Reviews & Ratings for 26" T260HD Widescreen LCD Monitor/HDTV I purchased this tv for 329.95 dollars which IMO is a great price for such a product. It looks nice and plays 1080P movies well. I use this mainly as my PC monitor and cable TV secondary. Builtin tuner is very handy just plug in your cable and it will scan all channels easily. It takes time to scanner all channels though. Looking to buy another one once the price drop lower.

Reviews & Ratings for 26" T260HD Widescreen LCD Monitor/HDTV Pro's:
It's big, sharp, and relatively affordable. Good resolution, various input options, TV tuner.
Con's:
1) Colors are off, seem very bluish compared to "better" monitors. Difficult to adjust, depending on input source different options are available, but neither in DVI, HDMI or Antenna mode the RGB sliders are available. 2) Not wall-mountable unless you buy Samsungs overpriced "bracket". 3) Takes a while to wake up. Got some issues waking up at all when connected to a PC in a multi-monitor setup. 4) Limited viewing angle, especially when looking at it from slightly below. Might be an issue if you use it as a TV.
Verdict: Good value for regular computer work, lots of screen estate. Not good for graphics/image editing due to bluish tint.

Reviews & Ratings for 26" T260HD Widescreen LCD Monitor/HDTV Trying to find a great hdtv for a low price can being a long and daunting experience, especially when you live in NY. Everything is overpriced and overtaxed, but when you want something, you want it now. I have been debating ordering online, since I didn't know how long it would take to ship, get here, sign for, etc. All I have to say is order from PC Connection. I got it in two days. It was fast and arrived in perfect condition.
About the tv: It comes with dvi and vga cables, along with a driver cd for your computer. Comes with a microfiber cloth to wipe the dust (which it does accumulate) Comes with a cheap looking control, that is shaped awkwardly. Also the stand, tv, and a plastic piece to keep your wires organized.
Picture Quality on TV: The picture quality is unbelievable, especially compared with other models/brands in and above it's price range. I watch netflix movies and play video games through my xbox 360 hooked up with an hdmi cable and it blows you away. The crisp picture is something that you will always come to appreciate. I receive channels through an hdtv antenna and the tuner works brilliantly.
The Sound: I would have to agree with everyone else regarding the sound. It does seem a bit muffled with some things and then with others it's perfect. I have turned it up all the way and it will still seem drowned out, could be the signal or the fact that I live on a busy street.
The Shape: I have a 32" samsung and they all seem to have that rounded back shape to them. It's kind of nice, but makes it look thicker than it should. Regardless, the red highlight and front of it look amazing.
The touch power on button (like the ps3) is an elegant addition. It has a good amount of inputs for what you may need and a good amount of picture options. My 32" has more options and inputs, but then again it cost more, so what do you expect.
This tv is a great buy. You really won't regret it, if you use for gaming or just watching tv, I have yet to hook my macbook up to it, but when I do I will update the review.
I definitely think adding surround sounds speakers will enhance the tv. Other than that perfect.

Reviews & Ratings for 26" T260HD Widescreen LCD Monitor/HDTV I found that the comments regarding the vertical viewing angle to be correct. The picture does darken a bit when up close and viewing it from a few inches below the screen. I gave Picture Quality a 4 star for this reason. Also the speakers are a bit weak, but I have a surround sound system with my computer anyways, so no big deal. The HDTV works just fine, picks up all the HD channels from my cable company. Blu-ray Movies look pretty good on it. Game play on the monitor is good (I play all types of games, FPS' look just fine on this Monitor. Using my PS3 it doesn't look as good as my Samsung 40" 1080p LCD TV, but that's to be expected). Overall the features and the price of the Monitor/HDTV is excellent. I would recommend this product to even my family members... oh and by the way, I do like my family. :)

Reviews & Ratings for 26" T260HD Widescreen LCD Monitor/HDTV I saw PC Connection deal for 26" LCD TV and with free shipping thought it too good to past up. The deal said while supplies last so I got two and have installed the first one and couldn't be happier. Both units arrived quickly and undamaged.
Thanks PC Connection.

