Pros: This monitor is simply the best compromise between those who want a large computer monitor, and but also who want to be able to watch tv with it. It is also the only monitor of it's size with an hdtv tuner that does 1080p. I have this in my dorm room right now, and I must say the size is perfect. Any bigger and I would have no desk space, while a 24" would seem a tad small. Once you complete setup, the colors are vibrant and lively, and samsung's tv tuner hardware automatically scans the available channels and removes the scrambled/unviewable ones. On top of that, the remote is very intuitive to use and has buttons for commonly adjusted settings (such as picture size, closed captioning, etc). Finally, the aesthetics of the ToC line can't be beat. The monitor, whether off or on, just looks amazing. Great design.

Cons: Requires color calibration out of the box - this is not as big a con as it seems. Just set color mode to "dynamic" when you're watching tv, it makes it look a lot better. And from the default brightness, bump it up to 60 or so. Poor vertical viewing angles - Having used Samsung's S-PVA panels before, (215TW and Dell's 2408WFP), the viewing angles are definitely not as great. But they are as they are advertised (170 horizontal/ 150 vertical). Horizontally, the color distortion is very minimal which is fine. But vertically, the viewing angle is much more limited, and it is easy to see.

Overall Review: Contrary to what some other people have said, this monitor is 100% HDCP compliant. I have tested 2 blu-ray players, (one ps3, and another made by samsung) through the hdmi and dvi ports. Both play fine. Slashgear's article on the T260HD confirms hdcp support as well. If you are a serious designer (video, graphics, etc), this monitor's gamut is pretty decent, but not great (mid 80%'s). I would still recommend the dell line of monitors for that type of usage.

Pros: First let me say I almost didn't buy this monitor due to a lot of the complaints I read. As the title says, I think they were blown way out of proportion. Please see the *Cons section for more information on these. This is an amazing Monitor/HDTV Combo. While I did have to tweak the standard settings like Brightness/Contrast/Sharpness (To my liking I might add) this thing looked great right out of the box. The remote, while basic provides easy OSD navigation. The touch sensitive button works great and I love the classic samsung tone that plays when you turn it on and off. The thing is very crisp and vibrant, whether watching Blue Rays, Playing PC games, or just browsing the web. Games I've ran through it so far: World of Warcraft, Crysis, Prototype, Wolverine, Sacred 2, CS: Source and Call of Duty 4 and WaW.....all LOOKED AND PERFORMED AMAZING!

Cons: Ok, the only "cons" I'm going to list are the things that I read that almost made me not buy this thing and my take on what I've found so far. Light Bleed: There is a certain amount of light bleed on the top and bottom. Adjusting the Brightness and Contrast changes the severity of it and to be quite honest it's barely noticeable. You can't see it at all while playing games. Wobbly Stand: while it does seem a little less stable than my Dell 2005fpw I replaced, it's nothing to write your congressman about. It's actually pretty solid and is slightly adjustable but not as much as some more expensive LCD's Touch Sensitive Power Button: Works fine, and I'm pretty sure it won't be an issue. Even if it does stop working years down the road you still have a remote control. Washed out Colors, Poor Viewing Angles: Absolutely not the case. Looked great straight out of the box and LIKE ALL HDTV's and TFT/TN LCD's requires a small amount of tweaking. Viewing angles are accept

Overall Review: I've only had it for a few days and it hasn't blown up yet. Mine had a small scuff from the box on the screen itself, most of it buffed out and what was left isn't noticeable. The Natural Color Pro Software doesn't work with Vista 64 bit. No Dead Pixels. Ordered in the morning on the 12th and received it early afternoon on the 14th paying for standard shipping! NEW EGG ROCKS!

Pros: Beautiful picture (after tweaking), high resolution, super easy channel setup. Picks up un-scrambled digital channels via Clear QAM.

