Dell trots out some new touchscreen monitors, prices start at $250
We hardly expect you to know Dell's monitor lineup inside-out, so here's a quick primer: Dell already sells this thing called the S2240T, a 21.5-inch display with full HD resolution and support for 10-point multi-touch. Well, today Dell's expanding the family by adding a 23-inch version (the P2314T) and a 27-inch one (the P2714T). Like that current monitor we told you about, they both have 1,920 x 1,080 touchscreens and a stand that allows the panel to lie at a near-flat 60-degree angle. The only hitch is that a bigger screen also equates to a bigger price: whereas the existing 21-inch model costs $350, the 23- and 27-inch versions are going for $450 and $700, respectively. If all of the above are too pricey, Dell also introduced a lower-end 20-inch monitor called the E2014T. That also has a touchscreen, but it only tilts 5 degrees forward and backward , and the resolution tops out at 1,600 x 900. You can find that now for $250 in North and Latin America, with Europe and Asia to follow on September 26th. Interested? You'll find some hands-on shots below, along with a few extra technical details in the press release after the break.
