 Almost 1 year later, and I still love it! May 10, 2010
E. Bravo (NY, NY)
I live in NYC, where space is always a luxury. I bought this monitor because it can multi-task as a monitor AND TV. I LOVE MY MONITOR/TV. It doesn't take a lot of space, and the picture quality is wonderful. That said, here are a few issues:
As a TV:
Lighting > this monitor, when used as a TV needs to be adjusted accordingly when watching non-HD channels. I understand that almost all channels are currently HD, but some aren't. And this is where you'll need to adjust the settings. I also need to adjust the settings when using my Wii as the images come across way too bright if I don't.
There is also the fact that you cannot adjust this monitor- so either you place it at the correct angle, or you can buy the wall mount to be able to adjust.

I gave this to my parents, and really want one for myself now. They have cable but I connected one my HDTV indoor antennas and BAM, we were watching all the digital HD channels provided in the area over the air waves for FREE. Toss out cable and get TV for free. Quit funding the cable or satellite services at $100 a month/$1200/yr.. Maybe you would visit your neighbors more often with airwave channels. Well, maybe not.
Tv looks sharp, has plenty of hook ups for ins/outs, state of the art tuner capabilities, very simple yet functional remote, and a super sharp picture. Connect a computer or laptop. Would be great for a kitchen or bed room set. This set will give full HDTV 1080p. There is a bonus channel on the air waves that you don't get on any cable service, THIS channel. All they play is the entire MGM catalog of movies 24/7. These are movies that you will never see on AMC or TCM anymore. AMC is too contemporary now for old stuff. TCM might have some.
I paid about three hundred for this and is a great deal.*****
Sin problemas!!! March 31, 2010

I initially purchased this as a TV/second monitor hoping that it would be reasonably good with color for editing photos. As it turns out, it's even better than my NEC 19" that was the top rated consumer monitor for editing photos on a couple of years ago. The color fidelity and contract are great. Its really crisp at full resolution and photos from my Canon 5d II really look fantastic on it. I won't swear that it has quite as good of color gamut as the NEC but it's at least close. Video and pictures look great on it at all resolutions and it runs pretty cool compared to the NEC which is less than 3 years old. It has plenty of ports and gets decent TV reception too though I rarely use it for that.
There are a couple of down sides. Its speakers are pretty lousy, even for a monitor. The headphone port is in a covered, recessed side panel and quite difficult to use if the plug on your headphones is small, you practically need pliers! Thought the viewing angle is generally pretty good, it does actually take on a yellow tone when you move too far from side to side; the vertical angel is pretty decent. All in all for the price, it's pretty hard to beat this one for photos and general video; especially if you have good speakers already.
Excellent buy March 19, 2010

I have given this monitor/tv a good test over the past two weeks and I am very satisfied with the performance of the unit.
Contrast, color , clarity, detail, adjustability and design are very good indeed.
As mentioned in other reviews, there is a limited viewing angle for the display, but it is an artifact of the type of lcd's used, and that is a result of COST ISSUES. I think the criticisms, quite honestly, are a bit alarmist and exaggerated. Having said that it is not ideal as a general large room tv, but I think that can be gleaned from the information available
As a monitor/tv to be used, in general, from one limited seating area, I see no real problems at all. Text is sharp and clear, imho, so the individual comments to the contrary found elsewhere are a mystery to me.
Lag in gaming is no issue either, so far.
All in all, I am well-satisfied with my purchase. It has no dead pixels (the first one shipped had a bright thin line from top to bottom, but Amazon shipped a replacement before I shipped it back to them).
Anyone looking for a versatile monitor that is a very good value should strongly consider the Samsung T240HD.
Pro
1- Excellent picture quality as monitor and tv. Usable for HD gaming with no issues
2- 16:9 with option for 1:1 pixel mapping - no distortion of input
3- Three year warranty
4- 2 HDMI ports and plenty of other connection options
4- Nice overall design
Con
1- Weird remote layout
2- I wish that cabinet was matte rather than shiny - it is a dust magnet
3- Second HDML port is on side of display - looks a little sloppy
