Specs
I am a college freshman this fall, and because of the small dorm rooms, I was looking for an "all in one display". I'm sure many of you can imagine the difficulty in finding one, which is why models like the 32" Sharp and 37" Westinghouse are so popular. I was looking for an inexpensive 24" that would serve as a primary monitor, with connectivity for Xbox 360 and possibly cable TV. The T240HD delivers.
I bought this model from Newegg for $459 shipped during a weekend special. I purchased it late Saturday and it arrived the following Thursday.
I would have preferred the monitor to be double boxed, but it didn't matter as it was well protected.
As you can see it includes a DVI cable, a VGA cable, power cable, remote, and stand, among various other accessories like batteries and a wiping cloth.
It also comes with a remote, an accessory rarely found among 24" monitors but extremely useful.
Stand instructions.
The back of the display. There are speakers at the bottom.
There is also an additional HDMI input on the side.
It actually has fairly good side angles for a TN monitor.
The following pics are all of 1080p movies.
Unfortunately I suck at taking pictures so these pictures may show some crushed blacks that aren't there. One thing that sold me on the T240HD was the 1:1 pixel mapping, so the following pictures of Xbox 360 over HDMI all have black bars at the top and bottom to preserve the 16:9 aspect ratio.
It's hard to take a good picture but here is one of the monitor itself.
The power light at the bottom right corner can be turned off through the display's menu. There is some slight backlight bleeding at the bottom, about the same size as the default windows taskbar but slightly curved. I notice no banding or dead pixels, but I haven't looked too closely yet. I will report back later with more findings since I am still testing it.

But for console gaming I love it! I never thought I'd get the same quality of PQ as my previous BRAVIA and it does and more! From where I sit I can tell the differences between 720p and 1080p. I was going to get the T260HD but it wasn't on display and I heard that the colors were washed out so I opted for this one and have no regrets. I don't notice any lag or ghosting on console gaming either. Take a look at the BenQ V2400W and the BenQ FP241VW, I've heard those are really good for PC gaming.
