Samsung T260

The Samsung T260 is a 26" (25.5" = 64 cm) LCD monitor that is designed to be as elegant looking on the outside as the images it produces. The monitor bezel features Samsungs Touch of Color, which blends a hint of color into the piano black frame making it look like a piece of art, even when turned off. It features an impressive 20,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and 5ms response time to give sharper images, better light/dark contrast and smoother motion.  The multi-screen feature helps clear desktop clutter allowing you to assign applications to open to into different areas of the screen.  The SoftPower off function allows the monitor to instantly go to standby mode and use only 0.3W of power. It accepts VGA, DVI and HDMI inputs.  There are no built in speakers, but it does have digital/stereo outputs to support the HDMI input. The monitor's over all dimensions are 24" x 19.8" x 9.6"  , it weighs 17.9 lbs and it has a swivel/tilt stand.