Reviews & Ratings for 26" T260HD Widescreen LCD Monitor/HDTV This is my 3rd LCD Monitor, coming from Dell FP2001 to Viewsonic VX2235B to this one. The screen size is huge and no ghosting for my FPS games so far. To be able to use as LCD TV is a plus for me too.
Since it is a TN panel, so I am not expecting good image quality or view angles. everything I can configure with color profile to get as close color as my FP2001. it's not a problem for me and to my superise, the color/image quality for TV part is much better (default setting) than the Monitor part. Not sure why though.
The embeded speaker is a joke to me, it's ok to use them to watch TV, but I still prefer my $300 headphones when I listen musics on PC.
It's a good buy for me and everyone should consider it when it is on sale.

Reviews & Ratings for 26" T260HD Widescreen LCD Monitor/HDTV I'm a college student but I wanted a TV/monitor so I can play games and do landscape layout of some of my engineering schematics. This TV/monitor does all of that and more. Games looks great and reaction time is fast and also that fact that it is 1900x1200 native it seamlessly blends with my main monitor well. OVERALL i recommend to all especially at a 330 Price point.
Sound is horrible btw, but the tv has a optical out for my logitech z-5500 system.

Reviews & Ratings for 26" T260HD Widescreen LCD Monitor/HDTV This dual purpose monitor is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a large monitor so I could go without my glasses.
I find the video very compelling and while I am not a professional reviewer, nor a gamer, I can't imagine expecting more that this from a computer monitor. Maybe the gamers need something this unit can't do??
DVD movies look great and there is NO motion blur, and text is very acceptable especially with your MS Clear Type setting on.
The fact that you can use this monitor as a digital Hi-Def TV with "built-in" ATSC OTA tuner and remote is a big plus during football season when I need an extra set! I do have a very capable video card.
Built-in speakers are only good for opening e mails. Very limited, but who cares? You all have nice speakers sitting there. I split my analog audio out with a Radio Shack cable, and ran one into the Samsung monitor and the other into my main receiver that powers full size speakers for the computer system.
That way just for e mails you have audio, but with no extra effort have instant access to your main audio when desired. Easy. Set the monitor volume on the right side of the chassis to about half way or so and just leave it alone from then on. Use keyboard volume controls from there.
It's a keeper, ..... as is PC Connection! Great service. Good company and I will do business with them again. Very nice monitor. Get one.

Reviews & Ratings for 26" T260HD Widescreen LCD Monitor/HDTV The large number of inputs, combined with the ATSC and QAM tuner, make this an outstanding all around TV and computer monitor. It also looks very good when it's off :-). One of the better purchases I've made in a while. The shiny surround does attract dust like crazy, though. The sound is, well, good enough. If you want great sound, use the optical output to feed an external device.

Reviews & Ratings for 26" T260HD Widescreen LCD Monitor/HDTV This is the second Samsung TOC LCD HDTV that I have bought. the first was a 22", now we bought this one to replace an older but still good 13" tube TV. The picture on the TV is awesome, but the speakers sound hollow. It lacks the low end of other TV's but what can you expect with a computer monitor turned HDTV. Colors are bright and I didn't need to adjust any of the factory settings. 2 gripes about this product though:
1. It does not have composite inputs or outputs. Our family still has VHS tapes and watch them, we also still record with the VCR, so the inability to watch VHS tapes is a downer. It only has component video in.
2. I wish the monitor came with VESA mounting instead of requiring the additional mount, which seems can't be bought anywhere. The mount should have been included with the box instead of a separate product.

Reviews & Ratings for 26" T260HD Widescreen LCD Monitor/HDTV I purchased this 26" Samsung T260HD Widescreen LCD Monitor/HDTV to be used as a kitchen tv. It looks great on the shelf and the picture is fabulous.
I loved how easy it was to set up and auto-tune.
I read a number of reviews before purchasing. The main complaint was the poor speaker quality. Perhaps because the tv sits in a box of shelves, the sound is just fine. Due to those reviews, I had brought home some small computer speakers. I plugged them in and did get a nice boost in quality though for my use (the news or sports) it wasn't necessary.

Reviews & Ratings for 26" T260HD Widescreen LCD Monitor/HDTV I've mostly been using it as my HDTV w/ my PS3 and it works great. Really easy to setup an 1900x1200 resolution is good for multitasking as a monitor. No dead pixels. Speakers are surprisingly good for 3W but don't expect theater sound. You can always output the sound to an AMP or external PC speakers. Get it if you see it on sale!
