The picture quality started out very good on my monitor, but deteriorated over a couple of years. Vertical banding began to appear. Now. When my kids hit my sons (then 10-years old) laptop screen with a lacrosse stick for the second time, Comp USA would not replace it again. I love this monitor. I have two of these hooked up to different computers, and neither has ever required any adjustments.

Poor Design, but great pictures I have owned this for 3 years and 4 months. The matte screen is great. I get a great picture on normal functions. No Samsung customer service My one star is not because this is a bad monitor, but because Samsung will not stand by their product and warranty claims. An Excellent Monitor for the Price This arrived quickly, packed with the essential cords, and works great.

A desk. As always I think Samsung continue to manufacture some of the best displays that are out there and this screen is no exception. 2ms, 22" - thats why Samsung SyncMaster 226BW is so good. Any deoderant near it. Fortunately Samsung have wisely provided you with a cleaning cloth, so thats alright. I really like this monitor. Its from a good reliable comapany ( Samsuny) . It is very clear and very precise.

ive gone through quite a few monitors already due to gaming. i just dont like any other monitor after having this. its so vibrant and crisp.
martinv 1:50am on Tuesday, August 10th, 2010 
Im using this monitor, and i cant complain about it. It has everything that need to play games and watch movies. It looks solid but also stylish due to the glossy black look. On looks alone then the Samsung would have things wrapped up before we even left the starting blocks.
XRumer676 3:22pm on Saturday, July 10th, 2010 
I just bought this today. I had a normal crt monitor and now this all i can say is wow....picked it up for 300 and never regretted it.
Don Trinkl 7:44pm on Thursday, June 24th, 2010 
My son has already thrown a toy into the screen and killed a pixel. Oh what can you do? Life goes on... I researched for a monitor that was supior.
BigMonster 11:26pm on Wednesday, June 9th, 2010 
Samsung SM226BW Monitor At his request I bought this for my son at Christmas. He had researched it and said that it was the bees knees. Blurry when showing fast-moving images - on its way back to Amazon I bought this panel. Mmmm Not Really Samsung...Part 2 Why didnt I just stick with the review made by C. Falconer "Mmmm Not Really Samsung...,"?
ooValmiki 11:30pm on Thursday, June 3rd, 2010 
I have used many lcd monitors, and this is by far my favorite one. No dead pixels, great refresh rate, bright, sharp image quality. In all. I dual boot XP and Vista. I found it interesting that this monitor looked near perfect with XP out of the box. Albeit too bright. In Vista however.
Lorchi 12:18pm on Friday, March 26th, 2010 
Very nice monitor, I am able to get so much desktop displayed on this screen - it is great! Multiple browsers, large .xls files. fantastic, fantastic bright and crisp with vivid colors flashing blue light when computer's in standby is undesireable No Comment. Beautiful monitor-Great price even without the rebate. Quite a stretch of real estate.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The PS 260T is designed to interface the party lines of the ASL intercom system to external audio equipment or 4-wire communication systems. Applications may be: Temporarily extending a fixed installed 4-wire intercom system with a portable ASL intercom set for use on location, connecting an ASL intercom system to a (4-wire) camera CCU, injecting an external audio signal into an ASL intercom party line, monitoring the audio of an ASL intercom party line by external equipment such as recorders or paging systems, etc. The PS 260T includes two separate and identical interface modules. Each interface has its Intercom Line connectors and its Audio Line connectors (input and output), positioned on the rear of the PS 260T.
The electronic circuitry of each interface is powered by the 30V DC power supplied via the intercom party line. The unbalanced signal on the audio wire of the ASL party line appears on the PS 260T audio output connector after being converted to a balanced signal. The signals brought to the audio input connector are placed on the audio wire of the intercom line connector. Two-stage side tone trimmers avoid that audio input signals appear at the audio output connector. The input/output separation is better than 30 dB from 200 Hz to 20 kHz. The built-in test tone generator assists to adjust or check the side tone levels. The audio inputs and audio outputs of the PS 260T are transformer balanced.
UNPACKING After unpacking the unit please inspect for any physical damage to the unit, and retain the shipping carton and relevant packing materials for use should the unit need returning. If any damage has occurred, please notify your dealer so that a written claim can be initiated. Please also refer to the warranty section of this manual.
The shipping carton contains the parts listed below * The PS 260T * User manual If any are missing, contact your dealer. ASL has taken great care to ensure this product reaches you in flawless condition.
WARRANTY Faults arising from misuse, unauthorized modifications or accidents are not covered by this warranty. If the unit is faulty, it should be sent in its original packing to the supplier or your local ASL dealer, with shipping prepaid. A note must be included stating the faults found and a copy of the original suppliers invoice.
This unit is warranted by ASL Intercom to the original end-user purchaser against defects in workmanship and materials in its manufacture for a period of one year from the date of shipment to the end-user.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION There are no separate power connections to install since the necessary DC voltages are derived from the ASL party line. The PS 260T is fully protected against wiring mistakes (reverse power) or short circuit in the interconnecting cables.
To connect the PS 260T to an ASL party line intercom system and to external audio equipment or a 4-wire intercom system, use professional flexible microphone cable with 2 wires and 1 shield only. The party line cables are to be connected to the INTERCOM LINE connectors on the rear of the PS 260T. The cables from/to external audio equipment or of a 4-wire intercom system are to be connected to the AUDIO LINE connectors (input & output), also on the rear of the PS 260T.

