Hi everyone,
Last week I purchased a new Windows 8 Pro computer. This replaced my nine year old XP system and so it's great to be on the current Windows release.
I deliberately did not buy a monitor because of the uncertainty regarding "touch".
My current monitor is a 17" CRT screen, it's served me well but I'd like to replace this with something like a 27" LED widescreen.
What are your thoughts on screens for Windows 8? Will touch screens ever become mainstream for the Windows desktop market? Should I buy a normal non touch monitor or wait for the technology to develop?
I'm not convinced about using touch in Windows 8 in desktop computers, but I'm conscious that so much of the OS is designed for tapping. Clearly this is in part aimed at tablets, but will it take off for desktops?
Your thoughts and advice will be much appreciated.
