Optimal Picture Quality with LED Technology

Like other Samsung LED monitors and TVs, the Samsung T22A350 22-Inch LED HDTV/Monitor Combo is designed to deliver exceptional picture quality with vivid colors and realistic action when you're watching videos or playing games.

Picture-in-Picture Multitasking

Thanks to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) Multitasking, the HDTV/Monitor Combo enables you to watch a TV show and work on your PC at the same time. So you can finish up a work document while you watch the final seconds of the big game on a smaller inset screen.

Connect an HDMI-enabled camcorder, Blu-ray player, or game console for 1080p video.

Exceptional Clarity from Any Angle with MagicAngle

Thanks to Samsung's MagicAngle Vertical feature, you can adjust the monitor's vertical viewing angles by up to 20 different steps, 10 up and 10 down, so that the images on the screen are seen at their best whether you're sitting at your desk or lying on the couch.

HDMI Inputs for an Expanded HD Experience

Built with two HDMI inputs, the HDTV/Monitor Combo offers an exceptional multimedia experience. HDMI provides high-definition digital data from devices like set-top boxes, DVD and Blu-ray players, and gaming consoles. You can also use HDMI inputs to connect devices such as mobile phones and portable consumer electronics.

Enjoy access to USB devices without needing to turn on the computer.

ConnectShare for Easy Enjoyment of Videos, Photos, and More

With Samsung ConnectShare, you can enjoy videos, photos, and other media files on the monitor without even turning on a computer. Simply connect a thumb drive, cell phone, digital camera, camcorder, external disk drive, or other device containing your media files to the monitor's USB port.

Slim Design with a Touch of Color Finish

The HDTV/Monitor Combo sports a Touch of Color design that naturally blends subtle red gradations into the glossy, piano-black bezel frame. At 7.9 pounds, the monitor is exceptionally thin and lightweight, making it easy to lift and move.

Base Hook Keeps Cables Organized

A stand tail at the base of the monitor creates a hook that keeps cables in place and organized. This simple design feature prevents cables from becoming tangled, so your desk stays neat and clean.

Slim, lightweight, elegant design complements any room.

Quick Response Times for Movies, Games, and More

With a response time of five milliseconds, the HDTV/Monitor Combo presents movies, games, and Internet-streamed content with precision and without the motion judder, blurring, and ghosting that can occur on slower monitors. The result is seamless motion imaging, allowing you to enjoy an immersive viewing experience.

Product and Warranty Information

4.0 out of 5 stars PC HDMI is Great, but you must change a setting!, August 10, 2011

By 

Kevin "Im_Juice_Lee" (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Samsung T22A350 22-Inch Class LED HDTV/Monitor Combo (Black) (Personal Computers)

