Comment on Dell ST2220T 22-Inch Screen LED-lit Monitor by Alexis Rios.
Awesome monitor, very responsive, works with Windows 8 RTM,
Because I have a MSDN Subscription I was able to download the Windows 8 RTM that will ship on Oct 26, 2012 now in August. I wanted to have a touch screen for my desktop PC, so I can use all the Windows 8 features the way they are supposed to be. I got this monitor from another local retailer, and even though I was a bit worried first, as soon as I hooked it to my PC (Acer), it started working flawlessly. It is very responsive like any good tablet or smartphone. You need to learn the gestures for Windows 8 but they work easily. Only minor thing is the monitor has a bevel, so your finger must touch either the right or left of the screen inside of the bevel and swipe quickly from right to left to open the Charms bar. And from left to right to switch apps, or left to right to left quickly to open the application bar. After two or three minutes you get it, and then it is very easy. Without the bevel as a tablet it would be even simpler, but anyway this monitor is very responsive. It looks like the RTM version took in consideration that some monitors have a bevel (I mean frame) that is a bit higher than the actual screen surface, so there is an automatic offset to compensate. Good job Microsoft.
It works flawlessly, no driver needs to be installed, as soon as it is connected it starts working. Creates a fresh, great experience for the desktop user. So if you need a good but not so expensive touch screen monitor, this is a great choice. Highly recommended (5 stars)
