Touch Screen Flat Monitor

A lot more people who own computers are throwing away their old monitors for the new touch screen flat monitor. There may be some software and compatibility issues between the new monitor and your computer. Be sure to thoroughly consult with a store specialist about these issues before buying the new monitor. Using a touch screen monitor doesn't require formal training. Just read the manual and you're good to go.

The best touch screen monitors are highly sensitive. A mere fingertip is enough in order for the computer to gather and process information in response to the touch of the finger. The new breed of touch screen monitors means just that. Touch anywhere where the icon or symbol is and it will open the corresponding file or application associated with the icon. These touch sensitive areas work all the way to the sides of the monitor. With the old touch screen monitor, a touch panel was attached to the front of the monitor.
Because new flat screen technology uses plasma or LCD, screen resolution or visual clarity is superior to the old cathode ray tube (CRT) monitor. If you happen to have a plasma monitor, you do not sacrifice viewing angles compared to an LCD where viewing clarity deteriorates the further you go to the side of the monitor.

 

Because the screen is flat, a 15" flat screen monitor has, in all actuality, a larger area for image projection than the normal 15" monitor. If you compare a 15" flat screen to a 17" ordinary screen, the image projection areas are almost the same. The screen itself is sturdy since it will have to endure pokes thousands of times. It is mounted on hard plastic casing that is normally strong enough to last for years without getting out of shape. The stand or base for the monitor is included in your purchase of a brand new flat screen monitor. You can forego tradition by mounting the monitor to the wall instead of mounting it on the base. This helps to save on tabletop space that you can use for other things.

 

Touch screen flat monitors should have scratch and vandal resistant surfaces. You can opt for an anti glare flat monitor to avoid straining your eyes when using the computer.
