5 Stars!
I bought this monitor a week ago and i absolutely enjoy this monitor's supperior performance, compared to my older (3 yrs) LCD monitor which just doesn't have a chance to stand up to this one. Its color is very vivid and bright, thanks to its magic color feature and 1080p gives you the opportunity to go full HD. I guess you'd experience same, pixelled performance from this guy if you are still using an old graphics card and a good old VGA cable. I am currently using the DVI input and XFX 5200, and still get decant image at 1600 x 1200 resolution. I can't wait for my BFG 260 to arrive and to watch it in full HD. Other reviewers stated that this monitor shows with washed colors, that it cannot show true black or that it shows different colors on top as apposed to the center...and all those myths. I guess they bought defective products, as my T240 has none of those.

8.5 out of 10 for overall very good monitor producing stunning colors with an elegant exterior minus a few "slightly" annoying perks. highly recommended.

Great midrange monitor - Vibrant, crisp, brilliant picture.
Up until now, I've been gaming on an eMachine 19 inch LCD monitor, which I've been using for over 2 years. And to be honest, it's been a faithful little monitor with no dead pixels all this time.

However, I got tired of the 1440 x 900 resolution, which required scrolling down a lot to view web pages.

So, I bought the Samsung T240, which boasts a 1920 x 1200 resolution on a comparitively monstrous 24" screen. Oh my, what a difference! I've been missing out on a lot.

But, if you do a lot of 3D gaming, beware that the T240, running in its native resolution, will require a beast of a video card to light up all those pixels at a decent framerate with all the game's bells and whistles on. I'm running an Intel Core2 Quad 6600 and a 9800GTX, and even with that nice system, I had to turn off the DirectX 10 setting in "Stalker: Clear Sky". The T240 has a total of nearly twice as many pixels as the typical 19" monitor, so it will require twice the video card power to get the same performance as what you were used to with a 19" monitor. Sure, you can still turn down the game's resolution to get the same performance, and the picture will stretch to fit. But to see your 3D games in all the glory this monitor prvides, you will require a hella video card.

On to quality:
Zero dead pixels out of the box.
Brilliant, bright picture. It looks stunning playing games and surfing the web. The image is crisp and vibrant. I'm loving this thing.

The only drawback is that, while playing a very dark game (like black as night), there is a fair amount of backlight bleed-through around all four edges. For me, this hasn't been a problem, since I don't need to display pure black that often. I just bring it up in case you are going to be displaying a lot of black for some reason. This backlight bleed-through is fairly common with LCD monitors, however it should be noted that the higher-end monitors costing twice as much don't have this problem as much.

Also, the stand swivels very smoothly, but does not tilt (at least I haven't been able to do it), nor is there any height adjustment. The stand is just sturdy enough, but there is no wall-mount option.

This has been the perfect gaming monitor for me, but if any of those niggles I mentioned are a concern for you, you may want to consider something else. Just remember to get a nice video card to go with it. You'll need one to drive all those pixels if you are a gamer or do a lot of video editing. If you're not a gamer or video editor, however, your computer's standard video should be sufficient for displaying web pages or using most windows apps.
