T240HD Tilt

[celwin]

For those of you that have this monitor. watch this review video at the bottom of this page. Pay particular attention to where he tilts the monitor. Mine certainly does not tilt at all. Are you guys able to tilt like he's doing in the video?

Nope. I've seen both the T240HD and T260HD IRL and I was not able to tilt either. Add to the fact that there is no VESA mounting totally kills the deal here.

Bought my T240HD back in April of '09, and it definitely does tilt.

Good monitor for the price, despite the lack of VESA compatibility, and assuming you can stomach the look of a TN panel. The selling point for me was the cable TV input on the back since I was buying it to replace a good old Samsung 170MP.

Weird that yours does and the display model at one of my local brick & mortars does not.

The strange thing is, I was pretty sure mine didn't tilt. I tested it before responding, just to make sure, and lo and behold it did! Perhaps there's some kind of tilt-lock button?

Maybe Samsung made some revisions to this model? I noticed on Newegg, while reading customer reviews, that people were annoyed with the glossy screen and yet the guy doing the video review of the monitor says the screen has a matte finish. So, which is it?

Mine has a nice matte screen, but the bezel is high gloss. Actually, it's annoyingly high gloss. Maybe that's what they were complaining about?

 

[Setzer777]

Ah ok, maybe I misread. They probably were referring to the frame.

I should have looked into it more because that was the only reason I decided not to get the T240HD. Damn.

I wanna ask the owners of Samsung T240HD ,to do me a favor.
Please,tell me the EXACTLY sizes of this monitor: lenght / hight / and diagonally. ( in cm or inch )
ONLY THE DISPLAY SURFACE,please. No bezel,no stand or whatever.
Thanks in advance.
PS : Please don't give me some links. All i want from you to measure the sizes.It takes 1 minute.
