Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Samsung is truly a great product. Comment: I am very pleased with Samsung model T260HD . It is the best Monitor/HDTV that I have had yet . The only games that I play on this monitor is Flight Simulator X and it is not really a game but a learning tool . I find the picture quality is very good and very fast which is needed for this software . As for watching HDTV it could not be any better . This HDTV only has a Digital Tuner but that will be all that is needed in the future . I do have a DVD player/Tuner hooked up to this HDTV as well but choose not to watch TV in analog . Customer Rating: Summary: Great monitor! Exactly what I wanted! Well worth it! Comment: Pros: This monitor arrived with no dead pixels, the ToC red is actually a very nice touch, the built in DTV tuner is worth the extra cost because it will find extra channels. The picture quality in 1080p on the PS3 is wonderful especially watching blue ray movies! Using it as a desktop monitor the picture is perfect. Gaming with this is great because you can see the camper from a looooong distance away! I did a dual view with this monitor vs my 19 inch and man oh man what a difference!!! A guys head would be the size of a dime on the 19' and about the size of a quarter/ nickel on this monitor. Helps a lot getting head shots and shooting long distances. In maps, playing America's Army, I can stand on the opposite side of the map and see the enemy clear as day, take my time and shoot when I'm ready... Chances are, you're going to be called a hacker! Also playing at 1920x1200 you will notice a lot more detail and games will look a lot better. No need to have your webpage's maximized!! Cons: -I find the stand to be great for moving the monitor from side to side, but if you bang the table, the monitor will rock.... It is very stable though, so no worries there. -There is some lag switching inputs, but nothing too serious. -The speakers are not Bose nor did I expect a professional type sound, but they do a great job for watching TV such as NBA games, Sports Center etc. -No PnP, this is what would have made this the ultimate monitor! -Viewing angles could be better, but I only say that looking for a con. I'm always right in front of my monitor and I can see the picture just fine! -I wish this was the ToC Blue version :( I really have to think deep for cons, and that's the best I can do, this monitor is really great! Other Thoughts: To summarize: -Great gaming monitor, very accurate color, I had to do a small fine tune to get the brightness and such perfect, but everything is looking how I expect it to look! -Very low heat! -TV quality on cable is the same as my 51 inch Sony. -1080p on this monitor ROCKS! -THIS IS HDCP compliant! -Wonderful for browsing the internet and general document viewing since you don't have to have everything maximized! -Enough inputs! I can finally say, I'm satisfied in that area. I highly recommend this monitor, both of my neighbors have ordered one after they have seen mine. It is a great all around Monitor/TV for a very respectable price! Amazon has amazingly fast processing, after I ordered it, the very same day it had shipped and was at my house in two days! The box it came in was in very bad shape, but the monitor itself and everything else was in perfect shape. Lowest price online as well... Thanks Amazon! Customer Rating: Summary: Samsung LCD Comment: This TV was totally affordable and well-worth the price. The picture quality is excellent and the set-up is very sleek and appealing. Customer Rating: Summary: Great computer display Comment: I bought this display mainly to use as a computer display, and it works great for that. I have read some reviews on this display where people were not happy with the color when used as a computer monitor; however, with the lighting in my room, everything looks more lifelike with the bluer hue. That being said, it means when I use the display as a TV, the picture was too red for me with the default settings. I have managed to get the picture to an acceptable level, but it's quite "perfect" for me. With my setup though, I'll being using it as a computer monitor, because I record most shows I watch in Media Center. The fact that I do use Media Center, solves the second minor problem I have: the speakers are terrible. I actually slightly prefer the speakers on my Sylvania SRT2119 CRT television I received for Christmas back in 2001. And those speakers may only be monophonic audio, it's not mentioned if they are stereo or mono anywhere on the TV or in the owner's manual, so I don't know. The speakers aren't tolerable for watching the news or other non-action intensive shows, but you won't enjoy the sound with most action shows or movies. Luckily, I have the Logitech x-530 speakers from when I built my computer. They are a vast improvement over the built-in speakers on the TV. I don't really recommend those speakers; I was trying to keep cost down when I chose them. It was $40 for a 2.1 speaker set or $60 for 5.1. I still don't regret the decision, but I will likely upgrade to a true surround sound system soon. My only other complaint is the lack of composite input. But it's not like I didn't know that it wasn't there before I bought this display. It just would have been nice to be able to connect older devices or my Wii without having to buy another cable. Over all, I am thoroughly enjoying this display. Customer Rating: Summary: Much better than expected... Comment: There seems to be plenty of info out there about the Samsung T260HD, but curiously no buzz. Pros: This is a terrific TV/Monitor, easy to set up, terrific TV color/sharpness/minimal latency, lots of connection options and customized settings for its price. Cons: No PIP (you could use a 3rd party tuner stick in PC), sound is thin from built-in speakers (connect to outside speaker unit), no wall mount (some say one is available, not my complaint, CNCL ;-)). However, this monitor cannot be easily color calibrated for Mac/PC color accuracy. The internal controls, ICC profile generation are inadequate to the task. You will not be able to use this monitor for color critical work. Medium colors lack black and yellow, and no amount of adjustment compensates enough. Still, it's great for the money, looks fantastic and at a street price of $499 is a great buy! More Reviews
