Samsung T260HD HDTV Monitor

[alonsojoven]

you need to slide ur finger cross the button to turnn on and off

[MIZIKE69]

do i need cable to see the channels

[VGAnxiety]

7:07 goddamn that's some ugly motherfucker

[Nigelk007]

Hi, good review. I also got the T240HD. The 260 was 500.00 cdn and I got the 240hd thats only 1.5 inches smaller on sale on boxing day sale for 289.00 cdn.

As for your pwer button, my 11yr old son figured this out....... dont touch the button but swipe your finger over the on button like a scanner and it will work every time.

[Hardcorxial]

LMAO he tries to press hard on a touch button, it didnt even occur to him that the sensor might be in one of either side of the power "icon". omfg

[explosionguy]

and also you have to slide to turn it off (works alot better)

[explosionguy]

go to channel 100-1 or 100-3 and you will get super clear HD

[mygaffer]

Why is this guy saying it doesn't have an ATSC tuner? B/C he's in UK? In us this monitor has an HDTV tuner in it. I've heard it handles standard definition video very well.

[cepilla]

How does it work with standard definition TV signal?

[Andrew4d]

sucks :S

[PureXgaming]

Will 16:10 still show black lines in wide screen?

[kozes]

yes, 16;10 just = bigger resolution

[FuriousPumpkin]

yeah but with only 120 more pixels those black lines will be quite small.

[strangletmuh]

how to update firmware on this baby? i cant via the menus it says there is none but my is from 2008... and build date of my screen is may 2009

[12lewis12]

Can you set this so when you switch it on it goes to DVI rather than the TV.

I want to use it as a Monitor Primarily, TV second.

[OmarGatlatou]

i have the same tvmonitor (samsung t260hd), i never had any problem with the power button, and the menu is different and even the start up sound is different, i think you need to up date the firmware m8.

[sersam243]

you have to swip you finger not press the the finger on the power heat sensitive button

[valentin0z]

I have 2 monitors SyncMaster T260HD.

LS26TDVSUV/EN have HDTV MPEG4 DVB-T/DVB-C tuner.

LS26TDDSUV/EN have only DVB-T MPEG-2.

Some difference with remote controls.

[AhYaOk]

at :40 why did he say it was a standard tv and not hd? i thought it had a hd tv tuner built into it.

[sersam243]

it is but he probably messed up

[jma90]

lol at you failing to turn the monitor off/on

you need to touch abit under the button, (right about where the red light glows)

[ren1818]

great review! Thanks!

[badger40]

i dont understand why so many people buy this monitor for TV ?? Hello! its main purpose is A MONITOR for a PC!!

[asitmc]

it works as a TV and it's cheaper than a regular TV..

[AnthraxSK]

hmm i do hear more people having this problem tho ....so i understand if you have that problem :^)

[appleuser876]

This guy is really quite dumb because the touch sensitive button only switches on the system not of.

[AnthraxSK]

It does turn it off....i have this screen , and i turn it on/off with the touch sensitive button :S

You need to really use your thump or use your finger good..( first i didn't know it either...i thought only way was with the remote lmao) but i assure you i can turn mine OFF. and ON

[jon4721]

Would you or anyone else use this as a primary tv in say their bedroom. I would put this at the end of the bed looking at it straight on,as the side angle viewing on these are poor.

[xXtogoodXx]

no, this panel has a 170 degree viewing angle.

[LedSandman]

is this screen full hd?

[Rauscher117]

Yeah it is

[gimmeurdosh]

The touch sensitive pad is probably sensitive to heat. It works best when you use the larger face of your thumb, instead of pressing hard with the tip.

[youreadork]

HI mate, I can't thank you enough for a thorough review of this product. I'm in the market for a new monitor and have been eyeing this monitor but can't seem to find a thorough hands-on review on the internet. One question I wanted to ask is have you experienced any problems since your purchase? Looking to hear from you. Thanks again! Cheers mate!

