Product Description
A monitor that mirrors art? Samsung designed the T240 with gracefully sculpted edges and a bezel with a soft hint of rich red. It also delivers impressive features like a 20,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for sharper images and 2 ms response time which eliminates blurring. The Samsung T240 is more than just a monitor, its high-style combined with impressive technology.

Decent, but not perfect August 15, 2008

Good monitor with a couple of issues. Colors are very bright and graphics are clear and distinct. I was lucky and don't have any dead or stuck pixels. Love the 1920x1200 resolution. I wouldn't go with anything less because then you lose too much screen height in my opinion.
The case looks good. I can only see the red in very bright light, it looks black in normal use lighting. The plastic on the back of the case seems to be very thin, and feels kind of cheap. Probably to save on weight, and the monitor is very light for it's size. The stand and front of the case feel strong and sturdy enough though.
It swivels on the stand easily, but it takes a bit of work to change the viewing angle. I always feel like I am going to break it when trying to change the angle. The monitor does not have a height adjustment, and coming from a monitor that did I really miss this function.
The screen is recessed about a 1/4" in the case. The problem here is that since the screen is recessed and the surrounding plastic is highly reflective, icons located at the edge of the screen are reflected on the plastic. This isn't a big deal, but it can be a little distracting at times.
There is a fair amount of light bleed. On a black screen there is brightness around the edges of the screen. Again, not horrible, every LCD has some, but I expected a bit less for the price.
My biggest complaint is the viewing angle. The lower part of the screen is lighter than the top. Unless I lower my chair quite a bit or sit farther back (not an option if I need to type), I can't seem to get the monitor positioned so this is not an issue. I did not have this issue on my old Dell 20" LCD or my iMac.
For gaming I haven't had any issues. Looks good, but you do notice the light bleed at times. Haven't watched any movies on it, but I would think it would be the same as with games, you will notice a bit of light bleed.
I would not recommend this monitor for serious photo editing. For that I want a monitor that I can get a perfect viewing angle where the the colors and contrast will be uniform throughout. No matter what I have done, I can not get this from this monitor without having to sit at awkward positions. I will stick to my iMac for photo editing.
For everyday use and gaming I highly recommend the monitor. But if I was going to buy an LCD for photo editing, I would go with the high end Dell.
Edit: I decided to return the monitor. While I am very impressed with the brightness/color/sharpness, I became more and more annoyed with the consistency as I used it. It is a great gaming monitor, but the fluctuation in color on the edges of the screen when using it for web surfing or looking at pictures just annoyed me too much.
After some research I found out this kind of monitor is known as a twisted nematic (TN) LCD and it's major drawback is a narrow viewing angle. Unfortunately most manufactures don't list the type of LCD being used but if you search the internet, you can usually find out if it uses this lower quality type.
