Sometimes Amazon is just plain amazing! -- 2008-12-31
My 6 month old HP 22in went down on me (bad panel button) and needed to be sent back to factory. Since I am employed online I needed an inexpensive replacement to tide me over. I ordered this at 11:30 Tuesday morning and it arrived at my home Thursday at 10:45 AM. This was mid December and I used only the free shipping option. Less than 48 hours...Simply amazing!! The monitor is much better than expected, arriving in pristine condition and every bit as good as my far more costly HP. I fully intend to get 2 more of these for my husband and son. Handles graphics well. Color and resolution just fine. Thank you Amazon for the great service and surprisingly good product.
Happy customer -- 2008-12-30
I've been using this monitor for a couple of days and am very pleased with it. I do have some problems with the size of some things on the screen but they all have to do with some ancient programs which I can't enlarge or the size font used on a lot of web sites. I've managed to enlarge some things such as my browser frame and changed the font size on a lot of my documents to 14. I just hope I remember to change them back to 12 before I print them and that webmasters will start using larger fonts as more and more users switch to larger screens.

It's okay, no problems for our purpose. -- 2009-01-03
We bought this because we needed to put 2 monitors on one desk due to lack of room, so it was the perfect choice not only because of cost but for the room we needed. My husband and I need 2 computers to play online games together so it's perfect for what we need but the clarity is not perfect. The "maps" from our games are crisp and clean on my monitor but blurry on his. Like I said we only use it for games but I couldn't use it for Photoshop or anything I need clarity to perform fine details. You can read emails and type, stuff like that, with no problems but with side by side comparison with my monitor, it's just not as crisp as it should be...but again, perfect for what we need it for.
Good Resolution, Easy Installation. May have Problem -- 2009-01-03
I bought because my laptop screen was cracked. monitor comes with intallation disc but also self installs after plugged into output screen jack. however this was done in safety mode and then rebooting. if your system has password it must be removed prior to installation. my dvd r/w drive stopped working after using this monitor although i am not sure if monitor software is the problem. resolution is excellent. acer tech support is easy to reach and helpful. they were unable to fix dvd problem. the software allows the user to set color and other parameters.

Samsung T220HD Fantastic with one minor omission -- 2009-01-04
Great LCD TV and very elegant design with a fantastic picture for the price.
The one minor omission is there is no component video input (Yellow RCA Video connector) so you can't connect older analog DVD players or older game consoles. The analog audio connections (Red and White RCA) are there for composite video connections for higher quality video inputs.
Amazing -- 2009-01-04
This monitor is great. I got it right here on Amazon for a great price of $286.95, I just waited for the right time to buy it and I found this great price. The picture quality is amazing.
Pros-
Picture quality
Full HD 1080p
Sync between my PC, TV and PS3 is super easy
Remote
Cons-
Not wall mountable(no big deal for me because I have it on my desk as a monitor as well)
If you are looking to save space and have a great HDTV at a great price get this. If you are a college student like myself get this because it doubles as a TV and monitor.

Totally happy -- 2008-12-31
We are really glad that we got this T.V.. we are really happy with it
Great monitor - terrible speakers -- 2008-12-30
I have had my Samsung T200HD for a couple of months now and have hooked up just about every port (well not the VGA) to just about every possible device - PC, BluRay, DVD upvert, older DVD recorder, S-VHS, toslink 5.1 - it all works. And the 20 inch fits in the small space allotted perfectly.
Two things to point out. Forget the built in speakers they are awful and the provided controller is not universal and only works with the Samsung Monitor.

