For users who want a regular monitor,but still want to control Windows 8 using touch gestures,LG Electronics has introduced the Touch 10 monitor.
The last few months have seen the introduction of many all-in-ones,tablets and laptops that take advantage of Windows 8's more touch-friendly user interface,but LG thinks there is also room for regular monitors that can do the same.
The Touch 10 monitor allows users to take advantage of the touch-based user interface without having to upgrade their entire PC,according to LG.Just like on other Windows 8-compatible products all 10 fingers can be used simultaneously,allowing users to drag and rotate multiple items,it said.
The monitor also works with a capacitive stylus,which can be purchased separately.It has an In-Plane Switching(IPS)panel,and 1920-by-1080 pixel resolution.
The Touch 10 monitor will be available in Korea next month followed by markets in Europe and elsewhere.Pricing has yet to be announced.
Windows 8 was launched on Oct.26,and on Tuesday Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said it had sold 4 million m upgrades in three days.While U.K.retailer Dixons has reported that laptop sales were 20 percent ahead of the forecasted sales for the weekend,according to Ballmer.
