Hi guys, just wondering is it worth buying touch screen monitor. I know they look good as a business gadget or may be good for some gamers. But is it good for day to day computing. Personally I don’t feel we’ll use touch screen function much. What about monitors with built in TV tuner. Don’t you think they are expensive for an added feature? And system with a TV tuner card: is it cheap solution compared to monitors with built in TV tuner? And what about monitors in general: which one you reckon got current specifications and gives value for money and what size you personally reckon is good for a home pc. Your general views about monitors???

Currently I have chosen Asus MS238H for my new rig. I need true 1920x1080 resolution in the end with better contrast ratio, minimum response time and HDMI input. Is it a good choice? Or I am wasting my money when my budget is very limited?

Have your say……
