Like the title hints, i am wondering if OCUK will be stocking some touchscreen monitors at (reasonable prices) ready for Windows 8.

EDIT: The only one i can find that i would consider reasonable price (on a different site) is the DELL ST2220T but its small and has a crappy refresh rate and everything else to go with it seems a bit poo tbh.

Yes, because choice is always a bad thing?

I wouldn't mind one myself. Maybe on a smaller 2nd monitor.
 
Seems like the hardware OEMs prefer to make all in ones similar to a tablet for the touchscreen capabilities of Windows 8. The refreshrate on the Dell isn't mweh btw, it's as a good as it gets with an IPS-panel.
You don't want a vertical monitor for touch, your arms will hurt after a couple of minutes if you attempt to use it like that. If you wanna lay it down flat(ter) than you have to use an IPS panel as the TN-panels will show a really poor picture under extreme angles.

Wireless touch screen attached to the arm of my chair. Were getting on to some serious trekkie stuff here!

I guess so but then whats the point of getting rid of the start button and going all "metro" or whatever they call it now??? i thought the whole idea of the change was to be all touchy feely with the pretty little squares.
Ill be sticking to Windows 7 then for the time being.

Or am i missing something?????
 
I think it's supposed to be aimed at devices like the ones below and the real tablets.

Personally I don't see why anyone would want one, but hey I said that about the iPad as well.. Apple sure showed me.
