Please be aware that these monitors (at lease those in the shops as of posting) ghost very badly when connected to xbox360 at 1080p via HDMI. I have had problems with other sources as well but have only performed the full testing with the xbox360.
For an example goto the xbox desktop (new desktop)and look below the my xbox menu line. you will see white ghosting. During a game this ghosting reduces the resolution and makes the picture very unrealistic and shakey.
My view is that these monitors are not ‘fit for purpose’ currently. This may change with a firmware upgrade but as of writing Samsung have not confirmed this.
I have found this to be a fault on the t260, t260hd, t240 and t240hd.
Great picture if connected via dvi but poor if connected via hdmi at 1080p – would be nice to see samsung correct this soon as the monitor side through dvi is well worth the money.
