what? DVI has not lost the battle with HDMI. That is why you see all graphics cards with DVI, but HDMI isn't a certainty.

And since monitors are primarily for PC's, what is the benefit of HDMI over DVI? I'm pretty sure you can't output your PC audio through your HDMI, but I may be wrong.]]>Aug 4th 2010 8:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/
You are wrong.

Also HDMI is HDMI (for the most part). DVI has many different types incompatible with each other.]]>Aug 4th 2010 8:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/Aug 4th 2010 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/DVI is good in all but it only carry Video will hdmi can also carry 7.1 audio.

I'm not so sure about the anti-glare. Samsung is notorious when it comes to glossy displays. It could be that the glass frame covers the whole screen :(

I'm perfectly happy with my HP ZR24w, big matte non-TN display.

I have the Samsung T260HD. It is a 26in widescreen and is the predecessor to this monitor. It has 1920x1200 resolution, DVI, and HD-tuner. It is nearly the perfect blend between computer monitor and TV.

It's sad to see Samsung remove features such as DVI and true monitor resolutions and still call this a PC monitor. It's just another HDTV. The Touch of Color line was the last line of monitors that Samsung made that could function as both a monitor and TV and do both *well*.]]>Aug 4th 2010 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/Aug 4th 2010 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/Aug 4th 2010 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/Aug 4th 2010 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/Aug 4th 2010 10:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/The Dell U2410 (IPS Panel) is 24" and does pip but has no tuner, if that was a requirement.]]>Aug 4th 2010 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/Aug 10th 2010 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/Aug 4th 2010 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/Aug 4th 2010 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/Aug 4th 2010 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/Aug 4th 2010 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/samsungs-24-inch-syncmaster-fx2490hd-monitor-doubles-as-1080p-t/Such is life.

AMD comes out with 6 screen graphics cards, something that sounds so supremely awesome that people would rush out to buy some more monitors, and yet some consortium somewhere is conspiring to keep display port off of monitors. There is no way any cable connector and associated chips to decrypt or decode costs more than 25$.

Yet another example of a poor consortium created economic habitat for loads of business fail fun.
