ViewSonic TD2230 22 Inch 1080p 10-Point Multi Touch Screen IPS Monitor with HDMI and DisplayPort

Pros: Fast and responds quickly to the touch. Nice clear picture very sharp images.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Very Happy with it

Pros: Decent monitor, at least average display
Touch capable

> Because this monitor is optical, it is way cheaper than capacitive monitors, and works very similarly. It is a durable and versatile monitor that is a great choice for anyone new to touch input. It works perfectly with navigating Windows 8's start screen and plays solitaire like a champ. Just remember to clear a space to put it in arms reach, I made the mistake of putting it where my old monitor rested... A full arms reach away from where I sit.

> The optical touch technology allows for basically anything to trigger a touch, unlike a capacitive screen. You can use a sock, a pencil (not well advised), your tounge (also not well advised, not unless it's clean anyways). Anything that approaches the screen that is too small, however, won't be registered by the optics unless it's near the center.
I opted for an old thin glow stick as my sort of "magic wand", since it is thick enough to touch on all parts of the screen and the smooth plastic gives little friction.

Cons: Optical touch
Large bezel
Soft keys on bezel

> My main complaint comes from the large bezel, I assume also a result of it being optical. Using Windows 8 is a real hassle because I can't use the corners or swipe from the sides very easily.

> It is also a tad inaccurate around the edges, and very much so on the top, not helping the fact I can't even get my finger immediately close enough to them. It is very difficult to close tabs in my web browser this way.

> The soft keys can be troublesome when the screen is in use by a friend or younger relative who aren't so nimble with their hands. A glance of the finger and the OSD appears.

> As I stated above, optical makes the touch input versatile, but it can also be a nightmare. Every once in a while, a wee little bug wanders into my room looking for some warmth, and lands on my screen. Suddenly, clicks ahoy! The bug is small enough it seems to start clicking multiple times around where it lands on the screen, effectively messing up anything I'm doing.

Overall Review: After owning this for six months, I am pleased with the display but very disappointed in its performance as a touch screen. As an optical display, I can understand it only having two finger touch though (or 1.5 finger as I like to call it, because using two fingers for more than pinching doesn't always work right).

There is an oddity in the bezel but I don't know the internals so I can't say for sure if it causes any issues (or if it's specific to my monitor or not). There is a gap between the screen and the bezel obviously where the optical sensors go, but it isn't even all around. the plastic is flush with the inside of the bezel on the left and right sides, but it seems to drop off into the bezel on the bottom's right, the right side's top, and there is no plastic in the top at all.