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

The PS 260T contains two identical interface modules. Each interface has the following front panel controls: 1 POWER LED indicator This LED illuminates if line power is supplied by an ASL separate power supply or an ASL master station, via the intercom party line 2 INPUT LEVEL control knob This knob controls the level of the audio input signal before it is placed on the intercom line 3 OUTPUT LEVEL control knob This knob controls the level of the intercom audio signal appearing at the output connector 4 SIDE TONE LEVEL trimmer This trimmer controls the input/output separation 5 SIDE TONE HI trimmer This trimmer controls the input/output separation in the high frequency range 6 SIDE TONE TEST knob This hidden push button activates a test tone generator which adds a 200 Hz tone to the audio input circuitry. This to assist adjusting or checking the side tone trimmer settings. The momentary push button can be reached with a pin or pen. Side tone adjustment procedure: Connect a monitor amplifier + speaker to the audio output Turn up output level of the PS 260T to approx. 50% Bring the side tone trimmers in start position: Level trimmer: turn fully clockwise Hi trimmer: turn fully anti clockwise Activate the test tone generator. Minimize test tone level by turning the level trimmer anti clock wise. Minimize the remaining high frequencies of the test tone by turning the hi trimmer clockwise. Repeat the two last mentioned procedures to obtain the lowest possible test tone levels. The test tone is also heard by the users of the party line intercom, which is rather disturbing. ASL advises to not activate the test tone when the party line intercom system is in use.

REAR PANEL CONNECTORS

The PS 260T contains two identical interface modules. Each interface has the following rear panel connectors: 7 AUDIO INPUT connector (XLR-3) The input is transformer balanced. Pin assignments : Pin 1: 0V / ground shield Pin 2: signal + Pin 3: signal 8 AUDIO OUTPUT connector (XLR-3) The output is transformer balanced and capable of driving a 600 ohms load.

PAGE 5 User Manual PS 260T / Issue 2010 ASL Intercom BV.
PARTY LINE, TECHNICAL CONCEPT This principle has three advantages: the use of a single audio line allows several stations to talk and listen simultaneously due to the high bridging impedance offered by each station, the number of stations on the party line has no influence on the level of the communications signal power and audio to the intercom stations use the same cable The Call signal is also sent as a current on the audio line. It develops a DC potential over the line impedance which will be sensed by each station and interpreted as a Call signal.
User stations in an ASL intercom system are connected via one or several 'party lines'. A party line offers two way (full duplex) communication and consists of standard microphone (multi-pair) cable. One wire is used as an audio line, one as a power line and the screen of the cable functions as earth/return. Current drive is used for signal transfer. Each station utilizes a current amplifier to amplify the microphone signal and place it on the common audio line where, due to the constant line impedance (situated in the power supply between XLR pin 3 and 1), a signal voltage is developed which can be further amplified and sent to the headphones or loudspeakers. 10.0 CABLING
The intercom lines (the party lines) are of the shielded two-conductor microphone cable type. The intercom line connectors are of the XLR-3 type. Audio and Call signals are on XLR pin 3, DC power is on XLR pin 2. XLR pin 1 is connected to the shield of the cable which functions as the common return for audio and power. The audio signal is transferred in an unbalanced way (see Party Line, Technical Concept). To avoid earth loops (hum), the possible effect of electromagnetic fields and to minimize power loss, certain rules have to be obeyed when installing the cabling of an intercom system : Use high quality cable Use high quality microphone cable (shielded two conductor cable, minimum 2x 0.30 mm2). In case multi-pair microphone cable is used, it should be of high quality and each pair should consist of two conductors (minimum 2x 0.15 mm2) with separate shield and an overall shield. Use flexible cable Use flexible single and multi-pair microphone cable instead of cable with solid cores, especially when the cable is subjected to bending during operation or installation. Cable screens to XLR pin 1 The screen of each separate microphone cable and/or the screen of each single pair in a multi-pair cable, should be connected to pin 1 of each XLR-3 connector. Do not connect these screens to the metal housing of ASL unitst or XLR-3 wall boxes. See section Earthing Concept. Connect metal cable trunks, wall boxes and overall multi-pair cable screens to clean earth Metal cable trunks, metal wall boxes and overall multi-pair cable screens should be interconnected and, at the 'central earth point' in the intercom network only, be connected to a clean earth or a safety earth. (see section Earthing Concept). Keep metal connection boxes and cable trunks or pipes isolated from other metal parts Metal trunks or pipes for intercom cables and metal connection boxes should be mounted in such a way that they are isolated from any other metal housing or construction part. Keep cables parallel as much as possible When two (multi channel) units in a network are connected by more than one cable, make sure that these cables are parallel to each other over the whole distance between those units. When using multi-pair cable, parallelism is ensured in the best possible way. Avoid closed loops Always avoid that intercom cables are making a closed loop. So-called 'ring intercom' should not physically be cabled as a ring. Keep cables away from electromagnetic sources Keep intercom cables away from high energy cables, e.g. 115/230/400V mains power or dimmer controlled feeds for spotlights. Intercom cables should cross high energy cables at an angle of 90 only. Intercom cables should never be in the same trunks as energy cables. Place power supply in a central position In case of a system powered by a separate power supply: In order to diminish power losses, place the power supply as close as possible to where most power consumption occurs, in other words most user stations are placed. ASL powered units to a 'clean' mains outlet Master stations or power supplies should be connected to a mains outlet with a clean earth. Other audio equipment may be connected to this mains outlet, but avoid using an outlet which also powers dimmer controlled lighting systems. In case of more complex installations, don't hesitate to contact us for advice.

