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.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Samsung T260 HD
The picture is great. I gave it a 4/5 because the sound quality from the speakers is not very good. Would buy again.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Perfectly satisfied
Perfectly satisfied - great for TV, amazing monitor.
Cons: sound could be better. I'm using my computer speakers instead cause it's better.
Comcast universal remote working in annoying way with it. But maybe it's Comcast's failure. (Sound cannot be changed continuously, just by pressing one-by-one. Samsung remote very good by the way, but if your cable tv company provides a box with a remote you have to use that one to change the channels. Now we need to use both, one for changing the channels, one for setting the volume. Very annoying, but I'm sure the reason is Comcast.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great multi tasking monitor option
I purchased this monitor about two months ago and have been very pleased with the unit. The main thing that distinguished this unit from others that I was looking at was that it was not just a monitor with an additional RCA video in or a TV with a D-Sub computer input. I can say that this unit is actually both and I am not aware of another that does both jobs as well as this one. The unit has multiple computer inputs (D-Sub and DVI) as well as multiple TV inputs (2 HDMI, RCA, and Coax). To top it off, it even has an HD tuner built in, remote control, and also built in speakers. I also have to mention that the tuner picked up HD channels over my current cable line that my Tivo wouldn't pick up without a cable card.

Now that I finished the complements, here are the things I didnt like. First, as a TV, the images can be sharper and crisper. While Samsung does have another line that has a better TV image, I don't think the performance as computer display suffers. Second, the speakers are very rudimentary, but hey, at least it has it so you don't have to turn on the comp speakers just to watch TV. Thrid, the remote control is pretty cheap and does not match the presentation of this monitor, especially since the unit is supposed to look classy and elegant (it looks like the remotes you see at Walgreens for $5 near the registers). My last two nit picks is that the power button on the unit that doesn't respond so well. As another post mentioned, it is better to use the "ugly" remote to turn the unit on. Lastly, in the age of everyone hanging LCD's from the wall, I didn't like the fact that an adapter for a VESA mount wan't included, even worst it is difficult to find the adapter for purchase. After doing some research, there is a wall mount adapter (model # WMB2400T)available, unfortuanately, right when I was going to order it here, it is no longer available, but some other retailers are still carrying it.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Nice Monitor
- 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


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - T260HD: Excellent Monitor, Very Good TV
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!
