Initial Impretions of Samsung T260....not good

I have been using 24" monitors for several years now and I have stuck with Samsung all the way. Even though my video cards could handle 30" screens, I just prefer the 24". So I recently ordered two Samsung T260 after rave reviews by many happy customers. And that is how I buy most of my parts. On customer recommendation. In any case, a few complaints. Starting with the stand, every other Samsung I have owned has an adjustable stand for both height and swivel forward/back. This model has neither. If it's not exactly how you like it, youre out of luck. Next, while I haven't messed with gamma, contrast, or anything else, I'm disappointed with the color. It just seems very washed out and a little bright. I compared it side by side with my 245BW and the 245BW just looks better. And it shouldn't. Not for what I paid for this T260. Lastly, I guess it's a design thing but their glass edge called Touch of Color, really sucks. It has no place on a computer monitor. I spend countless hours in front of a screen and the glare is just annoying enough to act. I think Im going to actually get some electrical tape and go around the entire face around the actual viewing area. I really have to question where these designers are coming up with this crap.

This is one of the few times when I wish I would have bought locally and could take them back. Now I need to repack them, ship and pay for the return. Live and learn I guess.
