I have installed windows 8 developer preview in my system and I will be getting windows 8 as soon as it gets released. Currently I am planning to get a touchscreen monitor as well, one which will be fully compatible with windows 8. I have gone through some touchscreen monitors but I am not sure if the same will work fine with windows 8 or not. Can anyone suggest some good ones so that I can check them out and get the best out of my choice?? :ohyeah:
I am having “HP All-in-One and TouchSmart PC” I have been using it with windows 7 but have not yet tried out windows 8 on the same. I am quite sure that it will be compatible with windows 8 as well and will work like a charm. I think that the touchscreen monitor that works fine with windows 7 will surely work fine with windows 8. HP All-in-One and TouchSmart PC is one of the best touchscreen monitor I have ever come across. I don’t think you will get any other better option that this as far as its price and the specs it delivers is concerned.
Yes I agree to you on that point that touchscreen monitor that are compatible with windows 7 will be compatible with windows 8 as well. In my case I am having Sony VAIO L Series Desktop and trust me it works great. I have tried using windows 8 developer preview with it and I did not had any single issue with it but currently I am using windows 7 and I am waiting for windows 8 too.
You can go through a short specification of VAIO L Series Desktop to get a better idea of it.
- 24" (diag.) 2D or 3D Full HD touchscreen display
- TV tuner with remote control
- HDMI input and output
- Preloaded Imagination Studio VAIO Edition
I am having a “HP Compaq L2105tm 21.5-inch Widescreen LCD Touchscreen Monitor” you can get it for $279.00 and it is quite compatible with windows 8. I have used 8 developer previews on the same for about a month and it worked great. I think it is one of the best choice when I comes to Touchscreen Monitors:

Even dell is having some good touchscreen monitor, I am really impressed with Dell ST2220T 21.5-inch Multi-Touch Full HD Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor. I am not having it neither I have used widows 8 on the same but I am quite sure that it will work great with it. I Think it Is costlier than the ones already mentioned here but it’s really worth paying $329.99. Even I am willing to get the same after windows 8 gets released. Its specification and feature list is quite big so I am just highlighting the specs that can help you comparing it with other touchscreen monitor and make your best choice.
