Eizo Brings Multitouch On 17″ FlexScan T1751 LCD

It may not be the most beautiful of the bunch, but Eizo’s new monitor can do something that your sleek, slick LCD probably can’t: accept touch inputs. Eizo is best known for creating higher-end, professional monitors that are used for very specific applications, and this new FlexScan T1751 is no different. The unit offers multitouch capabilities through Windows 7 for an intuitive way to use applications with two fingers on the screen by tapping, scrolling, dragging, pinching, etc.

The screen is only the second multitouch monitor from Eizo, and the smaller size of this one makes it way more flexible. It’s primarily designed for use in schools and businesses, or in places where a 5:4 aspect ratio is needed. These days, it’s hard to find any aspect ratio aside from 16:9 widescreen, so again, flexibility is key.

Albatron to release 21.5-inch multi-touch module for widescreen LCDs

To help people embrace the touch trend Albatron has constructed and will release the EM215, a scratch-resistant multi-touch module that can be attached to widescreen LCD monitors of up to 21.5 inches in diagonal.

The upcoming module has an optical touch structure and supports both finger and pen input, is covered with tempered glass, can be installed without tools (and in just one minute apparently), and consumes under 1W during normal operation.

Albatron will be showcasing the EM215 at Computex next month but it’s yet uncertain when the touch-enabling module will be available.

Samsung unveils 23-inch U250 and 20-inch U200 multitouch all-in-one PCs

Eager for more of Samsung‘s outlay? Good. Officially unveiled today over in the UK, the company’s new 23-inch U250 and 20-inch U200 all-in-one PCs are going where loads of AIO machines already have: the multitouch galaxy. The former offers up a full 1080p resolution, while the latter steps down to 1,600 x 900; both of ’em ship with Windows 7 Home Premium, and the company would have you know that these two mark its “first venture into the home PC market in the UK.” Regrettably, the excitement was tempered by the lack of a real specification sheet, but we’re told they’ll ship later this month for those who couldn’t care less about nuts, bolts, gigahertz and megabytes.
