Here’s a nice surprise from Acer Malaysia – they’re making the new T230H multi-touch LCD monitor available for sale soon after its worldwide announcement back in October. Here’s a blurb from the product’s page on Acer Singapore – unsurprisingly, it’s not on the Malaysia website, nor is it on the US nor UK websites!
Presenting the Acer TouchScreen display – T230H is Acer’s first touch-activated display solution offering fantastic touch-enabled possibilities made available to you via Windows® 7. Free yourself from the PC mouse and increase productivity. The solid T230H is encased within a sleek and clean cut height adjustable design, enabling additional functional and comfort benefits to your work and media area. Images and Media comes alive, enabling full control and instant motion from your fingertip. The innovative T230H is easy to use and optimizes the speed of your scrolling, searching, and viewing of images. The large digital Widescreen delivers powerful graphic performance with Full HD resolution, fully compatible with the latest blu-ray devices, digital broadcasting and on line media. What are you waiting for? Join the next big wave in the PC display evolution!
Looking at the specifications below, I am guessing that you use the HDMI/VGA/DVI port to connect to your computer for the display, and use an additional USB cable to connect to your computer for the multi-touch gestures to “register”, which likely means the installation of an additional piece of software on your computer. And it apparently only supports Windows 7.
The price? A princely RM 919 for a 23 inch monitor! But at least it supports a variety of display input options, has built in speakers, has a 2ms grey-to-grey response time, which is considered pretty darned good for an LCD monitor, and it comes with 3 years warranty. I think with these “extras” the price is not too bad. I’ll try to get a hands-on the next time I’m in the Acer concept store in LowYat Plaza.
