I absolutely love this monitor! I use it 90% as a computer monitor and 10% for videos. I wanted a monitor that would match my modern furniture and not look like a "corporate cubical" screen. Here's my review:

1) Aesthetically this monitor looks wonderful. It has a clear bezel around the edges of the screen. The "TOC" Taste of Color is the red/rose color highlight at the bottom edge. Very tastefully done! The front has no exposed buttons and looks sleek and sexy. The T260HD is one of the best looking monitors out there. I've owned 11 LCD monitors and have always placed appearance high on my list. The back is gloss black and looks classy. No shame showing off the backside of this monitor. The industrial design called for soft round and curve lines to break up the typical square and blocky shape. My only gripe is no height adjustment. It does swivel left and right. The stand is plenty stable despite seeing a guy on youtube rock the monitor sideways with his hands. No one will be rocking my T260HD like that!

2)I mainly use this as a computer monitor. This monitor is 1900x1200 @ 16:10 ration, not the lower 1900x1080 @16:9ratio. The 16:10 ratio gives you more vertical screen size for less scrolling of the mouse. The 1900x1200 resolution is almost mandatory for anything over 24" in size. The text is simply sharper. I returned the Samsung P2770HD 27" monitor because the 1900x1080 did not cut it. The text was not sharp enough for my 20/10 vision eyes.(better than 20/20). My mad man Excel spreadsheets are beautiful in all it's glory displaying 10 font size covering 13.7" x 21.75". Window 7 Snap feature allows me to have 2 documents up, each measuring 13.7"H x 10.8"W. That's bigger than 8"x11"!

3)This monitor comes with ready for cable TV hookup or any HDMI source. It is magnificient with 720P and better sources. The 16:10 leaves a bar a the top and bottom. Doesn't bother me much. I'll take 16:10 anyday over 16:9. I previous used two 19" 4:3 monitor in landscape mode that gave me more screen than a 28" monitor. 1080P material like Blue Ray looks excellent. However, you will need to spend about 20 minutes to dial in the color settings. Some reviewers complainted about the greenish tint, well you can adjust that out!

Overall, I very impressed with the Samsung T260HD. I bought it here on Amazon for $299, no tax, and free shipping! That's right, price was lower than Newegg! I was hitting the refresh button and seeing the quantities go down from 10 to zero; then bam back to $329. This monitor was $499 to $599 when it first came out. This is the best looking monitor/TV out right now. Only HP has something similar. Pictures on the web does not do this monitor justice. If you can check it out at your local electronic store.
