Hey guys, ok i narrowed down my options for the last week and the Samsung T220 is looking like the best choice, I'll be using it for mostly games, an the odd movie. I really need to pick a monitor out haha I've been looking all week, I just want some reviews from people who own them. I can get one refurbished for a pretty good price? Should I go refurbished?

I have no personal experience with the T220.

Note that if you are going to use it with Triple Head 2 Go there is a fatal flaw as mentioned in Monitors that will not run on 5040x1050 @ 57hz

Samsung T220 (osd warning screen pops up and keeps popping up every few minutes)

Otherwise it gets 5 stars in a DigitalVersus Review.

At the moment I'm favouring the ViewSonic VX2260wm, or VX2265mw if it comes out soon enough, for reasons I list in 2009-01. The best 22" widescreeen all round monitor.

Never buy refurbed unless you see it. Alot of refurb's have dead pixels...its a gamble either way, I just like a fresh deck.

T220 also has panel lottery issue which samsung is infamous for. There are 4 different panel types which have different quality components. If you read a 5/5 review and get something totally different, chances are you have lower quality panel.

Skip this one.

Hello,

I read this post with great interest because I already have one T220 and I want to have a Matrox triplehead2go.

Can I buy 2 other T220 and use it with the triplehead2Go ?

Is there a problem to have a resolution of 5080x1050 ?

Thanks a lot for your help.

OOEFO.

Is there a problem to have a resolution of 5080x1050 ?

Yes, T220 will display osd warning message @57hz which you can test yourself with one display and custom resolution of 1680x1050@57hz.

If you can deal with the error message, go for it. I recommend you sell it and get displays that work out of the box.

thanks.

One more question if I can....

Is-it possible to define anotherfrequency that 57hz with 5040x1050 ?

Thanks.
