Touchscreen LCD monitors coming from Iiyama

Iiyama has announced that it is launching a new lineup of touchscreen LCD monitors for desktop PCs.

The lineup will include the ProLite T1530SR, the T1730SR, and the T1930SR, at 15, 17 and 19 inches respectively. All of the monitors connect through either VGA or DVI and support RS-232 and USB for the touchscreen interface.



The ProLites, which are compatible with Windows and Mac systems use a full screen 4:3 Aspect ratio and and come in either a black or white bezel.

The smaller model has a slow 16ms response time and a relatively low 1024x768 Resolution but the 17- and 19-inch versions have 5ms response, and a resolution of 1280x1024.

The 15-inch model will sell for £330 ($700 USD), £350 ($750 USD) for the 17-inch model, and £400 ($850 USD) for the 19-inch unit.

  What's the pint of touching a screen when a mouse after all these years is just fine? Having your arm extended to touch a screen seems it would cause strain on the back.

Everyone's going to put it on their desk right in front of them and use it like a really expensive monitor, right?

  Hehehe.
  
  No one buys touchscreens for private use. Touchscreens are for computer retarded consumers at grocery stores.

  Who wouldn't want to be able to control an army at the tip of their fingers? Or drop nukes at the push of a monitor? The future of monitors :).
