 Great except for one major problem. Dec 11, 2008
The major problem is a buzzing sound when I turn down the brightness. This is totally unacceptable when using this as a monitor, since being so close to the screen, the buzzing is clearly heard and very annoying. In monitor mode (PC and DVI modes), the buzzing starts when the brightness is set below 90.
In TV and HDMI modes, the buzzing starts when the backlight is set below 9 (10 is the maximum). There is another control called "brightness", which does not affect the buzzing, so setting backlight to 9 and "brightness" low, is a way to get around the problem. I am not sure why there are 2 ways to control the brightness, and what is the difference between them.
Customer support were not very helpful. They suggested I send them the TV, and they will fix it or send me another one. I decided to return the TV to the store, and get a brand new one instead. Unfortunately the new one has exactly the same problem as the first one, so unless I get used to this buzzing, it will also be returned.
This is my first LCD TV, so I don't know if this is a common problem. I have another LCD monitor (which is about 5 years old) and 2 laptops, and none of them have this problem.
If it wasn't for this buzzing, I would give it 4 stars. I especially like the size and the resolution when used as a monitor. The only other minor problems are:
- sound is mediocre
- I really don't like the glossy bezel. It does look beautiful, but I hate the glare. It also shows fingerprints, dust, and scratches easily.

 I LOVE THIS 24 inch LCD MONITOR w/HDTV TUNER Dec 06, 2008
Downloading Netflix movies and watching them instantly on this 24" Samsung SyncMaster T240HD Computer Monitor/with HDTV TUNER has been a real joy!
I couldn't wait to try it out with the TERK amplified HDTV antenna. Today I hooked up the antenna inside my apartment to this computer monitor/HDTV. WOW! I'm blown away! I live about 10 miles north of Boston, inside a brick building and surounded by many homes and trees -- and I am getting (about 10 channels) simply dazzling high definition TV channels.
I dropped cable TV months ago because of all the commercials. That saved me $70 per month ($840 yr). Who needed cable TV? I'm a "movie freak", not a commercial freak. The commercials simply steal your time. It's criminal to have to pay (cable) and be forced fed commercials also. Sitting 3 feet away from a good 1080p full HTDV monitor like this Samsung monitor is like being in the 3rd row of a movie theatre. For $14 a month, NETFLIX lets me watch commercial free movies downloaded to my computer to watch nearly instantly. And they just upped their selection by teaming with STARZ. Now with this new 24 inch HDTV/computer monitor - I've made my computer my entire home entertainment system. Hello free HDTV. Good bye cable... This works great for a single computer geek like me. Tired of computing? No problem, download a movie, watch your own DVD movie, or switch the remote to the computer monitor to TV, and watch free HDTV coming over the air.
Thanks SAMSUNG & TERK ($38 indoor HDTV antenna)! You made this free HDTV possible.Terk HDTVa Indoor Amplified High-Definition Antenna for Off-Air HDTV ReceptionSamsung Touch Of Color T240HD 24-Inch LCD HDTV Monitor

Great Value Nov 10, 2008
I am very pleased with this TV. Mostly because there are virtually no 24" LCD TV's out there. Also, most TV's this size come with 720 dp....this one has the 1080 like the big sets. Very pleased with picture and sound....and value.

Love This TV and Monitor Oct 25, 2008
OK first let me say I purcahsed this to connect to my Dish/Panisonic DMR. and to use as a monitor for a 2nd computer.
It works perfect. It did not come with the HDMI cable so I had to dish out another $40 to connect the DMR to the TV but the quality is greate.
As a monitor I run 1920x1200 and its as crisp as my other 24" Samsung monitors I use on my main computer system.
I have used the VGA on the TV to connect a lap top and it looked good as well.
Cons:
- The Front Power switch just does not work. I have other Samsung monitors with this kind of power switch and they work very well. On this TV it does not. You have to use the remote control to turn the TV on and OFF. This to me is a manufacturing defect.
- Speakers are loud enough for a quiet room but sound tinny. There is no external speaker output asided from the side earplug but this can be used to connect a set of external speakers.
- The only way to get the advertised Doulby digital is to use the fiberoptic output connector. This means you have to have a very expensive speaker/amp system.
- No Picture in a picture
- No Svid or NTSC inputs.
- The standard stereo input is share by both the PC and DCI vid input.
- No rear mount screws for alternative mounting options
Pros
- Each input has its own video adjustments.
- Great picture on both TV and monitor modes
- Many zoom/picture modes at the touch of a button on the remote
- One of the brightest monitors I have ever used.
- Stand tilts and swivles
- 2 HDMI inputs as well as Componet, DVI and VGA inputs
- Very good veiwing angles and good contrast ratio
- Sleep Timer
I have not had the chance to use the Tuner in the TV as I am in the basement and use it with my Dish/DMR.

pretty neato Oct 18, 2008
using it as a tv for my ps3 at the moment. works fine, and is rather large for the price, but not huge by any means. later, if i get a better pc i will probably use it as a monitor too. it is easy enough to work, and when you turn it off and on it makes this wonderful beeping sound. the power switch is on the tv itself, but it is one of those buttonless ones (like the ps3), and i have had some trouble switching it off this way, so i wouldn't lose the remote if i were you.
