    It only has one digital input. You can't switch between sources as there is no other source. You'll need a good KVM to do that.

  • -5

    16:9 aspect ratio is not great for web browsing, productivity software

  • -9

    There are no integrated speakers

gnutttheshark: #samsung_syncmaster_p2770hd From what I can gather, it can properly display 24p over HDMI, but not DVI. More research is needed, but if no refute can be found against this Monitor/TV hybrid displaying 1080/24p, then this is a good monitor/tv hybrid, ideal for movie watching. Dec 2, 10

I have yet to find or use the HDTV or speakers.

For me it is new out of the box today. It was very easy to set up and ties in nicely. It has a 70,000:1 contrast ratio and that means the black is very black. I picked this up at Costco for $349. I'm pretty impressed with it so far. The optimal resolution is 1920x1080 so make sure your video goes that high.
