.
Oh, another FYI, lost the PIP on this model. I actually used it on the 20".

It's not bad as a monitor. You need to set your graphics resolution 1680 x 1050, however XP monitor plug and play doesn't recognize this as the native resolution and is not a selection in display settings. My Viewsonic VX20 is recognized so don't know what gives here. Anycase you can try powerstrip which lets you add resolutions to the graphics driver. Once doing so, auto adjust on the monitor is very precise and accurate and the text is extremely sharp. Sometime it settles on the wrong alignment if something pops up on the screen while adjusting. You can only access it from the menu to fix it. The HD video is good enough, not great but good for a value priced monitor and the tuner does a decent job picking up analog and digital channels from the cable feed. I plan on using it as a monitor/TV for my son's room. It's a good value for that. Only wish the aspect ratio selection was more accessible. I takes four key strokes to get to the menu selection, it would be nice if it were a direct key on the remote which little more than the basics. The 16:10 aspect ratio means all TV viewing is stretched vertically, unless you are watching a 4:3 source in widescreen mode which is stretched horizontally but not as much as a standard 16:9. However, having the extra monitor resolution is nice over the 1360 x 768 for comparable 16:9 models.
