    Amazon.com Product Description
    Beautiful inside and out, the Samsung Touch Of Color T260HD LCD monitor is a great way to get the most out of your PC--as well as watch your favorite 1080p HDTV broadcasts. It features an embedded DTV tuner that enables you to watch digital HD broadcasts without a special receiving set. And with six image input terminals, you can connect several pieces of digital equipment to the T260HD and use them simultaneously. Two HDMI connections make your monitor a multimedia centerpiece. Additionally, SRS TruSurround XT is embedded to improve audio performance.

    The contrast between light and dark colors on the screen is what makes images stand out. The bigger the difference between light and dark images, the more vibrant images will appear. With an amazing dynamic contrast ratio of 10,000:1 you'll enjoy sharper image quality that's sure to catch your eye. You'll also make a style statement with Samsung's new Touch of Color design, which features a hint of color naturally blended into the traditional piano black frame.

    The T260HD is designed to be extremely efficient and uses up to a third less power than other monitors in its class. The unique SoftPower off function lets you put the monitor in standby mode right away, using just 0.3 W of power. It comes with a monitor stand that can tilt up to 20 degrees for optimal viewing and a full-feature remote control. The monitor's speakers reside underneath the screen and provide a total of 6 watts of audio power (3 watts per channel).



    The Samsung T260HD includes two HDMI connectors (one on the side) in addition to DVI, VGA, component video, and RF antenna inputs.

    5 out of 5 stars Bigger, Better   November 19, 2008
    Russell Lewandowski (Houston, TX)
    I bought the Samsung 24" monitor about a year ago.........my wife has wanted it...wanted it...wanted it, so I gave it up. The Samsung T260HD is a multi-purpose monitor, and works well in all aspects....yes, it's a tad strange to run 480 comcast tv thru it.....it doesn't look all that well. But as a monitor it is all anyone could ask for. Beautiful colors, easy to use....just like all the other Samsung products. I loved Sony, but they got the 'Big Head' and have overpriced their products. Samsung smokes 'em! Thank you, Amazon! The price was about the same for both Samsungs, and I have the price guarantee!!!

    This is an excellent product. I mainly wanted it to use as a reference monitor for HD content I'm editing, however, the HDTV capabilities are awesome. I've found that with my cable box the channels look their best when using the component inputs instead of the HDMI input. Also, if you are using it with a computer, make sure you have a beefy video card. (I've seen other reviews that mention soft video when used with a computer)
    If you are buying it to use for TV viewing, it won't disappoint, however, it is a monitor first and made for viewing straight on, unlike TVs that are made for wider viewing angles.

    I would have given this a 5 if i had known it was a computer monitor when i bought it. I can not hook up my curent dvd player due to the lack of inputs..also the remote does not light up.
    other than that that the price was great nd the picture quality is awesome!

    Works good, looks good, good price, good warranty. Fully functional - mainly used as a monitor for my laptop but the quality as a television is great also. There was only one negative excerpt I read when researching this item, it was someone remarking that the picture quality was superb as a television but that the colors weren't brilliant (especially black) when used as a monitor. Mine is used as a monitor and my wife and I both observe the bright sharp colors displayed. It is just one cord to plug monitor to laptop and you are ready to go! I have already recommended this dual function LCD to everyone who mentions buying a 26" television.


    5 out of 5 stars Great HDTV!!!   November 13, 2008

    I use this as a HDTV. The picture is absolutely fantastic. The screen is 25.5 inches almost a 26 incher, but the case is significantly smaller than 26 inch sets. I needed it in the kitchen and thought I would have to go with a 22 inch set because of space limitations but this fit because of the streamlined case. I have it hooked to the cable box with a HDMI cable and could not be more satisfied. I got it for a great price and a $30 mail in rebate. The clincher was the 36 month parts/labor warranty because it also is a monitor which Samsung warrants for 3 years. If space is a problem but you want as big a screen as possible, nothing else beats this.
