Description
The SC77 Touch from Samsung should help with the ergonomics of using a touch screen on the desktop. It's multi-touch and it folds down to an angle where it won't be as fatiguing to use as a completely upright monitor. Day 3 - video 8
Linus Tech Tips covers Samsung's SC77 Touch, a 24 or 27 inch LED TN panel touchscreen monitor designed for desktop ergonomics with a 60 degree tilt. The host explains the rationale for a tilting touchscreen on a desk, noting that lowering the monitor reduces arm fatigue and can improve comfort when using on-screen keyboards or Windows 8 navigation. He demonstrates the 10-point touch capability and walks through the built-in demo, including a puzzle that showcases how the touch surface responds across the display. The SC77 Touch includes two HDMI inputs and a USB 3.0 port for the touchscreen interface, with built-in stereo speakers and a bezel that subtly moves closer to the user to aid usability. He compares viewing angles to other displays, highlighting better side viewing results for a TN panel in this category, and points out practical details like the on-screen keyboard usability and the quick-access touch controls. The video emphasizes the value proposition for touch-enabled desktop setups and suggests that tilting screens could become a larger trend, while also noting potential costs and practical considerations such as fingerprint maintenance. The segment ends with a reminder to subscribe for more CES 2013 coverage and a recap of the product features shown in the booth demonstration.
