Manufacturer's Description
Inspired by the craftsmanship of Venetian glassblowers, the T260 is the embodiment of Samsung's design philosophy - natural beauty that defies standardisation. Unlike other monitors on the market today, Samsung are just as concerned about how a monitor performs as well as it looks. The unique crystal-like frame is both transparent and opaque, giving the monitor a handcrafted feel. The smooth clean lines and variety of colors will make this monitor the centerpiece of any room in your home - no matter how sophisticated it may be. The T260 from Samsung redefines the meaning of slim. This elegantly designed, ultra-thin monitor comes fully equipped with the latest in LCD technology - all packaged within a sleek, sophisticated frame. The reduced bezel width produces a slimmer profile so that every inch of your workspace is maximised.

Customer Reviews

Great all round big screen monitor, but it does have its flaws.
I'm not going to talk too much about the picture quality here as it's been said many times before. However I will say that's I find the whites a little odd. Everything seems to have a peculiar tint to it. It's probably just me not setting the monitor up properly, but after a lot of playing around with the various settings I haven't been able to get anything which looks right. This made me think perhaps I should go back to my 20" NEC. But a couple of weeks using a 26" monitor and I don't think I could ever go back now.
The design of the monitor is simply stunning. Making all other monitors look very out of date by comparison and of course the price is very competitive for this size of monitor. Bit of a finger print magnet perhaps, but that's easily resolved - don't touch it!

However it's not all good, as there are a annoying amount of 'niggles'. The controls for example are nicely hidden away out of view, but this makes them a little awkward to use. It's a little slow at realising that you've turned the computer off and putting the monitor into standby. Insisting on checking each socket several times for a signal first. The stand is a swivel and tilt type only, no height adjustment. Most annoying of all are the USB ports. There are only two, and both are really badly placed right at the back of the screen. I'd gotten used to having a couple of ports on the side of the screen. Looks like I'll have to invest in a external hub.

I've read some reviews complaining that there's no speakers, tuner or remote control!? This doesn't make sense to me. Why criticize a monitor for not being a TV? Features like these have to be paid for and while they look good on the advertising blurb, are only actually used by a very small number of users.

Ultimately I am very happy with my new monitor. It's not perfect and there are better 26" screens out there. But they cost far more. With this in mind if I had to buy another monitor right now, it would be with this one.

Great Screen - but don't bother with the HDMI lead
I had a Samsung 26" TV with resolution of 1250 x 750, which I used only as a PC monitor and decided to change to a higher resolution monitor. I bought the HDMI lead which others have bought with this screen but I wouldn't bother if you are only connecting a PC to it, as it comes with a DVI to DVI lead which is perfect. I'm glad I upgraded the screen as it is crystal clear and has made a big difference in games, (I have a Nvidia 8800 GTS 512) now running at 1900 x 1200. Great screen, great price.

Superb Monitor
I would recommend this monitor to anyone. It is simply a quality item. Easy to use and set up. Superb graphics for both PC games and films. Recommended purchase.
