Top Recommended 20 & 22 inch LCD TVs for 2012
(chosen by editors Robert Wiley, Jack Burden and Phil Conner)
Below are our thoroughly scouted 20" & 22" LCD and LED TV that we feel comfortable in recommending for 2012. Many of these TVs have been reviewed either this year or the determination made from last years review of the previous model. These recommendations are based on price, quality, and value. In some cases there may be more than one recommended TV for each category. In our review testing lab we look for consistency in a brand and model series in many categories such as Picture Quality from both standard definition and HD resolution. We look for good features and aesthetic appearance with a solid working platform from the menu and remote control.
Samsung LN22D450 Editor's Choice: Quality
22" LCD TV 
Samsung's 2010 4 Series LCDs are a step up from the 3 series. Available in the same sizes they still feature a 60Hz, 720p, CFL backlit panel, with SRS TruSurround HD. They add a third HDMI input, the ability to watch video off a USB thumb drive and Samsung's AnyNet+ which allows communication between similarly equipped Samsung home theater equipment.

Sony KDL22BX320 Editor's Choice: Value
22" LCD TV
I'm not usually a huge fan of 720P televisions these days. It's not actually because of their lack of the full HD1080p specification, it's because the manufacturers often do not put enough processing power in them to enable excellent video quality. In other words, they arent putting their best chip sets in their lowest priced TVs. Luckily for the BX320 it doesnt much matter since the TV is only available in 32" and 22" sizes. At smaller size picture flaws are much less noticeable.
Toshiba 22C100U
22" LCD TV
The C100 series from Toshiba are a line of affordable 720p televisions available in a range of smaller sizes. A PC input allows the C100 series to double as a PC monitor and Toshiba's Photo Frame feature turns the C100 series into a digital picture frame displayig your photos in a customizable slide show.
Gaming mode bypasses the picture processing to lessen the input delay often associated with HDTVs. This feature is a must for console gamers or gamers using the C100 series as a PC monitor.
Toshiba 26CV100U LCD/DVD Combo
22" LCD TV
The CV100 series from Toshiba are a line of affordable 720p televisions with a built in DVD Player available in a range of smaller sizes. The built in DVD Player makes the CV100 an excellent choice for bedrooms, kitchens and home offices, a PC input allows the C100 series to double as a PC monitor and Toshiba's Photo Frame feature turns the C100 series into a digital picture frame displaying your photos in a customizable slide show.
Coby LEDTV2326
23" LED TV
The LED back lit 26 is a step up from Coby's CCFL back lit LCD TVs. They feature 1080p panels and come in a variety of sizes. All models are meant to be able to double as a PC monitor and inlcude the requiered connections.
