For some reason I can't access the warm color options on the Samsung in either component or TV mode (I can in monitor mode). Does anyone else have this problem? Should I exchange it for another one?

So does this mean that a calibration tool also wouldn't be able to alter the colors? The monitor looks potentially great, but I can't really say it's a keeper until I've seen it properly calibrated.

Anyone have any idea why the color options are grayed out, and I can't change the green, blue, and red colors? I'm using custom option for picture and I'm using a DVI connection for my monitor.

That's strange. For some reason on my T260 HD the color menu options are grayed out. I have a DVI connection, and the picture is set to Custom.

I've almost made my decision as to which computer monitor to get, but what holds me back is that it seems strange to spend $700 or so on a 24-26 inch monitor when I can spend a little more (say $800-$900) and get a nice 32" HDTV. And considering that many people here do prefer to spend more...

For those that picked the T240 over the T260, what was your reasoning? Too big a screen, more expensive, or did you notice the quality wasn't as good? I'm thinking of picking up the T260 over the T240, but I've seen far more positive feedback on this forum of the T240 than the T260, Not that...

Is the T260 the same quality as the T240? The T260 is only $50 more than the T240. Is there any other reason not to buy the T260 instead of the T240 besides the fact that it costs a little more and for some might be too big?

So what's the best 24" glossy monitor? Preferably under $500 but I'm willing to go a couple hundred higher. edit: Sounds like the Samsung T240HD might be the way to go. edit: nevermind, guess the Samsung isn't glossy.

Are there matte monitors that have the same color vibrancy and black deepness (at least appearance wise) as the glossy monitors seem to be? I'm specifically talking about a 24" for under $1000 price tag.

Thanks for the response. It's interesting that you mention that I'd prefer one with a wide gamut display, since that seems to be the primary critique of the HP 2475, which by all other accounts is a damn good monitor Granted it's more expensive than the BenQ, but for an extra couple hundred...

I'm almost sold on the G2400WD. My main concern is whether the colors are to muted. The vibrancy of the colors is probably my #1 priority when purchasing a monitor. I've heard that the Gateway FHD2400 has a more vibrant screen, but other issues about the Gateway make me hesitant. Also, I'll...

I tend to prefer the colors on my monitor to be more vibrant and colorful, so would the wide gamut of colors and oversaturation actually be something I'd prefer?
