Samsung 2333SW 23" Widescreen DVI LCD

$235.00 Est. at Amazon

from N/A, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: this monitor only operates on 60hz, and since it is a progressive scan rather than an interlaced scan (that's what the "p" and "i" stand for in tv resolution) it's pretty obvious when
from www.amazon.com
while setting up the monitor it reminded of my samsung lcd tv because it gave auto adjusts to not only clarity, but to size and color, or custom to your liking.
from www.amazon.com
and while it's too small to be very good as an hd tv in a living room, it'd make a pretty good inexpensive hd tv in a dorm or bed room (if hooked up to a computer, of course...it doesn't have a tuner)
from www.amazon.com
fire it up, go to the displays option in system preferences and it's sitting there with a tv-presentation setting of 1080p.
from www.amazon.com
one of the things about monitors in this size is the 16:9 viewing ratio - some are not, and if you are interested in watching hdtv on your monitor then you'll have black bars at the top and bottom of

Samsung SyncMaster T260

from wickedpete, www.shopping.com
the bottom line: great all around tv!?
from Triguy, www.newegg.com
once again, samsung comes through like a champ.i own a samsung ln46a650 46" 1080p 120hz lcd hdtv with the "touch of color" feature and this monitor complements it perfectly.
from DCook42, www.newegg.com
:p other thoughts: i actually downsized from a 32" hdtv to this monitor, and formerly i was running 720p most the time.
from ///T, www.newegg.com
right now i am using it as a tv for my xbox 360.
from Dick Splash, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: after seeing samsungs series 6 tv's some months ago i was curious to see if they made a monitor in the same style and i was pleased to find they did.

or you can connect it to your cable provider hi-def box therefore instantly converting monitor to small hdtv.
from John C, www.newegg.com
1080p video is amazing on this monitor, looks better than it does on my brothers 1080p philips tv.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
but this isn't designed to be a tv so it doesn't lose an egg for this-vga/dvi inputs are a bit too close for my taste, making it kind of difficult to have both, since i have to use both.
from Chris516, www.newegg.com
the speakers are good enough for watching tv but that is about it.
from www.amazon.com
first - the picture on this monitor (being used as a tv) is absolutely perfect.

Samsung T260 Black

$480.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it's nice to have multiple connections so that you can use it as both a monitor and a television simply by changing the input (assuming you have a cable box connected to it).
from www.amazon.com
originally, when i purchased this second samsung product for our home (because we were so happy with the first), i thought i had purchased the same product (the t260hd model with the tv tuner).
from www.amazon.com
i have owned the samsung t260hd for three months and can say that the monitor is great for casual pc use, gaming, and hdtv or bluray dvd viewing.
from www.amazon.com
excellent, is a pc monitor, but a tv functions, more cheap like a lcd tv.
from www.amazon.com
lastly, since it has an hdmi input, i can hook up my cable box to it and use it as a tv as a bonus.

$361.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
colors are fantastic, it produces very little heat and makes a fine tv/dvd monitor for the bedroom.
from revresxunil, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: it looks like a mini touch of color samsung tv as far as the shell is concerned..
from www.amazon.com
after looking around and knowing samsung produces some of the best hdtv lcd tvs i bought this model and so far it's been a great choice.
from martside, www.newegg.com
video editing is way cool, too, as i have wider timelines/storyboards and can now view video in the same resolution as my tv.
from beofor75, www.newegg.com
i have two samsung lcd tv's now and stand behind samsung with their quality and appearance.

from xanalyth, www.newegg.com
the only feature this monitor is lacking is a coaxial input and a tv tuner, and i wish it had it.
from soupy, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: although a nice feature, i would prefer to be able to adjust the eco mode to off, as it will dim the screen during low light scenes while i am trying to watch tv through my computer's
from N/A, www.newegg.com
i tried it, and the graphics are extremely good, but it's not as relaxing as kicking back while playing on a tv.
from www.amazon.com
since i didn't want to tie up my tv all the time, i needed something with both hdmi and dvi-d for the pc.
from www.amazon.com
hdmi hook up is nearly pointless as its not used, displayport is coming to be a standard for both tv and computers.

i have my ps3 connected via hdmi at 1080p and an xbox via vga at 720p and it is just as good, if not better, then on my tv.
from www.amazon.com

from ntai, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: with prominent hdmi log on front, it's more like tv than monitor.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
screen with no hdmi/component signal other thoughts: overall im satisfied with my purchase, although i definately wish it had a remote as i did buy it as a multipurpose computer/tv solution.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
didn't get it for tv, but plugged it into a blu-ray player using hdmi and it had a really good picture.
from Chris, www.newegg.com
everything just looks like it should.love the variety of inputs; this is basically an hdtv minus a tuner and remote.price.
from T from Phoenix, www.newegg.com
movies and games are amazing, watching transformers in blu-ray with the 2ms delay is like watching it on my hdtv running at 120 fps without the funny look of the extra frames.the webcam is nice

Samsung Touch of Color T240HD 24 LCD HDTV

$402.00 Est. at Amazon

from Joaquim, www.newegg.com
excellent gaming monitor and stunning hdtv.
from Justin F, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: i previously purchased the t240hd which is the same monitor but with a digital tv tuner and the appropriate inputs found on most hdtvs.
from James, www.newegg.com
the 22" has lower resolution, and the 24" has a built-in tv tuner, driving the price up.
from steevee, www.newegg.com
hdtv, dvd, bd, hd-dvd and games all look great cons: i would have preferred the usb ports to be more accessible for easy plugging of devices.
from Elemino, www.newegg.com
and about 15 other major companies' monitors and tv's.• is there any better?

there is no discernible effect of this mismatch on using it to watch internet video or tv [that looks awesome on this large wide screen], but it does lead to ghosting of some text lines when used as
from www.amazon.com
i really would prefer to not have to swap my xbox and pc constantly, but very few monitors have multiple ports because it's generally accepted that monitors are for 1 purpose and tvs are multipurpose.
from www.amazon.com
if you don't have a headset, or want to use this as a tv, i'd suggest looking at something with a tv tuner (they tend to have better speakers).
from N/A, www.newegg.com
doubles fine as a tv.

i really like this monitor for movies and tv shows as well as it seems to bring out the colors more so than my old monitor (19” lcd about 4-5yrs old).
from AF!ve, www.newegg.com
i can see where people complain about the viewing angle, but no biggie to me as this is a desk lcd and not a tv.

pros: very bright, super duper bright , 50,000 contrast seems to be accurate, very fast, very good for those crt to lcd skeptics to transition, 2ms lcd is way to go, 1080p, 1900x1200 resolution,

from wat, www.newegg.com
i even used this with my hd cable box (via hdmi cable) and it totally blows away my sharp aquos tv.
from Ged, www.newegg.com
tried to use my sony 34" crt 1080p television (don't laugh) with a dvi to hdmi cable dongle, which might get by for games but not truly useful.
from superslimeAK, www.newegg.com
lots of connections, you can hook up more then one computer and a tv feed and select the input you want to use.
from MarkG, www.newegg.com
- a nice idea that is difficult to see in pictures.all the other lcd monitors i have used, including an lcd tv, pale in comparison.
from www.amazon.com
for sake of comparison, my 20" monitors and even my 32" monitor (used as a tv) have nowhere near as much color shift until viewed from at least 70 degrees to the left or right or about 50-60 degrees
