Introduction
The SAMSUNG T240HD HDTV monitor looks more like artwork than a high-performance video display. It features revolutionary Touch of Color, a built-in full HD 1080p digital HDTV tuner, so you can watch both TV and HDTV, and 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for sharp images. Beautifully designed, the T240HD is unlike any monitor you’ve ever seen.
Packed to the gills with features and connections, this newest monitor from Samsung doubles as a full-fledged HDTV, featuring on-board analog (SD), digital (DTV) and unencrypted cable tuners, as well as built-in audio, with a fully functional remote control to round out the package. Connectivity options are extremely good, with two HDMI inputs—one on the rear panel’s jack pack, with the second tucked behind a flip-out door on the monitor’s left side—just the ticket for quick and easy hookup of an HD game console or other HDMI-equipped source. A DVI input brings the digi-tal input count up to three, and the set also sports a conventional component video input, as well as a VGA input for a computer. The Samsung’s right-hand side panel features six buttons that allow complete control of the set should the regular remote turn up missing.
The cabinetry is sufficiently stylish, with gently rounded accents, shiny black plastic bezel and base, touched off with a clear plastic front panel edge treatment that adds some dimensionality to the display. The contoured base quickly connects to the display, and provides about 21 degrees of rear tilt from vertical, which should be enough for most users.
