Samsung T240OB 24" LCD TV

I use this as both my monitor and television. The ability to switch between my computer, my Playstation 3, and broadcast television with the press of a button is truly remarkable. For the price I paid ($430 free shipping) a year ago it was a spectacular deal, but with the price now it's even better! With easy to follow software (menu controls) anyone can go from in-box to fully functional television in under 10 minutes. I have had no issues with dead pixels, pixel striping, or pixel boxes. I have run it on average about 6 hours a day every day for the last year (so that's about 2200 total hours that I have had it on) and haven't had a single issue with it. I would highly recommend it as monitor, but it makes an even better tv. Because of the built-in DTV tuner, easy-to-use menu, and the capability to display true 1080p images, it would seem kind of a waste to only use it as a monitor for your computer. Either way you choose, I guarantee you will be pleased with the T240HD.

Pros:
 Viewing-
*Great Side Viewing Angles (left & right about 160-170 degrees)
*Exceptional Horizontal Swivel Range (around 200 degrees)

 Picture-
*Brilliant Color (colors really seem to "pop", they are very vibrant)
*True 1080p Display (24" is really the smallest size that can display the 1920x1080 resolution)

 Software-
*Customization Ability (can change many settings allowing you to make viewing perfect for environment. Note: you can adjust the strength of the power indicator light on the front from very bright to off)

 Build-
*Aesthetically Pleasing To The Eye (the Touch of Color adds a lot of quality to the appearance)
*Doesn't Get Hot (temperature stays cool...can get warm in enclosed spaces, but never hot)
*2 HDMI Ports (it's always nice to have two different peripherals, which use the same connection type, to be plugged directly into the tv/monitor at the same time)
*Built-In DTV Tuner (simply allows for less hassle when being used as a television because no outside tuner box is necessary)
    
Remote Control (easy to use)

Cons:
 Viewing-
*Poor Vertical Viewing Angles (anything below horizontal results in severely distorted color and brightness, above horizontal stays clean for about 45 degrees then begins distortion as well)
*Cannot Tilt Downward Past 90 degree Vertical (not really an issue unless it will sit high and you will be viewing it from below...if this is the case, this monitor/tv isn't highly recommended)

 Sound-
*Mediocre Speaker Quality (two 3Watt speakers don't encapsulate a completely full sound, the bass is lacking so the treble stands out)

 Build-
*No Vertical Height Adjustment (screen can be tilted, but not raised or lowered)
*Not Wall Mountable (as clearly advertised)

NOTE:
Initial Resolution Display (this monitor/tv starts out displaying things in 1920x1200 resolution, which distorts images, but a simple adjustment in the menu can easily fix it with no future issues)
