I don't personaly know about this monitor...but I can tell you that we have touch screens at work and I hate them lol the smaller touchscreen the better but still..imo the touchscreen will fade out unless its improved a lot...most surfaces right now havto be cleaned a lot..ALOT or it gets yucky which is a given but it becomes a pain ater a short use just to drag your finger etc.
Also the environment it sits in makes a huge difference such a colder cliemt etc makes for easier use of the touchscreen.
Overall I enjoy 1440p lps/ips much more than any touch

YEP. I can't believe I wasn't even thinking about that when I posted above. The android phone and 3ds I have I practically bathe in rubbing alcohol daily. I even remember growing up I'd drive my dad bat**** for touching the monitor as a kid- and now it drives me nuts.
I guess I was just curious as to if the monitors now are on par with the tablets and whatnot while also being decent monitors, but I'd think I rather just pick up something that just looks good instead.

Here's their page on it:

What does anyone make of it though? I like 22 inch monitors and I like Viewsonics so I'm considering it. But I wonder if it's touch abilities would be used much on a desktop PC while also wondering how decent the rest of the specs are. Obviously this is no 120hz gaming built sort of monitor, but neither are any of my others.