[Tal435]

I was hoping to see how it looks in Blu-Ray, gaming etc. and see if there's any input lag. You also mentioned that this TV has no HD tuner, it should do...

You just talked mainly about the inputs and outputs without giving us your verdict on it. You just ended up saying the model. ;s Not really an review, it's more of a preview.

[CoolCam55]

so does the tv tuner allow you to get over the air stations without other connections or how does that work?

[venom55520]

connect to an antenna and it should work nicely.

[ATMOSSFEARR]

Does the 240HD have USB ?

[iRanotherguy]

no usb

[mafiadk]

I hated this video "review". If you can even call it that. What about PC use, gaming an FPS shooter, or watching a blue ray movie and even playing on console. I am going to order it tommorrow, but heard that HD model is not so good for gaming. You get dobble ms latency then a none HD vesion. But still I am going to try it out.

[tuberoako777]

guys im planning to get either this one or the hp 2558hc.. w/c would u guys prefer? Im not a photo editor btw.. well at least not a pro lol..

what do you guys mean that this is only standard definition tuner? :( It says in the samsungs website that its HD .. Will i be able to watch HD (16:9 aspect ratio) with the help of cable for the coax?.. sorry im still new to these stuff.. thanks in andvance! I really liked the review! it was very informative! :) :)

[WWEtitantr0nz]

no one cares about you...

[aliox326]

wwe, you're an asshole

[WWEtitantr0nz]

Yea i know TNA is better.

[Twistingnether]

Cheers for the review mate!

I just took a random T2xxHD video, which happened to be yours.

I ordered the counterpart, T240HD which is all the same, just smaller, if anyone wonders.

I am happy with my purchase, and thanks to you, I barely had to read the manual to straighten up things.

FYI, I think it depends on the size of your finger, or the angle which you push the powerbutton. Mine doesn't act when I push it vertically with my thumb, but horizontally it does. Try it, mate.

Thanks again!

[bolt4life619]

Im looking at buying one of these. You said it does not have a HD tuner but a SD tuner. If i understand correctly this means i cannot receive HD stations off the air?

[itreviewed]

Correct

[Xsynth]

Incorrect, it does have an HD tuner.

[FreakinaBox16]

@itreviewed Incorrect. You CAN receive HD channels from the tuner.

[SkywayTA]

House of Parliament in HD !!

reminds me of National Lampoon's European Vacation when Rusty and Audrey are desperately searching for something to watch on UK television and they have a choice between cheese and snow : p

[itreviewed]

Ha, ha. Brilliant. Well spotted!

[Magicache]

hey man the touch power symbol on the model was not designed to be touched by the finger vertically but only horizontally. It maay sound weird but its true...try it

[nathan9987]

how do u switch bitwien pc and tv is there a switch somewere or is it the cd you need to install on ur pc? (not so good at that stuff)

[itreviewed]

You just toggle the source input, using the remote or the built-in controls

[amitk19]

clean your room and change the TV

[itreviewed]

Cheers, I'll tell the missus

[amitk19]

I just got my T240HD today! :-D

[MarklarRavencrest]

Ok, so I got mine own T260HD. I'd like to note that the power button works PERFECTLY with me. It works acually too good. I mean it's VERY very sensitive. Also as a PC monitor is unbelievable.

[itreviewed]

Glad to hear you're not experiencing the same problems with the power button as I am. Agreed, it's a great PC monitor.

[MarklarRavencrest]

Thank you very much for this preview. Have ordered it. Can't w8 to get my hands on it

[itreviewed]

Sweet! Glad you liked the video. Hope you like the monitor. Let us all know how you get on with it...

[johnXm]

Does all the bottom edge lights up??? Because i have this Monitor and the only light is the one under the power icon.

[itreviewed]

No, it's just the under the power icon, which should be red.

[Younowkoed]

5/5

[itreviewed]

Cheers Dad!