Cons: * No PIP: Would have been great to be able to watch TV in a window while keeping the computer desktop visible but there probably isn't a monitor out there that does this. * No height adjustment (but I knew it)

Overall Review: This monitor/TV does everything I wanted and exceeds expectations for ease of use. If it had PIP as mentioned above, it would be unbeatable. I now get all the unscrambled digital channels from Comcast, including Music Choice and (sshh) PPV movies that have been ordered by my neighbors (including some adult stuff so be careful with the kids). * Some analog channels are grainy but that's the signal, not the TV. *As with most TVs, you'll need to adjust the picture for your particular setting. I had to increase brightness to 65 and am using dynamic mode for analog TV, movie mode for most digital stations. It's easy to switch via the included remote.

Pros: Everything i already said, also i found something new out. you can run multiple pc's of this beast. just plug em into the dvi, vga, and the hdmi ports and it will let you switch through em fine! everyone is like wow that monitor is huge! so make sure you want a 26"

Cons: recently bought new stuff for my desktop and between the 2 i had to buy a video card to actualy get it to work. all in all its still an amazing monitor.

Overall Review: get it and you won't be dissapointed(i haven't had to deal with customer support tho)

Pros: Where to begin..great picture...multiple connection choices...and excellent service and delivery from newegg...I use it primarly for the HDTV..I have my dvd player connected to it (HDMI of course) and also my computer (2nd montior..HDMI connection) used to watch blu ray movies and other movies from my computer...can't say enough..perfect for me

Cons: none..so far

Overall Review: I quite sure there are other items that could make it better (PIP)..however, for the price, it's and excellent multi use monitor.

Pros: - Large. Very. - Good color right out of the box, tweaking makes it even better. - Doubles as HDTV with own tuner - Low latency of 5ms means there's just the teeeeniest amount of ghosting during gaming, but I only notice it when I'm actually looking for it. - Looks classy and sleek. See Cons as well... - Not heavy despite size. - Adequate viewing angle. - Recovers from sleep/hibernate properly. It seems that some LCD's have trouble with that, but not this one. - Powers up quickly. - D-Sub, DVI, x2 HDMI, Coax, and Component inputs. - No noticeable "bleeding" of light around the edges of the screen. - NO dead/stuck pixels. - Bought it discounted @ 330 from 370 :) - Doesn't produce much heat. - Good documentation on paper and the included CD. - Driver for x64 bit Windows available on manufacturer's website. Don't worry, it still works without the driver. - Has speakers. Not very good, but at least it has them :) - Clever little power button. - Dec

Cons: - As I said, it does look really gorgeous with a cool glossy finish, but FINGERPRINTS! Man do they stick out! Might bring out your OCD side you never knew you had :) - Stand is a bit wobbly, not enough to be upset about.

Overall Review: Upgraded to this bad boy from an old 19" 1280x1024 monitor, so you can imagine the grin on my face right now. I was worried it would be TOO big for use as a computer monitor and contemplated getting a 22/24" instead. Turns out it's just perfect. Glad I didn't wimp out and get a smaller one :D 1080p video looks marvelous :D Of course this monitor is 1200 vertical, not 1080 vertical, so you do get little black bars above and below 1080 videos, but I really don't mind. I kind of like them there anyway.

Pros: Great picture quality, played my 360 on it set on DYNAMIC via HDMI and graphics are top notch. Can't wait to try out DVD's and BLU RAY

Cons: Power button is kinda annoying as its hard to tell whether its going to turn on or not since its touch sensitive. Theres a lag to it in other words.

Overall Review: The settings when I play my 360 is 1920x1080 @ hertz. Anyone know if its possible to set it to 1920x1200 ?? I play at 16:9 screen mode if that matters.

Pros: A lot of monitor for the money. Works well with Windows 7. Bright, lots of color. Haven't seen any bad pixels.

Cons: Lack of standard mounting for those who'd like to put it on a wall.

Overall Review: Stand does swivel--the swivel is located under the top housing, which turns with the monitor making it appear that there is no swivel. Also, sleep mode was an issue with the generic PNP driver, but a quick download of the updated driver solved the problem. Awakens from sleep mode within a few seconds. Haven't tried the TV tuner; using this as a computer monitor right now.
