Anyone have real world experience with it?
I own and use the T260HD as my main monitor. As with any LCD, I
enjoy not having to make certain picture adjustments.
THE SAMSUNG T260HD MONITOR/TV VIEWING ANGLE SUCKS.
The weird thing about the Samsung T260HD monitor/TV is the viewing
angle. If your eyeballs are centered and about 2 feet away, the
top of the monitor is darker than the bottom. As they say in the
documentation, the optimum viewing angle is with your eyeballs
level with the top of the monitor. Why on earth they did that is a
mystery to me. You actually lose some value since you must be
farther away from the bottom of the monitor, in order to see the
entire surface without the distortion that makes the colors at the
top darker than the colors at the bottom.
The TV function works but is awkward and ugly. For example, when
the volume is muted, you see a bad looking square box overlay that
never goes away. It is the kind of TV that might be usable (if
like me) you care little about TV. Contrary to what Samsung says,
there is no USB port on the HD monitor/TV model, therefore there
will never be an update to the poorly written TV software.
Except for the viewing angle weirdness, it looks good.
