Question 1

Is this compatible with windows 7?

Accepted Answer

I am using it on a Windows 7 machine as I write this. Works great; plug & play. Though keep in mind that Windows 7 does not have a touch screen interface so the Asus VT207N will only function as a normal desktop monitor.

Question 2

Is this monitor Windows 7 compatible?

Accepted Answer

I BOUGHT THIS TOUCH SCREEN MONITOR FOR A WINDOWS 8.1 APPLICATION. It works fine.
For Win 7, I assume the OS would need to be capable of touch screen, but the monitor also works fine with a mouse.

Question 3

can this monitor be added to a laptop as a dual monitor?

Accepted Answer

I don't see why not. It has the standard VGA and DVI connections of a regular monitor. The touch screen capability is from a USB connection. If the laptop has an external DVI or VGA port I think it should work. For touch to work the USB from the monitor would need to be plugged into the laptop.

Question 4

Will the touch feature still work if I use the USB hookup and does it need any special software other then windows 8? Will it also lose the HD if I use the USB cable?

Accepted Answer

You actually use 2 cables for this monitor, the usb cable runs the touch screen and a separate video cable runs the display.  So you could run the monitor only using just the video cable, if you want touch screen ability, you need to add the usb cable. You do not need any extra software drivers, the touchscreen will work with windows 8.

Question 5

since it wont work on xp via usb will an dvi adapter be a usable work around?

Accepted Answer

Be sure to upgrade to at least Win 7.  The DVI adapter does not carry the data that flows through the usb connection. Meaning, the touch properties of the screen make it look like a keyboard to the computer.  Perhaps you could check to see if there is a device driver for Win XP for this device.

Question 6

does it have built in speakers?

Accepted Answer

No, unfortunately it does not.

Question 7

Can I still use a mouse, and does Asus make a larger screen size?

Accepted Answer

Not sure if larger sizes are available but yes, you can definitely still use a mouse and keyboard. You can also use multiple monitors and they don't have to both be touch screens. I have mine setup with a non-touch dell monitor and the asus touchscreen, with the desktop extended to both monitors. Hope this helps...

Question 8

is this compatible with windows xp?

Accepted Answer

No, it is NOT XP compatible.  There's only 1 brand that is and the support for that is going away next year....probably a good time to move up to Windows 7.

Question 9

I currently have two monitors and this will be my third monitor on the same PC. My question is if I make this monitor my primary is there a way to make my games play on other monitors?

Accepted Answer

There is always the option to run them in windowed mode instead of full screen, and then you can simply drag the game window to any screen you want.  You'll sacrifice a tiny bit of resolution and it will tax your system a bit more, but it's an option.  I'm unsure if running in full screen on anything other than your primary monitor is an accomplishable task.

Question 10

Is the screen surface gloss or mat finish?

Accepted Answer

gloss
