Hi all

I was looking for a TV for my bedroom (something like a 26" full HD) and i came accross a Samsung T260HD, Samsung's website list this as a computer monitor, but retailers seem to list it as a TV screen

All i want is a Samsung Full-HD LCD screen to watch TV and movies on

I have the 24" version of this screen. Great as a multi-use TV, but it is 16:10 rather than 16:9, so 1080p images have to either be stretched or windowed.

ah ok, thanks for that, so its a monitor then, rather than a TV?

Well they do make 2 versions of it, one with a tuner and one without. In all honesty though the amount of inputs on it and it's flexibility make it about the best multi-use screen that I could find. We primarily use it as a monitor but it gets use in the office as a TV and also is great for using the PS3 on if the main TV is in use.

One of the supermarkets has the 24" for under £200 instore at the moment.

I have a pair of T240s (without the tuner) and they've been nothing but fantastic.
