I love my philips lcd TV so when my game loving boyfriend wanted a new monitor we thought we'd get one to match having been so pleased with the TV, so off we went to PC world and told the salesman we'd prefer a philips monitor similar to the TV, they had a few in the range but this is the one he managed to sell us, it has good picture quality and is widescreen, perfect for my boyfriends war games, it can also be used as a TV, which is handy if space ...
...of the features on this monitor which makes it stand apart from the rest is that it can "pivot" you can use the monitor in landscape as normal or if you so wish use it in portrait, the advantage of viewing the screen in portrait is that you can read more of word documents and see more of web pages without having to scroll down so much, it comes with a pivot cd-ROM so you can set this up, I would recommend putting it on even if you don't wish to use ...

...over. About It The Samsung T240 HD is a flat screen TV which has Freeview built in, as long as you are able to access it in your area. This TV is fantastic if you are wanting to update your older one, and because of the Digital switch over that will be happening around the country, it will then save you buying a new freeview box as well. It is also HD ready which means you will be able to plug in a Blu-Ray player, PS3, Xbox 360 or any other ...
...originally going to buy a Samsung TV. We were going to stay with Sony as that is really what we would usually buy. We were always pretty loyal customers. We went to the local Dixons which has 100's of TVs on show. What was proven was that Sony was not a big player anymore. The Samsung appealed most because of the quality. It was next to a LG which wasn't as good as the Samsung. But the size of it is we, at 24" is really big. Dixons showed it off ... Read review

Advantages: easy to use/set up. Widescreen. Built in speakers.
Disadvantages: Not enough base on sound

I have spent my christmas money on this monitor. Looking at its clarity in the store made me decide to go for it. Getting home and taking it out of the box, I was pleased with the way it was protected against knocks and bumps. Plenty of cover over the screen to stop scratches. When I got its base fastened to the screen it was then I realised how heavy it was. It sits nice and firm on the desk. The tilting mechanism works great although a bit tight ...
...I would of licked it to adjust upwards aswell, but for the price its good. A 19 inch wide screen is definatly good for watching movies with. Connecting it up to the computer is with the VGA socket (the blue multi pinned one) and no other one is there so one thing to think about when you buy it. The cable is supplied with the unit though. The nice thing about the power cable is it does not have a mains dropper on it. You plug straight into the mains ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, excellent picture, bright, vibrant.
Disadvantages: None!

I have owned one of these for over a year and I'm VERY impressed with this monitor! I think I paid about £120 for it from eBuyer and it's the best monitor I've ever owned. The picture is crisp, clear and wonderfully bright. No dead pixels and the refresh rate is amazing, never a jerk in sight (except when my brother visits... jerk!) With a resolution of 1680x1050 (SWXGA+) it's perfect for widescreen films and playing games you naturally want to ...
...been using it with OpenSUSE 9, 10, and 11 (Linux) and I've had no problem it whatsoever. I haven't tried the sound as I use separate speakers for my audio but I doubt they will boom out thumping bass. However, if they're as good as the screen itself, you shouldn't be too disappointed. Buy one, you won't regret it. ... Read review
