Features

Reduces Glare
While the crystal-like bezel frame catches light beautifully, it doesn’t glare harshly. In fact, it actually reduces refelection of light off the bezel. ToC monitors are easier on your eyes, in more ways than one.

Better and Safer
Since the rich red color is injection molded for a blown glass effect, instead of spray painted, there’s less environmental impact.

Lower Power Consumption

ToC monitors (T240, T260) are designed to be extremely efficient, and use up to a third less power than other monitors in their class. And the unique SoftPower off function lets you put it in standy mode right away, using just 0.3W.

Integrated USB Hub and HDMI Connection
The ToC will become the center of your life. An integrated USB hub and HDMI connection let you connect all your digital devices, including HD gaming consoles (T240, T260).

20,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio

The ToC monitors continually analyze the input signal and adjust the contrast to match. The ultra-wide range gives you blacks and whites that are full of detail, even under adverse lighting conditions.

Ultra-fast Response Time

2ms GTG response (T190, T220) and 5ms response (T240, T260) ensure blur-free videos and gaming.

Exclusive MagicColor Technology
Samsung’s MagicColor technology gives you richer, more natural color by enhancing the color overall (Full mode) or by enhancing color without affecting delicate skin tones (Intelligent mode).

Exclusive MagicBright 3 Technology
You can make the stunning picture even better. Samsung’s MagicBright 3 technology gives you seven presets, so you can tailor your screen setting to the type of media you’re viewing. Presets include Text, Internet, Game, Sport, Movie, Print View and Custom.

Windows Vista Premium Certification
ToC monitors are designed to take full advantage of everything Windows Vista OS has to offer.

Customizable Hot Key
Want to open a favorite application with one button? Or connect to the internet? Or adjust picture modes? A customizable hot key puts your favorite preference or command at the tip of your finger.

Multi Screen Need some organization in your life?
Multi Screen can help. You can assign applications and open windows to different quadrants of the screen, and reduce desktop clutter. You can even specify that a certain application always open in a specific quadrant, so you’ll always know right where it is.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty, but not good for graphic designers...
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2009
Yes, this is a very nice LARGE monitor, the image is sharp, the video is smooth. BUT if you are a graphics professional, this monitor is a poor choice. Out of the box the color shift is horrible. Calibrating with the standard Mac OSX calibrator did very little to help--the shadows behind all of the windows glowed a dull pea-green. I had to turn off the shadows with a 3rd party hack... Finally, using a professional calibrator (spyder 2)that you stick on the monitor I was able to pull it in to tolerable range. That said, there is really no way to tell what color is "reality" as vertical color shift is HUGE. Most LCD monitors shift a bit if you view from a distance, or stand up vs sit down. This one will give you a 10 degree shift if you sit up in your chair vs slouch! Is it red? Is it brown? Who knows? It is going back today...

3.0 out of 5 stars Samsung TOC T260 Beware of viewing angle.
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2010
Verified Purchase
The only major concern I have with this monitor (and it is a big one) after two months of use is the poor viewing angle. If for example, you have a full field of view photo and you move your eye level up or down several inches there will be a striking degredation of image quality. This is because you are paying for a low cost TN pannel. You can partially compensate by incrasing the viewing distance. The large size of the pannel means that your viewing angle will vary considerably from the center to edge of the image. If I had the opportunity to return this item I would now do so and spend more money on a higher quality pannel with better viewing angle. If I did't have a large screen Imac in the same room, the stark difference of image quality might not bother me as much. If you are budget limited and need a monitor of this size then this monitor is probably a good option but just be aware of this limitation.

I purchased this monitor basically because it fit perfectly in a cabinet I already had in my bedroom. It fit a 24" wide opening perfectly. I connected the HDMI cable from my cable box and external speakers from the monitor. Clear picture. Kind of disappointed that I needed external speakers. For the price, Samsung should have included internal speakers since it already had the HDMI interface. I am sure this is not a problem if you are using the monitor connected to a PC.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Monitor (But the stand is flimsey)
Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2009
Verified Purchase
I upgraded from a very old, but nice 21" CRT monitor and bought a new XFX PVT86JYAHG GeForce 8500 GT PCI Express x16 graphic card to go with it from another vendor for $45.99. I'm using a DVI cable and not a D-Sub cable. I read somewhere that a D-Sub cable will degrade the quality.

I was afraid that I was going to wind up sacrificing some sharpness and clarity in switching from my 21" CRT to this monitor, but was in for a very pleasant surprise. This monitor actually provides a lot more sharpness and clarity than my CRT did.

This monitor also provides a lot more real estate on the display. With this monitor, I can display two amazon windows side by side (barely) and this current window will display vertically down to and including the "$449.99" figure under the caption, "What Do Customers Ultimately Buy After Viewing This Item?". My 21" CRT (at 1280x1024) would only display about 1 1/3 windows side by side and the vertical display on the T260 is probably about 22% bigger. I measured the T260 screen as being 13 1/2 x 21 3/4 inches.

Everything about this monitor seems to say quality and it's very nice to look at. I haven't noticed any dead pixels, by the way. The on/off switch is very convenient and is magically embedded in the plastic case and doesn't require any mechanical pressure. It just senses the presence of your finger somehow. I don't think you'll ever have to worry about it wearing out like you would with a mechanical switch.

The monitor swivels left and right and tilts also. The stand strikes me as being sort of flimsy and tilting the monitor makes me nervous, but it works. The height doesn't adjust (of course), but it turns out to be just exactly right for me. My guess is that if the average person adjusts his chair so that the keyboard angle is correct, the monitor height will be correct also.

Because of the flimsy stand the monitor will wiggle with the slightest movement of your table or desk. I have a fairly sturdy table I think and even moving the mouse will cause the monitor to wiggle if you manhandle the mouse to much. The wiggling situation kinda of reminds me of one of those hula girls you used to see on the dash board of some automobiles. In my case the monitor has its own separate table, so I don't get much wiggling and it doesn't bother me.
