Planar Helium PCT2785

The Planar Helium is a beautifully designed 27-inch touch-screen monitor featuring 20-point progressive capacitive touch, MVA panel technology and a nice selection of ports.

Excellent touch response. Solid color quality. Lots of ports.

Some touch wire interference. So-so grayscale performance. No USB 3.0.

No multi-gesture support out of the box on Ubuntu GNU/Linux.

Works well on Ubuntu 13.04

I bought this as a compliment to my Thinkpad W510 touch (dual/two finger touch) when I dock it at work. I used to have a non-touch LCD and everytime I would dock and just use the single screen I would get frustrated by lack of touch, it made for a very...

Single touch works out of box on Ubuntu (GNU/Linux) 13.05.

Dual touch, or the full 10 finger touch does not work out of box. I haven't figured out how to get it to work yet.
