There aren't other monitors like these anywhere. Of course.

Imagine being inspired by something old to create something completely new. When sand was fused with soda for the first time around 2500 B.C., a new material was created: glass. And now Samsung designers have fused a clear-as-glass plastic with an opaque, rose-black plastic, to create something completely new in the monitor industry: the Samsung Touch of Color Series widescreen LCD monitors. Luxurious glass-like frames with gracefully sculpted edges join with rose-black bezels to give a soft hint of rich red. The result is an elegant monitor that feels more like handcrafted artwork than a high-performance office tool. The stunning Samsung Touch of Color widescreen LCD monitors. The fusion of high technology and high style. With Samsung, it's not hard to imagine.

They're works of art. They'll be a pleasure to work on or game on or whatever on every day. They're an unexpected bright spot in an industry of sameness. And they're exactly what you should have been expecting from Samsung.

Samsung values design every bit as much as we value technology. We go to work every morning too, and just like you, we want to feel inspired when we walk in the door each morning. We feel very strongly that every product we put our logo on should both perform better and look better than anything else on the market. The latest result of that way of thinking is the beautifully hand-sculpted-feeling Touch of Color series monitors.

Yes, it's a pretty face. But it's also ready to work.

You can't just sit and admire your Touch of Color monitor all day long. At some point, you have to turn it on and start working. When you do, you'll be every bit as impressed with the images as you are with the design.

Features

Reduces Glare
While the crystal-like bezel frame catches light beautifully, it doesn't glare harshly. In fact, it actually reduces refelection of light off the bezel. ToC monitors are easier on your eyes, in more ways than one.

Better and Safer
Since the rich red color is injection molded for a blown glass effect, instead of spray painted, there's less environmental impact.

Lower Power Consumption

ToC monitors (T240, T260) are designed to be extremely efficient, and use up to a third less power than other monitors in their class. And the unique SoftPower off function lets you put it in standy mode right away, using just 0.3W.

Integrated USB Hub and HDMI Connection
The ToC will become the center of your life. An integrated USB hub and HDMI connection let you connect all your digital devices, including HD gaming consoles (T240, T260).

20,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio

The ToC monitors continually analyze the input signal and adjust the contrast to match. The ultra-wide range gives you blacks and whites that are full of detail, even under adverse lighting conditions.

Ultra-fast Response Time

2ms GTG response (T190, T220) and 5ms response (T240, T260) ensure blur-free videos and gaming.

Exclusive MagicColor Technology
Samsung's MagicColor technology gives you richer, more natural color by enhancing the color overall (Full mode) or by enhancing color without affecting delicate skin tones (Intelligent mode).

Exclusive MagicBright 3 Technology
You can make the stunning picture even better. Samsung's MagicBright 3 technology gives you seven presets, so you can tailor your screen setting to the type of media you're viewing. Presets include Text, Internet, Game, Sport, Movie, Print View and Custom.

Windows Vista Premium Certification
ToC monitors are designed to take full advantage of everything Windows Vista OS has to offer.

Customizable Hot Key
Want to open a favorite application with one button? Or connect to the internet? Or adjust picture modes? A customizable hot key puts your favorite preference or command at the tip of your finger.

Multi Screen Need some organization in your life?
Multi Screen can help. You can assign applications and open windows to different quadrants of the screen, and reduce desktop clutter. You can even specify that a certain application always open in a specific quadrant, so you'll always know right where it is.

5 out of 5 stars THIS MONITOR IS WORK OF ART.......   September 7, 2008
Armando Ceja (Encino, CA)
Its true what Samsung says...
"There aren't other monitors like these anywhere. Of Course."

I bought this display 5 days ago... it blew all of the other displays in its class. It's 26 inch Massive display looks Brilliant and bright. It has a full 1080p HD ENERGYSTAR MONITOR. It has HDMI, USB , DVI-D, RGB, standard 2 ch. audio plug in, and a Digital Optical audio hook up! It has all i need.
I hooked it up to my PC and Blu-Ray PS3, the movies/games/ windows vista applications... look Phenomenal. CRYSTAL CLEAR. I'm glad i made the right choice.
all displays should look this SEXY! It has a piano black body with a hint of red at the bottom of the bezel.



5 out of 5 stars Great Monitor, Highly Recommened   August 3, 2008

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. Considering buying another this week and using them in a dual monitor setup. Even though this is a touch of color (red) in normal lighting conditions you dont even see much of the red (only at the bottom), normally it looks almost pure black at the core of the clear coating. However, if you shine a flashlight or very bright light on the montitor's frame you can see its all dark red and not black. I wasnt sure I was going to like this whole touch of color thing but now that I own it I have no objections. The rear of the monitor looks as good as the front. You could easily have this on a desk where people could see the back and it would still look sharp. The back is rounded slightly and has a big Samsung logo on it. Also the connection ports have a plastic cover to hide the works so it maintains a sleek look even with wires going in.

Function:
I am a graphic artist and avid PC gamer and so far I am loving this monitor. The Magicbright and MagicColor features really help to simplify and amaze you with color/contrast management. I have the colors looking spot on now when I do my graphic editing. As an artist I can tell you I am totally happy with the look. As a gamer I am very happy as well. I have noticed that I get screen tearing a lot more noticable on this monitor then others I have owned. I am not sure why. However, turning on a games vsync function helps remedy that problem. Some games lack vsync option and for those games moving the screen around at extremely fast rate or patterns moving very fast will cause screen tearing. Outside of that everything else is flawless. Since screen tearing can be fixed with vsync I dont knock the monitor for this. I will note that the 5ms time seems to be fine for my games. I get no ghosting at high speeds at all things look great. 1920x1200 resolution on Crysis with high settings is a thing of beauty! :)

I highly recommend this monitor for this price point and this size. Its an eye catcher both on and off the screen.



5 out of 5 stars awesome.   August 1, 2008

I don't do serious photo editing and can't really tell apart from true/natural colors, but for me it doesn't matter. this monitor is so crisp - it displays everything nicely. i have played 1080p videos and the quality is excellent. the blacks are really black and the whites are white, probably since it has that 20,000:1 DC ratio. you can adjust brightness/contrast/color settings on your own or use their MagicBright presets for text, internet, gaming etc.

the viewing angle is pretty good if you keep the monitor somewhat at eye level. in addition, it doesn't tilt THAT much, and it does swivel. no dead pixels. there's really not any ghosting involved with movies, but i have yet to try video games.

the only thing is that there's no mounting holes and the back has this flimsy panel cover to hide all your wires.

overall, a monitor that will boost your productivity because it's so big-- it looks sexy too.

3 out of 5 stars NOT a Good choice for Serious Photo Editing   July 18, 2008

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.
