 Great Value November 10, 2008

I am very pleased with this TV. Mostly because there are virtually no 24" LCD TV's out there. Also, most TV's this size come with 720 dp....this one has the 1080 like the big sets. Very pleased with picture and sound....and value.
Excellent hybrid pc monitor/hdtv!!! September 11, 2008

First, to the the guy that gave this monitor 2 stars, you need to give yourself 2 stars for your own logic. Samsung never marketed this monitor as a reference monitor for video editing. It plainly states it is an HDTV monitor it's not a LaCie or an Eizo. Folks, all I can say is forget that review. This hdtv/monitor works extremely well as a standard pc monitor. The image is crisp and clear at the native resolution (1920*1200) and the colors are great. I also use this as a gaming display for my 360/PS3 and that is where it really shines. Plenty of adjustments on both the component and hdmi inputs to get the color/contrast/brightness to my liking. What I really enjoy are the scaling opitions. It can be set to a full screen mode so it slighty stretches a 1080p image vertically or 16:9 mode which keeps the aspect ration and letterboxs the image and the best mode which is sought after on many displays is "just scan" This is 1:1 pixel mapping. No stretching and no overscan. Many options here to get a great image. As a pc/gaming display its really hard to beat. No input lag that I can feel either. Get it if you've got the cash!!
This TV was made for me. August 29, 2008

Short and simple I bought this monitor because I like it's features and it's looks. Hands down this TV looks way better then most TVs out there which if you're buying an HDTV monitor you need to like the way it looks and features take a back seat to that. In today's HDTV market the only TVs with better features are the ones just shown at a demo somewhere. Its not a matter for me in having the best but having what I want, and something I enjoy looking at even if its not turned on. If you want a pro monitor why the heck are you only spending $500. I own a PS3, Xbox 360, a PC, and I watch TV, so this TV has all the right inputs a turner a qam turner it really is a dream for me and I don't think I could have done better at the moment. If you are planning on buying this monitor know why you want I did and I'm a happy man, oh and it's a 1080p TV don't let somebody that doesn't know what they are talking about tell you it's not; I have owned this TV for a month now and it works as advertised which is all I wanted.

OK first let me say I purcahsed this to connect to my Dish/Panisonic DMR. and to use as a monitor for a 2nd computer.
It works perfect. It did not come with the HDMI cable so I had to dish out another $40 to connect the DMR to the TV but the quality is greate.
As a monitor I run 1920x1200 and its as crisp as my other 24" Samsung monitors I use on my main computer system.
I have used the VGA on the TV to connect a lap top and it looked good as well.
Cons:
- The Front Power switch just does not work. I have other Samsung monitors with this kind of power switch and they work very well. On this TV it does not. You have to use the remote control to turn the TV on and OFF. This to me is a manufacturing defect.
- Speakers are loud enough for a quiet room but sound tinny. There is no external speaker output asided from the side earplug but this can be used to connect a set of external speakers.
- The only way to get the advertised Doulby digital is to use the fiberoptic output connector. This means you have to have a very expensive speaker/amp system.
- No Picture in a picture
- No Svid or NTSC inputs.
- The standard stereo input is share by both the PC and DCI vid input.
- No rear mount screws for alternative mounting options
Pros
- Each input has its own video adjustments.
- Great picture on both TV and monitor modes
- Many zoom/picture modes at the touch of a button on the remote
- One of the brightest monitors I have ever used.
- Stand tilts and swivles
- 2 HDMI inputs as well as Componet, DVI and VGA inputs
- Very good veiwing angles and good contrast ratio
- Sleep Timer
I have not had the chance to use the Tuner in the TV as I am in the basement and use it with my Dish/DMR.
Give it six stars! August 8, 2008

So there is no mistake, this review is for the Samsung T240HD. It appears that others are posting reviews here for some other product because there are no cons to this HDTV/Monitor. I read the specs posted by Samgung before I purchased the T240HD and was impressed. I already own a 52" 1080p HDTV so to compare the T240HD, it is a fabulous 1080p HDTV and a spectacular computer monitor. It handles all inputs perfectly. I have a Playstation 3, a PC, and digital cable (no cable box) hooked to it. All modes are clear, sharp and bright. The remote is full featured and it handles Blu-Ray as expected. I paid $479.99 after shopping and watching the net.
Why would anyone want to wall mount a 24" TV?
For the 500 buck range, nobody else comes close in quality and features.
