Samsung T220 Hd (22" lcd tv review....1080p!!!)

[djjoshb]

i know its a few years old now, is there anything new on the market that is better?

[TheGoosey92]

Its a 5m not 2m. The T2270 is a 2m. Still a good tv monitor :-)

[PoterasAL]

Youre voice like ICE CUBE !

[888stav]

I need help!!!!!!! I've just got this tv and i'm trying 2 connect my Turtle beach headset 2 it? No joy at all...

[RINGO4LIFE]

THIS TV IS GOOD, but it will break down soon

I own the same Junk box.

First problem is the volume started going up and down on its own. Then the menu started popping on by its self while I'm playing Xbox.

At first I solved the volume issue by using external speakers while plugging a set of headphones in the phone jack to prevent the TV audio from driving me crazy.

Now the Menu pops on and off while gaming which make it impossible to game.

THE TV IS GREAT WHEN IT WORKS. Buyer Beware!!!!!!

[RINGO4LIFE]

Just a quick update.

I fixed the problem I was having with the volume and menu screen popping on and off and going up and down by its self.

This is what I did. I opened up the TV and the area where the menu and volume controls are, I ripped it out by cutting the cable. LOL

I taped the ends with black tape and put the set back together now I have no problems. LOL

Only draw back is I have to use the remote to turn the volume up and down.

My buyer beware warning strike is over. LOL

[sirmasterpimp]

@RINGO4LIFE Do you use yours as a tv or monitor mostly ? I guess I don't see any problems, because I only use mine as a computer monitor (the past year or so). I only use the tv mode when a storm knocks out the cable on my main tv. I run mine around 4-5 hours per day, no problems with it yet....maybe I got lucky with mine :)

Glad you got yours sorta working again.

[RINGO4LIFE]

@sirmasterpimp

Sorry for the late reply. I use it mainly for Gaming in my home recording studio. When I'm not gaming, I have it connected to a Mac Mini. I have 3 iMac computers and 1 Mac Mini.

I live in my studio producing music/videos, so I got a small set so I could game in the same room rather than gaming on my 46" Samsung HDTV.

I'm about to get a new Mac Pro and three identical 27" computer monitors. One monitor will be for gaming. The T220HD will be use as a surveillance monitor.

[McMIxTER]

@RINGO4LIFE this tv looks like shit on consoles

[RINGO4LIFE]

@McMIxTER

Hey mate, the set is cool for a basic setup for gaming in my home recording studio. I'm in the STUDIO most of the time, so a small set works fine next to all my Mac Computers.

My main set is a Samsung 46" HD LCD TV in a clean comfortable environment.

Check out this video to see my gaming setup: watch?v=5BICH6g1EwM

Keep in mind that my gaming setup grew from the date I post the video.

[mekobina2211]

so i can watch tv without turning on comp?

[sirmasterpimp]

@mekobina2211 Yep, no need to have the computer on to watch tv.

[MrJoemumford]

Before you buy one of these JUNK tvs do a google search on samsung tv problems and read consumer complaints on the consumer affairs site. These are the TRUE reviews.

DON'T LET SHAMSUNG SHAMYOU !!

[snapascrew]

im thinking of buying this to play xbox on... you think it'd be good size to play video games on? im gonna have it at eye level like 2 feet away from my eyes when im playing lol

[sirmasterpimp]

@snapascrew It works for me.....I use it mostly with pc games. Just make sure you get the component or HDMI connectors, it won't work with the standard analog AV cables.

[snapascrew]

@sirmasterpimp ya... i might have to get a 19" one but don't know if it's worth it... my current tv is a tube tv that is 20" and not widescreen... so it might be a lot smaller going from 20" 4:3 to 19" 16:9 .... even though my view of site will be much wider.

[McMIxTER]

@snapascrew omg it looks horrible with xbox 360 and ps3 dont get it pls

[SHADOSTRYKR]

i think the touch of color series are ugly, and the only color is red so why dont they jus say its touch of red?

[skiatomic08]

i thought i was watching public broadcasting when i saw the intro..

[bornagenius]

The Red TOC kills it for me. Are you reviewing your life or the monitor??????? 5ms not 2ms & get a better lamp. OMG you almost snaped it's neck. I'm dizzy now

[MrLOLOS1]

plz someone tell me the best settings of this tv!!!!!

[bever49]

DON'T LET SHAMSUNG SHAMYOU !

[bever49]

DON'T LET SHAMSUNG SHAMYOU !!

