patseguin Global Moderator Posted January 21, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted January 21, 2015 I have both a 1920 touch monitor and a 2560 non touch and was just wondering which you guys would choose. The 1920 is obviously nice for touch but the 2560 resolution is so much sharper. Especially with Windows 10 on the horizon, would you guys choose the touch or non touch display?

Mindovermaster Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Depends what you do with it. Watching movies? Playing games? Just email/web? +E.Worm Jimmy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patseguin Global Moderator Posted January 21, 2015 Author Global Moderator Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yeah mainly gaming, email, web surfing, YouTube, stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttus Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 a regular desktop monitor? high res non-touch would be my choice +E.Worm Jimmy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aergan Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Depends if the display panel is going to be in reach of your hands. No point of having a touch enabled device that's out of your reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+E.Worm Jimmy Subscriber¹ Posted January 21, 2015 Subscriber¹ Share Posted January 21, 2015 if it is 24" and under - get the touch, but only if you need touch (touch is usually glossy though, so you cannot use it in a bright room with light source at the back) (also , i never used touch on desktop - no need) if it is 25+ inch - get the high res. 1080 no longer look nice.

FiB3R Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 1440 You actually have both already, why do you care what any of us would prefer? Just asking Which do you like best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JHBrown Subscriber¹ Posted January 21, 2015 Subscriber¹ Share Posted January 21, 2015 Non-touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeridionix Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 2560x1440 - touch screens are a gimmick on anything other than a phone or tablet in my opinion, it's not the greatest user experience... this might change with Windows 10 but I think you'd appreciate the space of the higher resolution display anyways. goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie33 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Having recently upgraded to a 2560 resolution monitor, I vote for the 2560 non touch as well. goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUTZIFER Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Mine is a 3200x1800 touchscreen. But I don't ever touch my screen. I like my touchpad much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anibal P Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Non touch, no need for it yet on desktops, other then some random games in the Windows Store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick H. Supervisor Posted January 21, 2015 Supervisor Share Posted January 21, 2015 Non-touch. Touch can remain limited to smartphones. But that's me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosense Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 If you game a lot and play twitch shooters\racing games. An 1080p 144hz g sync at a lower MS, might be a better option than 1440p Monitor. Don't think there's many 120hz 1440p monitors. But if you don't care about that, go with 1440p.

francescob Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I have a 27'' touchscreen AiO, all I use the touchscreen for is for quicker shutdown. Gestures like closing apps take way too long not to mention the digitizers they use are often garbage. Manufacturers are so-much-into-it that when I reboot the machine the touchscreen stops working and they never fixed that, they likely didn't even notice because none of them bothers adding features that work. Anyway if it's for gaming I'd wait for a decent 4K monitor since you can either play in 4K or just Full HD on it without jagged scaling (since full hd is exactly 1/4 of 4K resolution), with 2560x1440 instead you're stuck between 2560 or 1280.

majortom1981 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Depends on where the pc is. I got a 24 inch 1920 x 1080p touch monitor . My pc is in my living room and the touch makes it easy for me to do things like check mail and quick websites while standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odom Member Posted January 23, 2015 Member Share Posted January 23, 2015 +1 for Non-touch My personal opinion, obviously. I cannot stand fingerprints on a monitor. Smartphone or tablet is OK, that's how it goes, but a monitor I game and work on, I'd go crazy with fingerprints on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456789A Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Neither, get a Hololens. But really if you must, get the high res. Touch is best for things you will move around with (tablets, phones) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason S. Global Moderator Posted January 23, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted January 23, 2015 higher res non-touch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
