Samsung Touch Of Color T200HD 20-inch LCD HDTV Monitor Reviews
This gets alittle old after a while and if all are like mine then I cannot recommend it. The problem is the brightness,color and tint must be adjusted each time the unit is turned off and back on. Good picture and in all fairness tv does not have an hd source. All other settings remain as set.
My old monitor was a 17' flat screen, and with the two of them sitting next to each other, the difference is very noticeable. When you have this TV muted, there is a small box that does not disappear with the word "Muted" in the corner. I wouldn't mind having a 22' or 24', but it was not worth the price for the extra size. It is excellent on both counts.
As a widescreen TV, you get black bars on the sides and/or the top, and it seems the picture quality is not as good as my older TV. I only plan on watching HD channels with this TV for the most part, but this is annoying when I want to watch a non-HD channel. The things I do not like about this TV are minor. This is my first HDTV at home, and I couldn't be more impressed with the difference it makes. There are audio outputs and other ways to easily hook up speakers if you want better sound, and I would assume people that want to complain about sound quality would have speakers anyways. Also, as I have my TV hooked up to my cable box through HDMI, I wish that while cycling through sources the OTA/Cable source was not there. I have a couch about 6-8 feet away, and the picture is plenty big.
I do want to note that the SD channels are not very good. When I purchased this TV, it was around $280, while the next size up (22') was around $390. Lastly, I wish that there was a PIP option for watching TV while using the monitor, as there are for higher end Samsungs, but it is not that big of a deal for me as I use dual monitors. Viewing text and pictures are both very clear, and I notice no lag or delays with the image. I use this as a primary monitor in a dual monitor setup and as an HDTV through a HD Cable Box. As an HDTV, the picture quality is also amazing. Two inches is not worth $110 to me (140%), and I am glad I stuck to this size. It arrived after about 3 days using Saver Shipping, and there are no dead pixels that I can see.
If you dont plan on muting this TV, obviously this is not important. I do not use the tuner inside this TV, so I cannot review its quality. I have owned this TV for over a week and couldn't be more pleased. I find the sound to be satisfactory. As a monitor using the DVI hookup, this monitor has amazing graphics with my ATI 4850 gfx card. I watched a few sports games, a few regular HD channels, and some HD movie channels, and was pleased with them all.
It's just a small annoyance, and I would think a lot of people would be doing this similarly. This TV is not designed for large rooms, and I personally do not need the sound any louder than it is for my bedroom. Setup was very easy, and after using plug-and-play for a while, I installed the drivers for the monitor. Both worked very well. The screen size is just right for me. Overall I would definitely recommend this to anyone that wants to have a Monitor/HDTV in their office/bedroom.
But the high-def OTA signals are amazing. It stretches things out just a tiny bit, but it works, and it's absolutely gorgeous. When I could not find one I decided to go ahead and buy this one. Well, when I thought about buying this particular monitor I looked around for a better bargain. And Let me tell you for $279, it's been the best tv/monitor I've ever owned. My only real complaints are that the sound through the headphone jack isn't all that great, and the fact that I'll have to buy a Surround sound system, to compensate for the poor speakers on the system.
SDTV signals aren't great though. Oh, well. For OTA signals it's alright, I need a more powerful antenna to pick up all the channels. Woot. 5 Stars Anyway. Gaming is fantastic on this beauty.
I read on another review that you have.6 inches of blackness while watching tv, or playing games. Not for me, I just put it on "Just Scan" video mode, and while gaming it fills the whole screen.
We wanted an HDTV primarily, with the ability for connectivity to other items such as a video camera and computer laptop. By the way, this unit comes with a 3-year warranty and not the standard 1-year that most HD TV's have. HD stations are awesome and standard definition are completely acceptable. I will be purchasing another larger HD TV soon for another room and I will definitely be buying another Samsung. It too the T200HD about 4 minutes to completely tune itself to all cable stations.
The speakers are located on the back of the unit and the sound is also very acceptable for use in our mid-large sized kitchen. For a great HDTV and monitor all built in one unit, I would highly recommend this Samsung. The out-of-box setup was easy. The menu interface for TV setup was also easy to use. Have used the Samsung T200HD for one week now in our kitchen.
If I were using the unit in a large living room, I might consider some external speakers although the sound may still be suitable for many people.
Well, it turns out the specs listed in amazon are completely wrong. I called their support and sure, they were willing to let me refund it but I don't really have the time to wait for a new monitor to arrive. I bought this product specifically to use as a PC monitor and thought I was getting a good deal. $300 for a 1920x1200 resolution. It's no even consistent if you read the whole thing. This monitor is only 1680x1050. So beware. I'm sure the monitor is still a good product but amazon sucked on that one.
