I purchased the T220HD as a replacement for a bedroom TV. As I only use the unit as a TV, not as a monitor, I can only comment on it for the TV features.
Pros:
1) The value and versatility for the price is very good.
2) The picture quality is impressive with some minor color customizations.
3) It receives OTA HD signal very well with a roof VHF/UHF antenna
4) The response time when changing channels is very good, 1-2 seconds.
5) The menuing is easy to navigate and fairly intuitive.
6) The "Touch of Color" case is nicely designed.
7) The remote control has good size, multi-color buttons so it is easy to see and use.
8) The remote is not strictly directional - you don't have to point it directly at the TV.
9) The sound volume is fine for a small room - I don't feel a need for external speakers.
Cons:
1)The most annoying feature is the channel display. When changing channels the info display stays on for a very short time, 1-2 seconds, and the channel is only shown in about a 1/4" number! When viewing it from across a small room, it is virtually unreadable. For the size of the display information window, the channel number could have easily been 1-2 inches and still easily fit in the window. I called Samsung support, thinking maybe their is an option to display it larger, but was told "no" and that this model cannot get any software/flash upgrades. One Samsung tech told me it was meant to be a monitor, not a TV, and that is why the channel display is so small. ...hmmm
2) The the shape of the remote is semi-circular on the bottom, which makes it slippery and awkward to hold/operate with one hand.
3) Having a dedicated button on the remote for the sleep timer would be nice instead of having to go through menus to set it.
Despite the cons, the channel display being my biggest disappointment, I still think it is a good value and the overall quality and versatility is very good. I would probably rate it "5 stars" if it wasn't for the channel display.