[bever49]

DON'T BE A SHAMSUNG SUCKER !!

[Mrcrazycoasterfan]

Hey how much was this tv.

[sirmasterpimp]

A little over $300 for me in 2008, It goes for just over $200 now. Great tv / computer monitor for the price.... Works out great for me, I have no complaints.

[Mrcrazycoasterfan]

Hey how much was this tv

[maltyful]

If you check DUMB ASS the other tvs don't have the same number of problems as shamsung. And U paid extra for the warranty.

A big dollar tv should last more than 14 months without taking a DUMP.

don't let shamsung shamyou !.

[29razorbock29]

Samsung SCREWED THOUSANDS of customers with JUNK tvs.

[Addicted2Gamin]

@29razorbock29 ive had a samsung tv for 8 years no trouble atal

[29razorbock29]

@Addicted2Gamin Buying samsung is like playing russian roulette that you won't be screwed. 8 years ago they might not have used the cheap, undersized, junk parts that make THOUSANDS of these junk tvs take a crap as soon as the warranty expires.

[flipleg]

how do you tune this tv i cnt figure it out?

[sirmasterpimp]

do you mean change the channel or adjust color settings?

[flipleg]

i mean like to watch regular tv do i need to buy an aerial or sumthin i just get a "week no signal" message on screen.

[sirmasterpimp]

Oh, you could just connect it to a normal antenna to get tv or you could connect it to a cable line. Just hit menu / channel / antenna and choose between air and cable.

[maltyful]

Do yourself a favor. Before U buy a samsung tv put "SAMSUNG TV CLICKING" into a google search and read about thousands of samsung customers that are screwed and pissed off because their samsung tvs took a DUMP just after the warranty expires. Do the search . Don't be the next SAMSUNG SUCKER !!

[sirmasterpimp]

You can add Lg, toshiba and many others too. Mostly all manufactures have problems with some models, but they seem to correct them in later products. I have also had problems with a samsung tv (a 30 inch crt) which had white lines going at the top of the screen. As far as the reliability of the touch of color series, I'd say they are pretty reliable.

[Nigelxman]

Great review. I just bought this monitor and could not be more happy with it. It's a truly amazing deal for about $200. As far as some people complaining about the speakers. Most tvs have shitty speakers. Hook up some decent monitors and you'll be a happy camper.

[Nigelxman]

Dude, you are the worst kind of troll. It seems that you live to bash Samsung. What a loser.

[maltyful]

Your just too much of a DUMB ASS to do the google search on SAMSUNG TV CLICKING to read the TRUTH. I bash samsung because they screwed me and THOUSANDS of their other customers. DON'T BE THE NEXT SHAMSUNG SUCKER DUMB ASS !!

[Nigelxman]

You really are a piece of work man. lol I suggest seek professional help. Hey, the advice comes free. :-)

[cygorn]

if you check you will see sony and panasonic have the same prob. this has a 3yr warranty, if it last that long it will outlast my dell (the monitor I'm looking to replace) by 2 yrs

[maltyful]

You will be the loser when your JUNK SAMSUNG takes a dump.

[skaca]

good review!

Thanks

[queenlaker]

hello sirmaster. i already purchased this tv last week for nephew for xmas . he will be watching cable & movies.ppl r saying sounds isn't good. how is the sound ?

[sirmasterpimp]

Its somewhat true, the volume is not quite high enough and there is too little bass (normal tv speakers have more bass). I normally just use one of my cheap 2.1 speaker sets with mine (you can find one for about $20). The speakers are good enough for watching tv, but you may want to check and see about some cheap computer speakers to plug into the side headphone jack to be safe. Everything else about this tv is great. It has a very clear and clean picture and works great with games. Great gift!

[drtrdr5]

great video! could you tell me what settings you have it on??

[Inferno50640]

Oh wow you have the same exact laptop as me, and I'm also looking to buy that same TV. You have a good taste in electronics lol.

[sirmasterpimp]

@Inferno50640

LOL, yep I enjoy my high end electronics.

[mancs92]

you sound like ice-cube from NWA

[sirmasterpimp]

LOL

[jordanhowlett94]

btw its 1050p not 1080p

[johnthno]

you cant plug in dvd or ps2 ? . no se ingles pero si me entiendes ayúdame

[ElChorizoPatuano]

Al parecer si tiene conexiones analogas, pero no se si tenga HDMI

[sirmasterpimp]

Ojalá hubiera Insumos tanto analógica como digital para poder conectar mi cámara de vídeo de edad. HDMI es sólo de unos pocos dispositivos, por ahora

[ozkaboy]

would you recomend this monitor for xbox 360 gaming?

