Somehow I got the feeling that this shouldn’t be your typical desktop monitor. Viewsonic has just announced the VX2258wm, a 22-inch monitor that uses Infrared Optical Imaging to bring Windows-certified multitouch to your desktop. Let’s see, 1080p HD resolution, ClearMotiv II Technology, a 5ms response time, a dynamic contrast ratio of 100,000:1, and support for HBDP (High Bandwidth Digital Protection) Blu-ray devices. Sounds pretty standard for a desktop monitor, but would you hold your hand up high at your eye level to play multi-touch for hours? If you don’t mind then feel free to get it for fun, as its available now in Europe for £189 (roughly $300).
