846136 2010-01-05 22:26:00 Want to shout myself a new monitor. Not too concerned about price – well within reason……..
Are touch screen monitors worth considering – if so where from?
Built in camera? Laptops have them – so why not PC monitors?!
Appreciate any comments – thanks

846142 2010-01-06 03:50:00 There's some place in Oz, where you can buy touchscreen overlay kits. But you'll have to pull the monitor apart to install it. It maybe cheaper, but then whether the monitor will go after, is another matter Speedy Gonzales (78)

For a decent sized one, you are probably best to go with HPs touchsmart computer, which is an all in one PC/monitor, and isn't badly priced. Which laptops have them? Most of the laptop ones require a stylus.
