touch monitor

It works really well with Windows 7, as promised, and we really like how fun it is to use the touchscreen capabilities. That's my review.

Unbelievable in my rating

I've been using this touchscreen monitor for over a week now and it's amazing. Its function is equivalent or very close to that of the iPad. It's a little less sensitive, but not by much. My big question now is, will it prove durable over time?

Responds after calibration

I bought two monitors to work in a dual configuration. I've seen some reviews saying they had problems with wiping edges in Windows 8. I also experienced this when I first installed them; but after calibrating the screens everything works fine. The first calibration has touch/calibration points at the very edge of the screen (4 in each corner for touch) and it was difficult to accept touch points on the edges. After it was calibrated I did the calibration again and on the second try there were…

Now it works with Windows 8

I bought it for multi-display work to test the touchscreen as my primary monitor and it works great! UPDATE November 7, 2012 I just installed Windows 8 and this monitor does not have a Windows 8 driver on the manufacturer's website and it does not work as a touchscreen with Windows 8. Another update. I contacted customer service via live chat and they got back to me and fixed the issue. back to love

Great monitor - very satisfied

The monitor is easy to set up. Just plug in, plug in and turn on. Very bright and vivid screen. The size is excellent. I find it very easy to see more than one window at a time. The touch screen function works very well. The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't have a built-in camera.

Great touch monitor

I have one monitor as my primary display (for my dual display on my PC). The quality is razor sharp, the touchscreen works very well. On the negative side, the speaker volume isn't very loud, and secondly, the monitor doesn't have an HDMI input. Looking at the picture it looked like a VGA cable input, a DVI and a HDMI input (turned out to be USB). Also, with the beta drivers, I was able to run it in dual display mode on Windows XP. and the touch screen works great too. I used an EVGA GeForce…

return in my opinion

The touchscreen was not performing acceptably on my Windows 7 desktop, it is unresponsive and the bottom right corner seems to be a dead spot - when calibrated I get no response here. Maybe my desktop is just too slow, but it didn't work for me.

Used for touch screen kitchen computer

Love it. My wife was mad that I spent money on a special touch screen monitor for the kitchen and she uses it EVERY DAY and definitely loves having a computer in the kitchen. I would buy it again with great pleasure. The touchscreen's accuracy degrades a bit most of the time (even after a few attempts at calibration and cleaning), but it's close enough and still works very well. My daughter LOVES Microsoft Paint with this monitor. :Above)

better than a large touchscreen monitor

I bought this monitor expecting a bad experience based on the price. I knew it would be touchscreen, but I assumed it wouldn't be that great. I couldn't be more wrong. This monitor is the most accurate touchscreen I have ever used in my life. It's easy to set up and use with Windows 7 Ultimate. Just plug it into USB and you're good to go! It's also easy to turn off the touchscreen, if you have sensitive little kids like me, just unplug the USB and it becomes a regular monitor. I can't believe…

Good picture quality in my opinion

When my old flat screen started getting dusty, I figured I should get a touchscreen because Windows 8, which is touch-optimized, is coming out this fall, and I figured I'd kick myself if I *didn't* have touch Screen. This monitor was reasonably priced, had a decent resolution, and had good reviews, so I gave it a try. Picture quality is good, no complaints. The monitor itself looks great on the desktop. Touch works in Windows 7, but the precision of a thick finger isn't as accurate as a mouse…

Great monitor for "normal " touch applications.

. But not for anything that requires pixel-level precision. To do this, buy a Wacom tablet.* Duration of ownership/use: 3 years* Technical understanding of the devices used: VERY HIGH. I have many touchscreens on a variety of devices, and I carefully research the technology behind each monitor before I buy one.* How I use this monitor: As a complement to programs on it that use medium to large sized buttons. Things like task managers, web browsers, music players, remote control programs for the

Valid for Win8: my review

I actually set up two of these for multiple monitors in Win7 and Win8. Grandchildren enjoy playing with touch screens (Cut the Rope & Fruit Ninja). The displays are very bright and clear, allowing tablet development testing without a tablet PC.

Nice screen, nice hardware, great touch functionality (Windows 7)

We have a lot of these monitors at work. We use touch screens for interactive kiosks all the time. The touch capabilities of these monitors are among the best we've seen. Very sensitive. Works out of the box with Windows 7 with no need to install drivers or software. We didn't do any calibration or anything like that and didn't find any issues with the accuracy of the default settings. -Day. This one is fast, reactive, and requires little to no touch. The only issue I had is that when you click

Good looking and responsive - wish I could find that in a friend

It is very sensitive and responsive and has a nice display. When setting up, I had to call tech support, who responded quickly and spoke in perfect English. It was user error (I just had to reconnect the USB cable). This worked great for our custom application, which has very large on-screen buttons that can be clicked. It also generally works well with thinner applications. The touchscreen turns on a little slowly at startup. But otherwise the response is good. Remember that the only input is…

Works great - nicely built

We had booked a live political show in the studio at the last minute and I needed a touchscreen monitor to control some of the video switching functions. The planar was perfect. The excellent image appears to be fairly accurate in its touch abilities and feels good and solid. Love it.
