Windows 7 Touchscreen Monitor

Hi All,
Looking for a bit of help here, trying to buy a Touchscreen monitor for my step dad's computer (Xmas Present). He's got a tower computer and has just put on windows 7. I know it supports touchscreens and thought it'd be a cool present, however.

I know sweer FA about what would be a suitable model. Looking to spend about £300-400. Can anyone point me in the direction of something compatible?

Many thanks

I think you'll struggle to find a reasonable monitor for that price,
have a look here: Touch screen LCD monitors - Computer, video and touchscreen

Thumbs down

touchscreens are incredibly annoying and causative of upper shoulder, neck, and arm strain.

They are best intended for casual and intermittent use with frequent breaks, i.e at a kiosk or restaurant point of sale terminal (one minute usage every 5 minutes)

The last thing I want is a touchscreen monitor. I have enough trouble keeping Mrs Wader's fingers off the screen as it is. Next screen I get will have a hard glass front!

Check out the Acer T230H. It supports multitouch.