 | HP W2207H 22-inch Widescreen LCD Monitor
Excellent Plug and Play Picture Quality for Mac and PC -- 2009-01-03
I use this monitor with a KVM switch with a Power Mac G-5 and a PC laptop, and it has excellent video resolution for both platforms. I do some video editing with Final Cut Pro, and the size and picture quality are great for editing.
The only down side are the weak built-in speakers, but I wasn't planning to use them anyway. So for my purposes the monitor is a solid 5-stars.
I bought like 80 of them, so I guess I like them... -- 2009-01-03
I needed a 1680x1050 22" monitor with embedded speakers - so here it is...
It does the job, but it is annoying because the damn things won't go to sleep at night (and they are attached to HP hardware). It would also be nice if you could attach the HP terminal box to the back as you can with some other monitors.
The prices vary on this monitor - I've gotten them for as little as $229+shipping.
All in all, it does the job, looks sharp, and people seem to like them. Plus you get a free HDMI cable with every one (LOL)

| Samsung Touch of Color T260HD 26-Inch LCD HDTV Monitor
Nice Monitor -- 2009-01-05
- Great looking monitor
- PC graphics look great (using DVI) but it took me a lot of customization and color tweaking. Make sure your graphics card handles that high of a resolution since the 26" is pretty big.
- It may seem too bright to you first or even the picture may seem washed out (or bluish); that's why tweaking is required to your liking. You can make it look great and sharp after the customizations using the monitor's menu and the software it comes with
- HD looks pretty good but not great (using XBOX 360 with HDMI and HD Antenna with coax)
- This is the best choice I found for PC-Monitor/HD-TV solution. Get this only if you want it for both usages.
- Great size
- Great set of features and many available connections
- You can connect it to a stereo using the headphone (mini-plug) jack that is on the side of the monitor (wire will stick out just a little but no big deal). Otherwise, you can connect it using the optical (toslink aka SPDIF) output on the back of the monitor if your stereo is capable..
- Built-in speakers are so-so since they're very small but I don't use them anyway
- DVDs (via PC) and Netflix Instant Watch look great
T260HD: Excellent Monitor, Very Good TV -- 2009-01-04
I have always been intrigued by "dual use" products, knowing full-well that some compromises must be made to serve two masters, rather than just the primary. Probably the same story here! I built a new PC in early December and needed a monitor to use while 'setting up' the new PC, so popped for the 260HD. As a PC monitor, it is close to the quality of my Dell 24-inch 2408WFP, certainly acceptable to good. The actual 25.5 screen seems noticeable larger than the Dell 24, which is "nice" but not necessarily 'essential'. I mean, rather than just move your EYES, you now have to TURN your HEAD!!! But it is quick, responsive, text is easy to read, and photos are brilliant. Overall, an Excellent monitor. It is now in the bedroom being used with Comcast digital TV. It works, looks very good, but I keep comparing it sub-consciously to my Samsung 61" DLP which is STUNNING when displaying a Hi-Def broadcast. I know that's unfair, so I still rate it as a very good TV. BEWARE: there is no provision on the back of the 'case' for WALL MOUNTING. At $500 on Amazon.com this is a deal!

 | VideoSecu Wall mount for LCD Monitor Flat Screen TV with Swing Arm VESA100/75 -ML10B 1E9
Good for the price, but leveling is a challenge -- 2008-11-23
The unit is sturdy and functions as advertised. However, to echo other reviews, I wish there was a right/left tilt adjustment to aid leveling the TV/monitor.
There is some "give" in the mount when extended, so to get the screen close to level you'll need to attach the TV to the mount first. Then, with the arm extended, mark your wall attachment points. This makes installation a two person operation, and you may still need a couple of tries to get it right.
Great wall mount for a great price -- 2008-11-02
I got this mount for a small flat panel TV. It looks nice and has a solid feel. It was also easy to install.

