Samsung has been upping the style stakes with each new wave of products, so it’s not surprising to see more colours being added to its TOC (Touch Of Colour) line of monitors. The T190, T220, T240 and T260 are now available in a deep ruby red infusion that’s meant to look like blown glass. We have to admit, the minimalist design and smooth finish is not unattractive to our uncultured eye and we approve of the energy efficient power consumption – 50% lower than the competition. It’s the 20,000:1 contrast ratio, a speedy 2 ms response time and the handy HDMI input that really get us going though.
