ok i have the 10 % off coupon and the Microsoft live coupon 30% off which adds up to 40% off

http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-22-T220HD-LCD-...%3A1|240%3A1309

i was thinking of getting this tv which is 319 and can get 127 off so i would get it at 192

well i just need some thing for my room to play some xbox and watch some tv. and this one seems to do it.

what do u guys think or should i go on like slickdeals etc to find something better?
if u want to black out the spoilers you have to set the font to the color "white" then you can use the black spoiler hi light

there's a very big difference between this model and the 52" model. The only thing that's the same is the styling and the brand.

First off yours is most likely a full blown HDTV with 1080p resolution. Gaming will look nice on it because it is 120hz and has anti-judder features (which Samsung calls Automotion Plus).

The T220HD is a computer monitor with a built in TV Tuner. It is first and foremost a monitor. It does not have 1080p resolution.. it is 1680 x 1050 (wsxga+), which is common in computers but not tvs. Thus it is not 1080p.. and currently monitors of that size do not run at 120hz or have anti-judder which will be very noticeable when gaming.

As to the author, get it if you want.. You got a good price on it.. the only other decent deal for a TV in that size range is the Samsung 2333HD, but only Office Max and Depot carries it and it will not feature most of what a bigger HDTV has (yes it is also a monitor with a tv tuner.) but it actually has 1080p resolution.

the only reason why your games play so clear is because of the 120 hz and 1080p res.

None of which the monitor has.

haha, a 22 inch 1080p, 120hz HDTV for $192?

count me in.

ah thanks for the info. mm i dont really need the 1080p (cuz it adds to the price) lol as long as it looks decent enough for gaming (which i hope it is) ill be good with it.

mmm still thinking but after what u said i think i will just go with it

No the samsung is better. It's 1080p vs the Olevia 720p (even though at this size, it does not matter).

I've never heard of the brand Olevia, but i'm sure Samsung is the higher brand here as I have a 32" Samsung LCD that looks amazing when I'm gaming on it.

Samsung looks 10x better than the Olevia.

In conclusion, you should get the samsung one.

I have my PS3 hooked up to the HDMI in the back and my 360 with the HDCP I have the audio through my Sennheiser headphones. Picture is awesome and crisp as I just sit a few feet away.

Ever since I read news that Samsung and Viewsonic have made a 22" 120hz monitor.. I've been constantly following the news to see when it'll reach state side.

yeah, go to a best buy and check it out (they'll falsely advertise it as being calibrated.. when whats really there is one tv having anti-judder turned on and another turned off).


there is a small monitor with 120hz.. although its a professional one

hey wouldn't 1680 x 1050 on a 22 inch look a lot better than a 1920 x 1080 on a 40 inch?

cause for the 40 inch the pixels are only a bit bigger
but it's stretched a lot more

so it should be clearer on the 22 inch..
