Beautiful...
I just received the monitor, so my intention is to write a review based on initial impressions. In-depth reviews and long-term reviews I'll leave to others.
Out of the box, not much of a problem. I didn't have much a problem with anything. Just put the two pieces of the base together, insert the metal base piece into the bottom of the monitor, take off the back plate and insert your power cable and whatever cable you are going to use to hook it up to your computer, and pop the back...

Beautiful panel.
Tech Level: average
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Gorgeous colors, excellent contrast, decent viewing angles. Best 26" TN panel Ive seen personally.
Cons: Oh no my viewing angles! Because I spend 6 hours a day staring straight down at my monitor from an oblique angle because I have a stick up my but and I can't sit in a chair.
Other Thoughts: Silly yuppie...

Great Monitor, Highly Recommened
I bought this monitor in the last week and own a few other LCD's around the house even very expensive top end sony bravia xbr's. I have to say this is up there with my new favorite LCD's in the house.
Looks:
The housing (screen bezel) on this monitor is stunning in design. It looks like a clear thick candy coating of plastic was formed around the monitors frame. You can see the light refract around the edges of the thicker clear plastic and it looks really eye catching. Consider...

NOT a Good choice for Serious Photo Editing
The T260 is a TN panel with a very narrow viewing angle: from top to bottom and left to right there is a considerable variation in brightness and color accuracy. I found myself unable to get an accurate gamma setting on this monitor and after a week of trying I gave up and returned the monitor for a refund. For Internet surfing, watching videos and gaming this monitor will do the job. For serious photo work forget it.

Pretty, but not good for graphic designers...
Yes, this is a very nice LARGE monitor, the image is sharp, the video is smooth. BUT if you are a graphics professional, this monitor is a poor choice. Out of the box the color shift is horrible. Calibrating with the standard Mac OSX calibrator did very little to help--the shadows behind all of the windows glowed a dull pea-green. I had to turn off the shadows with a 3rd party hack... Finally, using a professional calibrator (spyder 2)that you stick on the monitor I was able to pull it in to tol...

Big and disappointing
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Classy design, no dead pixels.
Cons: I have spent countless hours adjusting the settings on this monitor and I have never got it looking better than "submediocre", as my wife likes to call me. It can be downright offensive to the eyes. The gamma curves are way out and text never looks right. The $200 24" Korean special LCD sitting next to it blows it away in every...

TN Panel
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Big Screen Real Estate.
Cons: This is a TN panel. For those of us that are picky, this was a mistake to buy. Nowhere does it say it's a TN panel, just says 16.7 million colors which is misleading, since it's 6-bit and dithers the rest. I was foolish and scrapped the box, so now I'm stuck with a monitor I don't want.

Would not ever buy again
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It is Big
Cons: The graphics on this Monitor are shabby at best, My old ViewSonic VP201b is 30 times the Monitor this thing will ever be! The advertised view angle is a absolute lie slight movements in front of this monitor changes the color you see.
Anyone that says any different simply does not know any quality LCD Displays. Do you...

Samsung T260 Monitor - DOA
I ordered the Samsung T260 monitor recently becuase Amazon had a good price on it, and there was free shipping. After having enjoyed my other Syncmaster purchase of recent I knew i was going to be very happy. I was actually planning on buying the T260HD model, but I stayed up late to order and when I came across this model, I thought the two were the same and I was just getting a bargin. Anyway, I decided to keep this model as my purchase choice and when the price dropped thirty bucks before I i...

Perfect for gaming but has a few problems
First off, this is a TN panel and probably isn't ideal or photo or video editing. That's fine, all that I use it for is playing games. It is perfect for that application. I purchased it on a great holiday sale for less than $400, and for that price, I think it is an excellent value. If you're looking for a fast gaming monitor, this one will do the job. Just don't expect to use professional editing tools like CS3 and get perfect results.
Monitors has some useful features:
