How keen are you on touchscreens? Keen enough to navigate Windows 7 while using such a monitor? Acer has a new one, the T230H, which will allow you to do exactly that. A big selling point is that it’ll increase your productivity, but I’m not so sure.
I mean, is it easier to use a touchscreen to navigate Excel, or flip about Firefox? You’ll still have a keyboard, I should think, so it’s not like the iPhone where you’re forced to get used to this radical, new interface; you have no other choice. Here, you’re split between touching the screen and typing away on a traditional keyboard.
But I’m still not the biggest fan of touchscreens yet, so my bias is palpable.
Anyhow, the specs:
• 16:9, 23-inch, 1920×1080 LCD.
• HDMI interface

• 2ms response time, which should placate the twitch gaming crowd
• 80,000:1 contrast ratio
And so on. Again, there’s got to be a market for these things, but I’m not so sure I’m a part of it.
