This Monitors give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Good desktop monitor for Windows 8
Bought this to go with an Asus desktop running Win 8. I didn't want an all-in-one Touch system like the Dell XPS 27 inch which includes a higher resolution monitor than this one. Wanted to build my own desktop and wanted a lower cost alternative. The monitor has the several inputs (HDMI,VGA, audio, mic, USB hub, built-in full HD web cam with microphone). It is full HD (1920 x 1080) with a 60hz refresh rate. The refresh rate has trouble keeping up when using the touch screen for scrolling (lots of blurring during the scrolling) but otherwise a crystal clear picture with high touch sensitivity. Great for regular desktop work and viewing Blu-ray movies (not so good for standard def movies). By the way, Great customer support from Planar. Was able to quickly resolve a touch screen activation issue. They were easy to get a hold of and very courteous.

OK for Windows 8
Pros:

- works with Windows 8 touch interface
- very big monitor, makes people jealous!
- DisplayPort connector
- wall-mount compatible
- includes USB and HDMI cables

Cons:

- glossy surface with high glare
- mediocre dot pitch
- very big monitor, need very long arms to use touch
- No DVI connector, and VGA connection looks bad. Use DisplayPort.
- doesn't come with DisplayPort cable
- camera doesn't point the right way unless you wall-mount it
- Included stylus does not work. Fingers required.

Neutral or haven't tried:

- HDMI connector
- audio

The ideal use for this monitor would seem to be video-based apps, such as a kiosk display with touch features. It's really not great for a main desktop Windows monitor. The pixels are borderline too big, so you'll want to move the monitor further away, putting it out of comfortable range for touch.
