Reportedly, the T260HD is *not* HDCP compliant. If true, this means very few people are going to be using this monitor with their PS3s or Blu-Ray players. It will also undercut the versatility of the monitor/tuner and make it useless for many of us.
Pity, that, since I thought I wanted one.
Also: TN panel, non-adjustable stand, non-wall-mountable monitor = dodgy viewing angles for the deskless. Consider the practicality of your visual sweet spot before buying.
I connected the PS3 to the Samsung T240HD via HDMI and played a couple of Blu-ray movies and the played with no problems with sound. When the home screen of the PS3 displayed you have to used JUST SCAN mode to get the 1080p display mode but there is a small bar in the top and bottom of the screen. However, when I select to play the game in the PS3 (Grand Theft Auto IV) the screen was filled completely displaying the 1080p that the game support. Great for watching TV, even if conencted to Non-HD Cable.
“While it's not exactly punching it out with the heavyweights in multi-room audio, the Mint Studio does certainly hold its own with many similarly-priced iPod docks out there.”
