Samsung is an LCD TV, the Asus one isn't... there is big difference in what you really need. Pure LCD or TV...

well Asus isn't, that's my point... It depends what do you want. Because you can buy just LCD and a TV-Tuner card...
I have T220 and a TV-Tuner and it works perfect. And in this review they say that the power button is one of the downside, while for me it's the coolest thing Very Happy

I doubt it's as bad as they make it seem. If it's a constant issue where you ALWAYS need to use it like the razer speakers then I can see it as an issue. But as something I don't use very much it'll be nice. They have a light button on the razer lycosa like that.

they seem to have a problem that the power button isn't sensitive enough .... but shit, I don't even remember the last time I've ever used mine. It usually goes into standby by itself, and that's about the extent of it.

Get the 260HD. I love mine. And about the power button? It's a non-issue with the remote control functionality(if of course you even do turn the monitor off).

What I myself have setup is this: I have the Harmony 880 programmed for the monitor, my speakers, xbox360, and a few other peripherals. When I want to use my computer, I hit the customized 'PC' activity which switches the monitor and speakers on and sets everything to right mode. Hit the power off when done, everything goes off. Also have it programmed for 'watch tv' and 'play xbox'. It is a pretty sweet setup. And yeah, no worries about a non-responsive power button.

Lol, that's exactly what I thought when I bought my T220.
