This review is from: PLANAR PX2230MW(997-5983-00) 21.5" USB Optical Optical FHD WideScreen Multi-Touch LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 1000:1 Built-in Speakers
Pros:
This is an outstanding monitor for the price! The touch is very responsive and works perfectly with Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows 8 Release Preview- no setup or drivers to install. It comes with a stylus and has both VGA and DVI. The full-HD has outstanding detail and clarity! The 5ms response time is perfect for gaming. Lastly, the screen is a hard plastic, not a matte, so it is very hard to scratch. With the various things I've used as a stylus, it still looks good as new!
Cons:
It doesn't track two points simultaneously as well as a capacitive touch screen, but most people probably won't even notice the difference. It does well enough for pinch-to-zoom and what not. Also, I run mirrored monitors with this and my HDTV so I can watch movies, and the color/contrast looks slightly better on my TV than the touch screen. This is probably to be expected, and the Planar still looks better than most monitors I work with. Lastly, I wish it was brighter.
Overall Review:
I'm probably just being too picky with the cons, the brightness is the only thing that ever bothers me (especially in Minecraft). I love this monitor, and I may buy a second one for college. The touch screen completes my gaming PC and my friends love it. One of them even went and bought the same model after playing with mine. In fact, I decided to buy mine after playing with the one my teacher bought for the classroom (same model). I guess it is viral, haha. I love using it with Photoshop, and it has allowed me to truly experience Windows 8. Buy this monitor, and I guarantee you will never look back.
