I bought this monitor to see how it would work with a couple of applications I use. I played with the iPad before and had set it up to use remote desktop services to access my Windows desktop. The iPad was too small to properly utilize the programs so I thought a larger touchscreen might work well.. What I found is that when using a touchscreen on a smart phone or an iPad that you are basically holding in your lap works well however, when you are using a touchscreen monitor, that is on the desk or the wall, there is a tremendous amount of our movement of your arm when compared to simply using a mouse. After working with it for a few days I realized it would not meet my needs so I returned it. It does function very well but, for a stationary display, but for utilizing standard Windows programs and keyboard input, a mouse seems to be a more efficient input method. JMHO