UNPACKING ASL has taken great care to ensure that this product reaches you in flawless condition. After unpacking the unit please inspect for any physical damage to the unit, and retain the shipping carton and relevant packing materials for use should the unit need returning. If any damage has occurred, please notify your dealer immediately so that a written claim can be initiated. Please also refer to the warranty section of this manual.
The shipping carton contains the parts listed below * The BS 286 * Mains power cable * Spare fuses * User manual If any are missing, contact your dealer.
WARRANTY or accidents are not covered by this warranty. If the unit is faulty it should be sent in its original packing, to the supplier or your local ASL dealer, with shipping prepaid. A note must be included stating the faults found and a copy of the original suppliers invoice.

This unit is warranted by ASL Intercom to the original end-user purchaser against defects in workmanship and materials in it's manufacture for a period of one year from date of shipment to the end-user. Faults arising from misuse, unauthorized modifications 4.0 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
For the BS 286 a vertical rack space of 1U (1.75, 44mm) is required. It is not necessary to provide rear support by extra bracing or shelving. Adequate ventilation must be provided by allowing sufficient space around the sides and rear of the unit to ensure free circulation of air. 5.0 MAINS POWER & SAFETY EARTH
Forced cooling is not required. The power supply regulator is mounted on the rear of the unit; after a period of time it will feel hot to the touch. This is quite normal, and should be no cause for alarm.
Connecting to mains power The BS 286 may be connected to a mains power outlet which provides V AC, 50-60 Hz and at least 60 watts. The outlet should have a clean earth. Avoid using mains power outlets which also power dimmer controlled lighting equipment. The wires in the mains lead are color coded: green/yellow: Earth / safety ground blue: Neutral brown: Live In case the wires in the mains lead do not correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your mains plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is colored green/yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E, or by the ground symbol, or is colored green. 6.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION Should one of these conditions occur, the unit shuts down. Once the fault condition has been removed, the BS 286 resets automatically and full power is restored. An Aux input at the rear panel allows injecting external audio signals of line or mic level into the intercom lines. When mic level is selected, +30V phantom power is available at the Aux input connector. The wire which is colored blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or colored black. The wire which is colored brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or colored red. Safety Earth The green/yellow wire of the mains lead must always be connected to the electrical installation safety earth or ground. This is essential for personal safety as well as for proper operation of the BS 286 and the other connected stations. The green/yellow wire is in the BS 216 connected to all exposed metal surfaces. Any rack framework into which this unit might be mounted is assumed to be connected to the same grounding circuit.

The BS 286 is a dual channel power supply and can be used in an ASL intercom system. The unit is ideal for use in applications where standard microphone cable is available and ease of setup is of paramount importance. The unit can drive at least 10 beltpacks operating at full power. The dual channel power supply is fully protected against wiring mistakes (reverse power), short circuit or dangerous thermal condition.

Do not connect these screens to the metal housing of ASL unitst or XLR-3 wall boxes. See section Earthing Concept. Connect metal cable trunks, wall boxes and overall multi-pair cable screens to clean earth Metal cable trunks, metal wall boxes and overall multi-pair cable screens should be interconnected and, at the 'central earth point' in the intercom network only, be connected to a clean earth or a safety earth. (see section Earthing Concept). Keep metal connection boxes and cable trunks or pipes isolated from other metal parts Metal trunks or pipes for intercom cables and metal connection boxes should be mounted in such a way that they are isolated from any other metal housing or construction part.
