Beyond the fact there are touchscreen monitors for W7, the next questions are put to the maker/seller of the model you are considering.
Can I buy a touchscreen monitor to use with my windows 7 desktop pc?
Will any touchscreen monitor work? I know Windows 7 wasn't designed with touchscreen in mind but I only need the touchscreen for a specific piece of software which does work on Windows 7 and is designed for touchscreen.
I've read about the varying number of "touch-sensitive points" on different monitors - will windows 7 support any number?
Changing the OS isn't an option as the primary use for the pc is with a piece of software that only supports Windows 7.
Any advice would be gratefully accepted.
Thanks
