GREAT product in my opinion

I reviewed their 24 inch product in detail. It's the same product but bigger. I can only imagine that it is just as good as its smaller brother but with more surface area.

High quality screen makes work easier

Admittedly I'm not very tech savvy but I can say that this (as my second screen) was a game changer! Working with the large, clear touchscreen is much easier. It was easy to set up. Highly recommended.

Does not accept HDMI

Bought for laptop use. The only video input on all new laptops is HDMI. Was so disappointed. The only thing I could do was put it back in the box and return it.

Good buy: my rating

I added this monitor to my DJ setup, it's bright, picture quality isn't the best but will be fine for most. Has a slight lag in touch response, but it's minimal at best. Have fun shopping!

Touchscreen works: my review

Just remember that you need an extra plug from the monitor to your computer's USB port for the touchscreen to work. Not everything suits.

I like this touch screen

I love this touch screen. I compared to Acer and chose Planar and am more than happy with it. It looks great, has great resolution, is very portable for meetings (I bought a $54 Roccat Tusco carrying case for it), and the touchscreen capabilities are fantastic. Buying through Revain is the best savings.

Short lifespan, not worth the money.

I cannot recommend this product as the screen life is not long enough to justify the price, at least in my experience. The screen started to darken at the edges, then got closer to the center, eventually going completely black. After the reboot, the whole process starts over. Of course, that wasn't always the case, otherwise we would have returned it immediately. This worked for a while, maybe 6 months or so. Sometimes everything seems fine, but most of the time the screen is just black. It's…

Oooh, I just wanna touch it!

Good touchscreen all round. The touchscreen is very responsive, works well with a stylus and the image quality is very good. The reflective screen is tolerable, but can be a bit annoying in almost flat working angles (light reflections!). Very stable in all corner configurations and the rigidity of the stand is very welcome when interacting with the screen.

Not very suitable for writing

I use my monitor as a mini whiteboard. It's just not comfortable to write on. It's probably better for something simple like touching buttons. I use an Adonis Pro stylus for writing because the included stylus is terrible for me; I don't like foam pens. This monitor is bad at recognizing fine and detailed input. I write pretty small on paper and this monitor sees it as very streaky and messy strokes. In order to make anything remotely legible, I have to write very large letters in a diary…

Color and resolution are excellent. Touchscreen functions are accurate

It was purchased to be used as a monitor in our church lobby. That's exactly what we need. Color and resolution are excellent. The touch screen functions are precise. So far couldn't be happier with it.

Not what I wanted/expected.

HD resolution on a 27 inch screen was not a good idea. (Large pixels.) As expected. The touch screen is not pressure sensitive! It's no better than having a mouse for art programs like GIMP. Suddenly. The only shipping option costs about $150. I can't help it, I guess. The on-screen keyboard is smooth.

I have no doubts about the monitor, especially the touch aspect for Windows 8. I like the size and brightness of the screen. There are also many contact points. Buy A-1!

Received a defective item

This is my second purchase of this monitor in less than a month. Both times the monitor arrived with fingerprints and grease marks on the screen. Naturally. This is disappointing as I paid full price for an unused product. However, I can't say anything about the durability since I'm using the replacement monitor for the first time today.

I need 2 more of these!

I bought this screen a while back and I love such a responsive touch screen for my computer. I have a great design, it's thinner than I expected and works well with my adjustable wall mount. Touch input is the most accurate I've experienced on a touch device, making it perfect for creating texture files for 3D models in Photoshop.

Simply disappointing

In order not to be superfluous with other reviews, I will give you an "added value" rating of this product. I bought this as an upgrade as I develop e-learning courses and create animations for them. Basically, it's not worth the money, but here are the pros and cons: PROS - Screen size and touch navigation are great, except when expanding with another monitor, you have to hover your mouse cursor over the middle of the screen to be in able to switch to another monitor. - It can be folded or…

It took a whole 6 months, wow.

I expected the monitor to last at least a year, but 6 months? Yesterday the monitor started crackling and there was only snow on the screen, turned it off and didn't get clear for hours but then the crackling and snowing started again. Not good.

Clean and bright and appealing cheesy sound.

Clean, bright and responsive, but crappy sound. The built-in webcam is also a bit lame and can't adjust the angle, which can be frustrating. Better pen support would be nice.

Planar meets all my expectations

I bought this touchscreen as an upgrade for my personal studio. It is ideal as a mixer for audio production. I've been using it for a few weeks and it's a great addition to improve my recording, mixing and mastering workflow. I would recommend and definitely buy again. Hats off to the Planar team.
