Samsung Touch Of Color T220 22-inch LCD Monitor
Marketing description is not available.
There aren?t other monitors like these anywhere. Of course.  | Imagine being inspired by something old to create something completely new. When sand was fused with soda for the first time around 2500 B.C., a new material was created: glass. And now Samsung designers have fused a clear-as-glass plastic with an opaque, rose-black plastic, to create something completely new in the monitor industry: the Samsung Touch of Color Series widescreen LCD monitors. Luxurious glass-like frames with gracefully sculpted edges join with rose-black bezels to give a soft hint of rich red. The result is an elegant monitor that feels more like handcrafted artwork than a high-performance office tool. The stunning Samsung Touch of Color widescreen LCD monitors. The fusion of high technology and high style. With Samsung, it?s not hard to imagine. They?re works of art. They?ll be a pleasure to work on or game on or whatever on every day. They?re an unexpected bright spot in an industry of sameness. And they?re exactly what you should have been expecting from Samsung. Samsung values design every bit as much as we value technology. We go to work every morning too, and just like you, we want to feel inspired when we walk in the door each morning. We feel very strongly that every product we put our logo on should both perform better and look better than anything else on the market. The latest result of that way of thinking is the beautifully hand-sculpted-feeling Touch of Color series monitors. Yes, it?s a pretty face. But it?s also ready to work. You can?t just sit and admire your Touch of Color monitor all day long. At some point, you have to turn it on and start working. When you do, you?ll be every bit as impressed with the images as you are with the design. |

Samsung Touch Of Color T220 22-inch LCD Monitor Reviews
Purchased this monitor at Costco because of great reviews, and it looked great on display in the store. Tried to ignore it but after watching enough full-screen video it was driving me CRAZY. On this one, light was bleeding in from all 4 sides. I called Samsung (where they assured me it was an unusual problem) and am now awaiting another exchange, which will take anywhere from 1-2 weeks. Is it that hard to just quality check a product before sending it out. When I plugged it in at home it was immediately noticeable there was white light leaking onto the screen from the top & bottom edges. I took it back to Costco (where they treated me like I was nuts) & exchanged it for another one, which had the same problem but WORSE.
I bought a reconditioned unit. Stalker on max resolution plays fantastically, with great reaction times and colours. Overall, though given that I paid $225, I am very impressed. Everything is excellent on this monitor and it has a funky look that I love. The only criticism I have is that some light leaks at several points around the edge of the screen.
If your looking for a mid-size lcd monitor, you can't beat this one for the price. You get the backing of a major company, unlike alot of the cheaper 22in models that come from some company u've never heard of.
The Samsung T-220 is a fantastic monitor, not only in design and curb-appeal but in performance. No matter what you use it for, the screen will be sharp and crystal clear for text, images, photos and background. If your not mounting your monitor to a wall, I would recommend the Samsung T220 to all, it's just a great product. This is the only flaw I could find, but it could be a major one if you want the monitor mounted on a wall. I'm using the T-220 for a CCTV system with a DVR and the images from all 5 camera's are perfectly stunning.
I had to return one monitor for this specific reason. It's because for some unknown reason Samsung decided not to make these T-220 monitor's VESA compliant (no mounting holes in rear of monitor) wall mountable. If your wondering then why I gave the T-220 4 stars instead of 5. When I contacted Samsung their tech-rep admitted the T-220 were their newest monitor addition and could not understand why the T-220's were not designed to be wall mountable.
- Has a great tool that can divide your display into various logical units - a bit mike having multiple displays - very cool as this makes apps snap into the regions just like extra displays. - Can be set to auto detect the exact input source resolution and display the image without any stretching. I resolved this by buying a sturdy stand so I can have the mid-screen point at eye level ;-). - Amazing price - 2ms + 20,000:1 contrast ratio + Samsung quality + auto resolution detect + much more. When you click the link, it's very unclear what you need to do.
Cons:. The assumption is that you will be looking down at the screen up to horizontal, which is ergonomically incorrect. It isn't the design of this LCD that earns merit, although it is a rather timeless looking item and will look smart in any situation. - Tilt only tilts away, not towards you. - Has a great software tool that will set the correct color / contrast / brightness balance. I couldn't see a option for the T220, so I just installed what was on the disk and everything ran fine.
- Software installation is confusing. You must run the software installer using Internet Explorer, otherwise you need to manually run the install exe from the CD. The user should have the option to view at 90 degrees or above to avoid neck strain. - No dead pixels. This is great if you play games that might need 1280 x 1024 or 1680 x 1050. It's the feature set, and there is certainly far more function over form than meets the casual eye.
- Low power consumption - do your bit for Gaia ;-). - Comfortable viewing size - I find larger displays somewhat taxing on the eyes. - Tack sharp display with almost non-existant light bleed at the edges. - No frame color options - just translucent burgundy, which looks blackish most of the time in low light conditions.
Make sure you run MagicBright after installation - the image is stellar once you have this set. - No height adjustment - but by no means a show-stopper when you bear in mind the spec. Pros:. - Games look superb.
- The memory resident tools do not task the CPU. Your treasured vintage game collection will still look splendid. It recommends that you download the latest software.
