"Excellent 24" Monitor/1080p HDTV" on by SublimeJackman
Pros: Bright, Sharp, 1080p24 works like a charm, excellent color reproduction
Cons: Good not great viewing angles, cheap sounding speakers, no wall mount.
Summary: I purchased this monitor about a week ago, and have it connected to my PS3(HDMI), and MacbookPro(DVI). The first thing I noticed when I hooked it up to my Mac is that the picture is bright, sharp and text is easily read. I then hooked it up to my PS3 and the monitor auto corrects the aspect ratio to 16:9 and it properly displays 1080p24 (which is something that 90% of 1080p HDTV's can't do). I watched a blu-ray and the picture was clear and was without jarring, motion blur, or pixelation. The only drawbacks to this display are the VERY cheap sounding speakers, the viewing angles are GOOD but not great, and it lacks the holes for wall mounting. I would definitely recommend this display for anyone looking for a smaller 1080p HDTV or a larger monitor.

CNET has few things wrong with the discription they listed. First of all the picture they used looks NOTHING like the actual display. Since Samsung released two similar models (T240, T240HD) the picture used for the T240 is a CLOSE match. Next is that like MANY other websites CNET lists this display as having SRS. IT DOES NOT, it does however have basic stereo speakers built-in and an optical out for digital pass thru. The base on this display does NOT swivel, and it does include a built-in ATSC/NTSC TV tuner.

HDTV broadcasts are extremely pixely as are upconverted dvds via PS3. Blu-ray looks great. I noticed some motion smearing with MotorStorm: Pacific Rift also.
