[ad#review958-top]In today’s digital world the majority of computer users are using LCD monitors. No matter where you are using a computer, in the office or in the home, Samsung is one of the top manufacturers of LCD monitors. Typically, LCD monitors are pretty much all the same when it comes to style and design. For example, you know that boring black bezel that makes LCD monitors look all the same? Samsung has decided to bring a bit more class and elegance to their LCD monitors with the introduction of their T series, T meaning Touch of Color.

Packaging
Typically, packaged like other LCD monitors I have used, the T240 has nothing that really stands out. Unfortunately, due to the condition of the outer box I thought it best not to post the photos. Don’t worry none of it was shipping damage, but it seems that someone before myself used brown packaging tape all over the box when they were done playing with it.
The insides of course, include the typical items you would get in any LCD monitor you purchase; monitor, stand, AC power cable, DVI and VGA video cables, CD with drivers/software and the installation manual. They even included a quick-start guide, which makes putting together the Samsung T240 that much easier.

I do have a new asus 22″ monitor i'm just attesting to the quality of samsung monitors. They are one of the top ones, as shown by the life of my old one, which now is just rotting in my basement.

It may have lasted this long but the quality might not be up there with todays Samsung LCDs.
The quality was / is still pretty good.

When compared to a brand new model, I doubt it.

I'd say it's comparable to the lower end, generic brand monitors nowadays, which is still pretty good, plus it's still functional, just no space on my desk to use it. Plus, newer isn't always better.
For its time yes but now a days, prolly not.
Newer isn't better is just crazy talk. You can stick with your large tube SD TV, I stick with my HD LCD.
