Customer Reviews

Exactly what I wanted.
In my review I would like to clear up some confusion from other reviews.

I spent a long time looking at this item and reading all the reviews, from different websites too, so I will list some things I saw and what I discovered.

Please note, in all of the following I have not used this screen as a TV.

I bought it for the purpose of a big computer monitor and a screen for my PS3, so other peoples opinions may be different when using it as a TV.

First off, I saw one review (on another website i think) that said this model didn't have speakers. Well it has.

Alot of people have meantioned the sound quality, when I loaded a PS3 Game (COD5 if it matters) I didn't notice it at first, until I started a game and it did sound quite a bit 'tinny' however, I played for about an hour and I completely forgot about the 'bad' sound quality, so yes, its very tinny and there's no bass to it, but it is clear and it didn't annoy me, so I'm happy with that.

2. 1080p. When running the PS3 through the HDMI, this screen DOES run in 1080p mode, so the people who say 'that can't happen' well it does. My other TV runs at 1080i and will not display anything if the PS3 tries to run at 1080p. So I can confirm that this unit runs at 1080p, the picture quality is very, very good. I'm used to playing on a 37" TV, and I got used to this 22" screen very quick, and I have problems seeing detail on other peoples TV's sometimes.

When running as a computer monitor it runs at the maximum resolution advertised, the picture is very, very crisp and clear, and I couldn't be happier with the way it looks. the screen is big enough to run 2 applications side by side, which is what I need it for when running as a pc.

As other people have meantioned the brightness is excellent! As a monitor it was maybe a little too bright, which can be fixed with the settings very easily, I'm very happy with the brightness of the screen.

And lastly, the 'wobbly stand' :

When I unpacked this I set it up on my computer desk, I decided to give the desk a nudge to see what happened, and yes it does shake a little bit like a jibba jabba, however my desk is fairly sturdy and it didn't wobby when typing. It will be used on a solid office desk which doesn't move at all, so this won't be a problem what-so-ever for me. I can understand people having problems when using this on a cheap make it yourself computer desk.

I think thats everything I wanted to meantion. The issue about it being 5ms and not 2ms as advertised I do not know, and I don't know how to find out, so I can't help there.

For £200 you can't ask for much more
I read through many reviews before purchasing this monitor but now i have received it i definitely made the right choice. I kept reading about the sound being poor and the stand being wobbly but for under £200 these features were never going to be top end and besides the picture quality is fantastic!!!!

The input alternatives are great and the DTV is sharp and crisp. Works well with vista following a few tweaks.

If you are worried about the sound then use the money saved buying this TV to invest in a pair of speakers but really its not THAT bad!

I'd also say doin't worry about the stand. Mine sits on a dedicated shelf and because i have a wireless keyboard it does no wobble when i type. Unless there is an earthquake or i'm are cleaning it then it won't move at all!

The free delivery from Amazon only took 2 days. Ordered Monday lunch. Arrived Thursday Morning so can't complain on that either.

Overall very happy.

A GREAT TV
I had a UMC 19" TV/DVD in the dining room, but was not satisfied with the sound quality or fiddly remote control. So gave it to my grand-daughter and upgraded to the Samsung 220HD TV. The picture quality is fantastic and the sound excellent. Samsung are really generous with the various connectors, British plug, Continental plug, D-sub cable for computer and a Euro connector. Even a cloth to polish the surround.The contrast ratio of 10,000:1 blows away the UMC 700:1 There is a quick start guide and also full instructions on a CD (in many languages).
It is easy to set up and tune in the analogue and digital Freeview channels. I can thoroughly recommend this TV. Samsung T220HD 22-inch Widescreen LCD TFT Monitor, 2ms, Rose Black, 10000:1, TV Tuner