Samsung has got to be kidding. Stand Renders Monitor USELESS -- 2009-01-02
I can't believe Samsung would offer this to the public. I've been trying to put the stand together now for almost 2 hours. I've used a liberal supply of Olive Oil on the rubber seal and the football shaped socket. All I've received for my work is red sore hands and a sore throat from grunting. I'm 6' 1" and 250 LB and 57 years old and still very physically active. I've used my entire weight to try to insert the swivel to no avail. I'm going to continue to try but have no confidence it will go together.
The instructions offer no hints or directions as to how to insert the stand socket. This is PURE JUNK. If I could give a rating of -10 I would. Believe me this is a very difficult task that Samsung needs to rethink.
OK, I've finally got it assembled.
Here's where Samsung goes wrong.
Holding the football shaped swivel joint in your hand you can clearly see that the two sides are different. SAMSUNG at no time tells you how to properly align the joint with the socket. They clearly mark the joint with a white triangle on one side but they don't direct you to keep to the front or back. I had sat the joint on the table and ascertained that it should be assembled to the rear. Well that's not right. Please refer to the pictures that M. Johnson posted and pay particular attention to the fifth picture, it shows the proper alignment. Once I tried to assemble it in the correct position it wasn't that difficult.
I hate to give such a low rating on such a good monitor simply because of SAMSUNG'S stupidity, but they need to learn how to lay out their directions. I could have very easily damaged this monitor because of their stupidity. I was applying my maximum force on something in the wrong position because they never pointed me in the proper direction. Believe me I'm not a small guy or weak. I had the frame bent at one time that made me think i had broken it. So the final analysis is that while the monitor is good the stand is a disgrace to Samsung. Shame on Samsung for their gross stupidity.
Don't let the Stand Install issues sway your decision! -- 2008-12-31
I wanted to address the big negative issue that seems to bear its head in virtually all reviews for this LCD Monitor. I'll leave the technical and graphical performance to other reviews. (But I am very happy with it!)
I added several photos to the collection for this monitor to show some things I will describe. (You should be able to see them above)
To begin, the shipment box is not nearly as large as I expected, and comes within no other (unmarked) box! If this is a gift, send it somewhere where the gift recipient will not see the package. (Photo)
Besides the Monitor and Stand parts, the package contains a Quick Step Guide, Warranty Card, CD-R Software (User's Guide / Drivers), A Power Cord, DVI Cord, VGA Cord, Cable Holding Ring, and Cleaning Cloth. (Photo)
After unpacking, the assembly of the base stand to the monitor is where things begin to give many people problems. It is unfortunate that I hesitated to buy this monitor simply because of the negative comments regarding this evidently painstaking process. Obviously I got over the fear, and took the plunge.
Jumping to conclusions, the assembly is not really as difficult as I was expecting! I was honestly ready for a battle with this monitor! Prepared with Extra Virgin Olive Oil to lube the "socket", and some workout attire I went one-on-one, and won the battle with ease! (5 Seconds at Most!)
The combination of placing the monitor screen upside down on a solid and firm, but non-abrasive surface (carpet), and a very tiny dab of olive oil rubbed along the rubberized socket of the monitor, the football shaped ball socket joint of the base snapped in relatively easy! (See Photos)
Note that the actual base itself even comes in 2 parts... On the contrary to what the Quick Setup Guide shows, assemble those two pieces together AFTER you have snapped the socket portion into the monitor! MUCH EASIER!!!
Now that I know the quality is good, and realize how easy this is to assemble, armed with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, I will be buying 2 more very soon to complete my 3-monitor array for one of my computer systems!

Outstanding monitor! -- 2008-12-26
We needed to replace the old huge CRT monitor for our 5 yr old twin boys PC but I did not want to spend a lot since kids can be pretty rough on things. I caught this for $89 and free shipping and thought this monitor would suffice especially at that price! It turned out far better than we thought! It is very easy to set up and use. No dead pixels (so far for the week we've owned it). One of our twins has Autism and can get easily distracted and at times will touch monitors and buttons. So I just put a layer of plastic wrap tightly over and partially around the LCD monitor for protection. Then used a bit of black tape to cover over the lighted neon blue on/off switch. And I love how they've designed this LCD monitor with adjustment buttons on the right side edge of the monitor: out of sight and out of mind. This monitor works like a charm!
GREAT BARGIN LCD MONITOR -- 2008-12-22
I puchased this monitor and recieved it on Dec. 19. For 89 dollars with shipping and handling included it was a great deal.I don't believe at this time this review was written you can get a monitor available of this quality for that price that is not used. Compatible with 1440x900 res on connection to my asus 900ha netbook. If looking to save money but not compromise on quality get this while the price is still under $90.
