Iiyama kicks out new ProLite touchscreen monitors

by Evan Blass posted Nov 23rd 2007 at 12:21PM

Despite their lack of mainstream appeal, touchscreen monitors are slowly making inroads onto Joe Public's desktop, and display specialist Iiyama is hoping to come along for the ride with its new line of ProLine models. Coming in 15- (T1530SR), 17- (T1730SR), and 19-inch (T1930SR) flavors, the latest ProLines feature 800:1 contrast ratios, either 280 or 240cd/m² brightness, 5ms or 16ms response times, and either 1,280 x 1,024 (T1930 and T1730) or 1,024 x 768 (T1530) resolutions. Available immediately, the monitors range from £329 ($677) to £399 ($821) depending on size.

Stop eating fried chicken and french fries while working at your computer. It could go a long way to stop all of those fingerprints on the monitor. I still have one question. Why do you need to touch the screen at all? If you need to point out something to your friends, then use a pencil or some other pointing device.

I'm guessing they are aimed at places where desktop space is a premium, like shop counters and such.

I've been waiting for years for touch screens to come down in price. For average desktop use, I probably wouldn't use a touch screen, but for a slick remote connected to your media center, a touch screen would be amazing. All you Slimdevices Slimbox owners out there know exactly what I'm craving.

Still though, until it hits the $200-$300 range, I can't justify it for such a luxury purpose.
