Samsung TOC T260HD Unboxing

[Smoot]

I recently bought the Samsung Touch of Color T260HD monitor from newegg for $316. I've had it for almost a week now and so far it has been the best monitor I've ever had. I used to have a Samsung 21" but that was stolen so for the past year I've been on a CRT 17". I've finally come around to buying another and I think I made the right choice.

There are no dead pixels and it gives off just a little heat. I love the resolution (1920x1200) and the picture quality is just brilliant.

Here you go:

The funny thing is I financed it completely with the selling of my used iPhone 3g.

(If the Picasa images breaks I'll fix them)

damn nice looking monitor but [I]remove that plastic shit why do people keep it on every single goddamn thing for ages and it annoys me so much auugghhhh[/I]

[sbradford26]

Looks good can we get your system specs?

[ss1234]

looks nice and considering you sold your 3g to fund it, it must have been a good purchase.

I see your TV remote is only marginally less annoying than my Samsung remote in terms of button layout

[Smoot]

I removed the plastic after I took the photos. I kept it on so when I was moving it around it wouldn't scratch/fingerprint.

System specs:

AMD Phenom II X4 940 at 3.6Ghz
4gb of RAM (Don't ask me the speed, I forget)
BFG GTX 280 (It's one of those special slightly overclocked ones. Again, I forget the actual speeds)

I also like the TV Tuner and flurry of inputs. Once I get a DirecTV box in my room I'll certainly hook TV up to it. Too bad DirecTV charges $100 to do that >:(

Also I was hoping the Touch of Color was an actual light and not just a paint scheme. it would be seriously cool if the whole underside was glowing in the dark.

This was the one monitor I liked that had a 1920x1200 resolution.

Pretty cool considering you sold something so small for something as nice as this.

[slinkman]

I don't like that stand very much, maybe it's just me.

I used this monitor for a month and overall was happy with it, but It had a light bleeding issue on the top and bottom. Still great for gaming and videos.

Yeah I am not really picky when it comes to bleeding and I haven't noticed anything like that either.

Overall if I had to rate it I'd give it a 9/10. It's a 9 because the touch of color strip should glow and it doesn't so you can only see it when it's bright in the room.

Yeah I sold a 3 inch iPhone (that was used and scratched and stuff) for a brand new 26" monitor.

Mmm...
