Competent and Stylish
I bought this monitor as a replacement for an 18" 4:3 aspect DELL monitor that had finally given up the ghost after 3+ years. I was drawn to this unit as it seemed to offer an opportunity to combine a LCD TV with a PC monitor and also because it had HD inputs (Composite and a single HDMI) for my games consoles.

The unit is incredibly stylish - great simple clean lines with a quality piano-black gloss finish which looks super. The stand is small and unobtrusive and offers a tilt mechanism so you can adjust the angle the monitor is at. The back ports are well organised and well labelled and there is also a set of AV inputs on the side of the unit. The nice blue 'glow' around the power button is classic Samsung and looks nice. Another factor behind my choice of this unit was the built in speakers. These are competent enough for general use but if you're a dedicated gamer or intending to use this as your daily TV, you might want to look at alternative sound sources. For me and what I want, it's fine right now.

As a monitor and using the DVI-D input, the picture is stunningly clear, sharp and crisp with good colour reproduction. It is quite bright but alternative 'picture modes' may lessen the initial feelings of harsh brightness on mainly white backgrounds (we use "internet" mode which seems to tone the white down nicely). My pictures look great on it. It's taking me a while to adjust to being in 'widescreen' mode on my PC though - some of my pictures do look a little stretched now.

As a TV, it seems reasonably competent too. I confess that this is my first LCD TV and I'm only running it of an anlogue source (no built in Freeview if that's important to you!) but the picture seems reasonable for an LCD screen. It's quite simple to set up but the instructions (both printed and on the enclosed CD) are evidently translated into English with some great quotes in there! It is capable of displaying HD transmissions with a suitable source and offers AV, SCART, Composite and HDMI inputs for those.

I haven't had oppportunity yet to try it with the games console so can't really comment on that.

Price wise, Amazon seemed pretty well placed on this. Argos were doing this at £199 for a while but PC World were £250 at one point.

One small quibbles - there was no DVI cable in my box. It came with a D-SUB cable and a cable for hooking it up to the audio out on the PC as well as a UK and European power cable. I had a DVI cable anyway so no major complaints but others may be frustrated by this.

Overall, I highly rate this hybrid monitor/TV and would recommend it to others looking for a replacement monitor - it's great to get the extra functionality and may help reduce clutter is some rooms. It's very stylish and would, I'm sure, look great in most situations. The monitor elements are faultless and the TV functionality is, for me, an added extra. I'm looking forward to testing it with the PS3 and 360 for a truly HD gaming experience.

Good product.

Great specs and picture, But not hat great as a tv.
This samsung has great specs and all the 1080p goodness that you need.
When played to its potential its crisp and has a great display. It's stylish and has good speaker sound so there is no need for extra speakers unless you want really decent sound.

The reason for the 3 stars was simple.

The viewing angle, its truly terrible and when advertised to customers as a tv they need to state that it utilises PC monitor backfitting technology!!

My bed is litrally 5cm below this tv in my room and it becomes sort of polarised nearly to the middle. You have to look dead on to find the real picture brighness. This is very annoying for games, say when you are in a dark room.
Another quibble is that the tv input reciever is pretty poor. It could be better quality.

Great monitor, poor telly.
Bought this as a bedroom TV and it's barely even good enough for that. As a monitor connected to my laptop, the full 1440x900 res is sharp and clear. DivX movies played back look superb. However, the sound quality is really poor - much worse than my laptop speakers! And bizarrely, the image quality from the TV tuner is really quite terrible. For what it's worth the Sky+ remote control code for this TV is 0646... took me a while to find that out!
