It had a dreadful, washed-out picture with rotten purity and convergence
... The 15GP22 put it to shame; despite the smaller screen. Motorola put out a recall on all the 19VP22 sets for a factory-designed upgrade to a 21AXP22. Hence it's nearly impossible to find a Motorola with the 19 still in it. There were quite a few sets which left the drawing board with a 19VP22, but wound up in the stores with a 21AX. The GE PortaColor 11SP22 is about the only tube I know of, half as abysmal as the 19VP22 for performance...
