It’s amazing how quickly you can become accustomed to a touchscreen user interface. If you’re using Windows 8, you’ve no doubt reflexively reached out and swiped your finger across your desktop monitor at least once—likely with no effect, since it’s probably not a touchscreen.
Fortunately, affordable touchscreen displays are finally making their way into the market. I recently spent some time with two such models: the Dell P2314T Touch Monitor and the Samsung S24C770T 10-point Touch Monitor. One is definitely better than the other.

The Dell P2314T is a 23-inch display based on an IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel, and the Samsung S24C770T is a 24-inch model based on MVA (Multi-domain Vertical Alignment) technology. Both use LED backlights and deliver a native resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels with ten touch points.
Both monitors are mounted to easily adjustable stands that can hold the display upright, like a standard monitor, or reclined at a low angle that’s easier on the arms when you’re using the touch features. Neither stand requires you to push any buttons to adjust the angle: You simply push or pull the screen into the angle that works best for you. Despite that flexibility, both stands feel sturdy and solid on a desk.
