I have had the t260 since wed of this past week and still trying to get my full thoughts on the monitor. So far I really like it and it plays blue ray quite well. I have had 0 problems with it but will give a better opinion in a week or so.

well I don't have the 240 but I do have the 220 and I say it's pretty darn good. Like I've mentioned on the other post, my only peeve about this monitor is that the power button isn't sensitive enough so sometimes I have to touch it a few times to power on and if your'e gaming in your room with the lights off late at night you won't be able to see where the power button is (assuming your monitor is off).

I have a Samsung T240 LCD monitor, that I puchased in Oct 2008. I was quite happy with the performance until about 2 months ago. Picture quality is great. Using the side adjustment buttons is a bit akward. But I believe a major problem with the Samsung Monitor. I have two Users in my PC. When I use my primary/administrator user, I rarely notice any problems. But when the second user uses the PC I have a problem. When the 2nd user turns off the monitor (touch button), the monitor does not turn on when the power is turned on again. The screen is black. When this happens (black screen), the monitor shows that there is a connection to the PC (litte window, DHMI, Digital, Analog) shows up, but nothing else.
The Monitor side buttons (menu etc,,) do not work either. The only way to get back to my screen is to reboot the computer.
The display setting is set to recommended 1920x1200 resulation, and I used the DVI cable.
Dell was remote connected to my computer and could not see the problem on their end. To them the screen display was normal.
I called Samsung and they sent me a new T260 LCD monitor. Guess what the problem showed up again.
When I connected another 19" NEC LCD monitor, i did not have this problem.
I deleted the second user and re-created. The problem comes back. The same problem occurs with the guest user.
I have checked all the settings, they are the same for the primary user and the other users.
when the 2nd user is logged on, if I press the source button (on the side of the monitor) the screen goes black and cannot get the display anymore. I have to reboot the computer.
I am at a loss, and i have not found anybody else that has this problem.

Desertfox31,

You can actually get on amazon.com and get the T260HD for $349 right now, which I think is a better price than the T240. Not sure if you want the extra size or the TV tuner card but just thought I would let you know.

Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Touc [...] 849&sr=8-2

I started having this problem and it occurs randomly. Sometimes when I boot the computer and other times when it goes into suspend state, the monitor shows there is a signal, but I only get a black screen. I have to unplug the connectors from video card and it goes away. Going to call Samsung.
