For those that read my "Fuck Hannspree" rants, there is a happy ending. Here's a quick and dirty review. This is not the first Samsung SyncMaster TV/Monitor I've owned (I liked the older one I had as well)

Upsides:
+Decent price for the combo: @ $299, this would be perfect for any small home office or dorm room
+Great picture for both HDTV and computer monitor
+Great color reproduction out of the box, needed minimal calibration
+It comes with a remote that I don't hate
+Component, HDMI, VGA inputs
+Decent black levels

Downsides:
-Only 23". Which isn't a horrible negative, but of course bigger is better
-Stand seems very fixed, this isn't easily repositionable
-60Hz only
-Weird menu scrolling anomaly when I positioned powered antenna close to the monitor
-Some features a little questionable such as "Viewing Angle"

Summary: Returned my 25" Hannspree shit monitor, got this, I'm very happy with it and may buy another one. Wasn't crazy about going with something smaller in size, but the HDTV functions are really quite nice.

just ordered a couple led monitors and couple of hybrid led monitors. and one hybrid ssd drive to play with.
more curious about the hybrid drives.

when you get a chance post about the hybrid drives... i've seen them on sale for very good prices, but always wondered how well they work.

will do,I'm looking to see the performance between the sata vs ssd vs hybrid results.

hybrids work better over time as they cache more frequently used files/programs. so first boot will be meh, second boot will ooo, third boot will be woah. but for a lot of other things the performance is minimal. its the same concept of having turbo cache or whatever MS choked up with usb drives.

What's up with all the advertising and descriptions of LCD monitors/TVs calling them LED monitors and LED TVs? There is no mention of LCD at all. Now there are tons of people saying they have or want to get an LED TV or monitor. They think it's a different display type (like plasma or DLP). All it is is a LCD using LEDs as the light source (instead of CCFL).

Why are people so dumb?

Because saying "Hey, this light-emitting diode backlit liquid crystal display is sooooooo much more energy efficient than the old cold cathode florescent lamp one I had" would be gay.

I've got a sync master 22" p2250 it doesn't have HDMI only vga and dvi but I cant complain about it.

and led's last longer.
I'm looking to perform surgry on one and see how the led's are set up.

It's not hard to write LED Lit LCD HDTV. LED HDTV is misleading (for the dumb folk).