[iiTzYoBoyKiiCKs]

yeah i am also wondering if this TV is good for playing on the xbox 360.

[trampolinegods4life]

Same... My mom said i could get it for my birthday and that only a week away. Its 1080p so atleast it would be amazing quality.

[comman321]

how could you show us 1080p video quality if your monitor resolution is only 1680*1050

[sirmasterpimp]

Because thats the closest standard resolution that samsung could come up with. Its actually more than 720p, but just doesn't technically make it to full 1080p. Still looks good enough that I can't tell the difference between it and a 50" 1080p monitor. Most of the time I just play games on it, so its good enough for that. When my old tube tv dies, I will probably get a 40"- 50" tv with a nice hd cable box.

[external25]

its a full hd monitor

[jordanhowlett94]

because it has no difference u can tell the difference the slightest when u play a 1080p on a 768 but on a 1050 its near enuf perfect

[sirmasterpimp]

Then why would you make such a dumb comment on my video. Not only did you not give me enough information about your monitor "duh its a 1024 resolution" wtf does that mean its 1024X???. I respect people who try to get smart with me and actually know what they are talking about and not some moron who has a keyboard in front of him and has just enough brain power to type something stupid to gain attention.....Go look at someone else's videos kid, I have a no tolerance policy for dumb asses.

[sirmasterpimp]

Umm actually you can, I went into many computer stores before I made my decision.....I looked at some 720p models, 1080i and 1080p... there is a very noticeable difference. I compare my brothers 26" vizio 720p monitor to my 22" monitor and the 22" has a much cleaner picture.....also In games (which i play all the time on this monitor in hd) I notice the difference between 720 and 1080, no I can't see huge pixels or anything, but the picture is clearer with 1080.

[sirmasterpimp]

* SDTV: 480i (NTSC, 720×480 split into two 240-line fields) * SDTV: 576i (PAL, 720×576 split into two 288-line fields) * EDTV: 480p (NTSC, 720×480) * EDTV: 576p (PAL, 720×576) * HDTV: 720p (1280×720) * HDTV: 1080i (1280×1080, 1440×1080, or 1920×1080 split into two 540-line fields) * HDTV: 1080p (1920×1080 progressive scan)

[DragonClaw133]

I'm thinking of getting this TV just mainly for gaming. do you recommend it? Sorry if my English is bad... I'm from Germany

[matrixITALIA]

the best t220hd review..there is also the t220..without hd...better 4 gaming monitors...2ms responce and 20.000:1 contrast...good job anyway!

[BlackScorpio999]

great review man ! 5/5

[LooseLatitude]

LOL, I saw that movie. What was it? Manhattan Project?

[sirmasterpimp]

yep, lol

[iamkat2]

Nice job with the review....

[pUrplEnuRpL3]

retail now is 269.99 but this video was 3 months ago

[sirmasterpimp]

yep, its a really good deal at that price........best tv / pc monitor combo I've ever had.

[pUrplEnuRpL3]

which would you recommend....the t220 or t220HD, im mainly going to use it for my desktop and my xbox 360. I was thinking of using a vga adapter for my xbox on the t220 but would it be a better picture on the t220HD?

[sirmasterpimp]

There is no difference in resolution between the t220 and the t220 hd.......the only difference is that the t220 is only a computer monitor and the t220 hd is a hd tv and a computer monitor together.

[NMEdrone]

So you can't use the t220 to play xbox on is that what you're saying?

[sirmasterpimp]

yep, the t220 only has a dvi and vga connector for computer use only the t220 hd has the analog inputs needed to play the xbox 360, ps3, wee etc....

[NMEdrone]

Thanks man you really helped me out!

[h4mm3r121]

how do you do that? 2:26 - 2:30

I mean, how do you sync the monitors like that?

[31Orcas]

Also, LOL at the ending commercials, dunno why.

[sirmasterpimp]

Lol, sorry to reply so late...I couldn't even play my own video until yesterday....it kept saying video unavailable.

[31Orcas]

Why would it do something like that? It doesn't make sense. Some vids that had a comment like 20 minutes ago have said that. I think it's an error.

[31Orcas]

If you look, my computer is jet black and a silvery color, and my Cyber Acoustics system is the same exact silver color, and also jet black. My computer tower and monitor both have a blue LED on their power switches, and my CA has the same color blue LED. EXACT same color scheme!
