You may have seen my initial [June 2008] Review of the Vizio - VW 26L HDTV when I first purchased it.  I did not have much positive to say about it...pixels drive me Nuts, signal has to adjust, unpredictable TV-VIEWING, etc. 

More and worse problems occurred after the 2009 TV-signal-change.  For quite a while, I had to regularly [weekly] scan my TV Channels.  I would lose viewing of channels 2, 4, and 50 - that's a lot of channels when you don't have cable and/or satellite TV.  I have BASIC TV - I don't pay to watch TV.

But now I enjoy my VIZIO VW26L HDTV much more!  I feel confident now with getting all my basic TV Channels.  I even bought a Plug-and-Play Game!

Some of the FEATURES I ENJOY MOST include:

  • ON-SCREEN TV-GUIDE - up to 2 days program-viewing
  • EASY connection for PLUG-AND-PLAY GAMES [in place of my VCR connection]
  • SLEEP TIMER - although I fall asleep before I even think about using the feature!
  • SCREEN SIZE OPTIONS - WIDE, FULL

I felt that one purpose of my purchasing an HDTV was ease-of-transition to the New Signal at February 2009. 

Early on, following my purchase of the Vizio - VW 26L HDTV, I purchased a Lazy Susan, on which to place my HDTV - so that I could easily rotate the TV for signal-finding and ease-of-viewing from the chair or sofa.  Some people have found that they need an Antenna for their HDTV.  Prior to purchasing the Lazy Susan, I had to keep the TV STAND at an angle. To date, I have found the proper TV-positioning on the Lazy Susan for my TV Signals.

My only complaint that I have now is that when using the remote control, THE CHANNELS CHANGE TOO SLOW FOR ME. There is too long of several seconds-pause between channel-changing...too slow for the fast-paced world!