UPDATE -- PLEASE READ -- : I previously said to name the input "PC DVI" but now I realized it's better to name it "PC". If you name it "PC DVI" then audio can't be passed via HDMI. I apologize for the confusion, and thank you to the commenter who made me aware of this. I've updated the review with this new info.

```````````````````````````````````````````````
Quick note to everyone giving this monitor/tv combo bad ratings due to the PC HDMI quality:
The PC HDMI quality is perfect, but you have to make a quick change to get the optimal settings. If you don't do this, the resolution and size of the screen won't set properly and fonts will be blurry.

Step 1: Plug the HDMI from the PC to HDMI port 1 of the monitor.
Step 2: Press "source" on the remote.
Step 3: Press "tools" on the remote, and change the name of the HDMI Input 1 to "PC"

It would be nice if the monitor could auto-detect and configure itself, but the process takes less than a minute, so it's not a very big deal. Changing the name of the input configures the monitor to the optimal settings of a PC digital connection.

I'm a college student and needed a very specific type of monitor. I needed a monitor to plug my laptop and PS3 into, as well as the cable TV in the dorm. This monitor also had to be fairly small in order to fit into the small dorm, be affordable, and have decent picture quality for movies and games. This product hits all my specifications right on the head and far surpassed my expectations with it's abundance of connections and phenomenal 1080P picture quality.

=========
The Good
=========
This monitor is awesome for the price. You get a great 5 million to 1 contrast ratio with a high quality LED screen. Movies and games look great on this screen. I have my PS3 and laptop hooked up to it and it works flawlessly. Perhaps the biggest selling point of this monitor, however, is the plethora of connections: 2 HDMI, VGA, D-sub, 3.5mm Headphone jack, optical audio out, Audio IN, Component (via included adapter), USB, and RF cable TV input! Unlike my reflective laptop screen, I haven't seen any glare or reflections in my monitor thanks to the bright, vivid LED screen.

Also, the remote on the monitor is fantastic, responsive, and easy to use - it's very similar to the remote that came with my parents' Samsung Bluray player. Very few monitors come with a remote, much less such a good one. You may be thinking that having a remote is pointless (that's what I thought at first), but since this monitor has speakers and a TV tuner, a remote really helps! Let the laziness commence!

=========
The Bad
=========
There's no DVI cable input which is really the only other important connection this monitor lacks. However, this can be compensated with a little DVI to HDMI adapter you can buy for under $10 here on Amazon. The monitor has a 5ms response time which is fine, but for playing games, 2ms would have been nicer.

EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION: Originally I thought the audio couldn't be passed from computer to the monitor via HDMI, but this is because I named the input "PC DVI" instead of "PC". If you name the input "PC" then you can set the sound options on your computer (on Windows, right click the speaker sound icon on the bottom right and select playback devices). Sorry for the confusion.

=========
The... lolwhat?
=========
As with all TN panels, horizontal viewing angles are good, but the screen images distort when you view from different vertical angles. Luckily, Samsung threw in a random "Magic Angle" feature to fix this by putting in two modes that allows the screen to adjust if you're watching from a point above the screen or a point below the screen. It's still not as good a looking directly, head-on, but it definitely helps.

The built in speakers aren't really that great; they aren't bad, but they're far from surround sound speakers. They can get surprisingly loud on max volume. Luckily, there's plenty of ways to output the volume to surround sound, or in my case a little 2.1 $50 sound system. We're lucky that this monitor even has speakers as most monitors don't.

Also, I don't understand what other reviewers are saying about the picture in picture mode. You can use it easily to display TV in a small box in any corner of the screen. You can either be on one TV channel with a small TV show in the corner, or even use the monitor with your PC connected and watch a TV show in the corner. You can chose which corner, which channel, and whether to make the picture in picture small or large.

=============
Bottom Line: This monitor is serving me really well for the purpose I'm using it. 21.5 inches may be too small for a primary living room TV, but it's perfect for a dorm and possibly an office or work desk. For this price, there are really no other companies that offer this many connections and a TV tuner in a computer monitor. I recommend that you examine what you're looking for in a TV / monitor before buying this as it caters to a very small crowd. If you just want a good computer monitor, you can get something cheaper with a better response time. If you're looking for a TV, you probably want something bigger. Or, if you're like me and need something that's reasonably large for movie watching (when alone or with small groups), fits on a desk, and is capable of doubling as a TV and monitor, look no further.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great LED TV/Monitor, 2 for the price of 1!, December 16, 2011

By

This review is from: Samsung T22A350 22-Inch Class LED HDTV/Monitor Combo (Black) (Personal Computers)

This is a great LED TV/Monitor for the price. It has a great picture and sound. I am using it mostly as a monitor, but wanted the PIP option. I don't know what the other reviewer is talking about, but PIP works great and has sound(set the sound to SUB in the PIP menu) and you can choose the size and position of the PIP. I also like the touch buttons on the bottom front of the TV, very convenient. I am using the HDMI/DVI port to connect to my PC, so you do have to make sure you label it as DVI PC so the monitor recognizes it as a PC input and gives you the best picture. If you read the manual, you should have no problems. It has a USB port, so you can plug in a flash drive and view movies or pictures. Watched an AVI movie and worked great!

CONS: These are just minor irritations:

I am using this as a computer monitor and am using the HDMI/DVI port for my PC. When my computer goes into standby, the LED monitor doesn't have a standby mode for the HDMI/DVI port, so it stays on even though the computer is in standby. If you use the VGA port for your computer though, the monitor will go into standby when your computer does. Frankly, I see no difference in picture quality between the HDMI and the VGA for my PC, so I might just use the VGA port.

The other thing is I wish it had a touch button for PIP on the front of the monitor so I can quickly turn on PIP without going through the menu.

All in all, this is a great TV/Monitor for the price, granted I have only owned it now for a few weeks, but Samsung makes pretty good products, so I am hopeful it will last.

This was the second attempt at a Samsung 22 inch HDTV. The first one didn't have VGA so it went back. Thank you Amazon for the free return. I plugged this one in to the cable box - it came right on. I plugged the VGA cable in and changed the source to PC. Bingo - plug & play was perfect. We did have to adjust the picture and the sound, but it looks and sounds fine. Great TV and monitor for the price. Haven't played with picture in picture yet - I don't know why I would need it.
