Planar Helium PCT2235 Touch Screen 22" LED LCD Full HD Resolution Monitor with Helium Stand,black

I regularly have meetings in my office. The problem with a standard desktop setup is that traditional monitors are large, bulky and completely block the view of people you interface with for meetings and sit-downs. I have been looking for a monitor that can be adjusted to lay flat when someone comes to sit across from me. The Planar Helium 22" screen is the solution I've been looking for.Functionality: The monitor is easily adjusted from the back lays down as I need it to. No fuss and is fast to adjust. The Helium stand retracts back up on its own when you adjust it to a proper viewing angle for work. I will most likely rarely use it in a flat position, but it's there if I need it. I have a 55" tv in my office that I often use to present work related material to my staff and clients, and being able to use this combination works perfectly for my needs. I absolutely love it.Touch Screen: A bonus is the touch screen. It's super responsive and easy to use. Very much like a tablet. I have yet to experience any delay or unresponsiveness when pressing on the screen. Also, it's accurate. I didn't buy this monitor for the touch panel functionality, but I can see how this will be beneficial moving forward.Screen Quality: I do a mix of work. Lots of the usual email reading, Microsoft Office work as well as graphic design, photography and video work. The colors and crispness of the monitor are excellent. Text is sharp and vivid as are the colors. The screen is reflective, not matte. I don't have too much light in my office so reflective light is not an issue for me. Plus, glossy screens add punch and contrast which is what I like. Very much like Apple laptops and iMacs. Also, the screen is bright. Out of the box, the screen is more on the blue side but is easily adjusted using the in-menu Blue Light Reducer options. Works like a charm. Another thing to note is the bezel. It's very thin which makes gives me a large viewing area without the excessive bezel size. The equates to a smaller footprint and takes up very little space on my desk. I really like that.Cons: the panel does not have 100% even light near the edges. This is common in many monitors. Although not very noticeable, this may be a deal breaker for folks needing to have a very accurate monitor for design and creative work. Also, the panel has limited viewing angles from the sides, but the viewing angles from the top and bottom are fine, which is good since this is a tiltable monitor and is intended to be viewed from a flat and upright position.All in all, a very good monitor that fits my needs and recommend it to anyone needing a laptop with that can lay flat when needed and takes up very little space on the desk. Please see the attached photos for my setup and how I use it.

It's a crisp display with reliable touch and solid build. The colors are good and it has a nice wide viewing angle.When unlocked, it's easy to inadvertently activate the screen's menu control and power buttons at the lower right of the screen. Fortunately these can be locked so that this is not a problem.As of Sept 1, 2019, Pi 4 with the default Raspbian required a small configuration tweak to get the touchscreen to work well. (Append 'usbhid.mousepoll=0' as a boot parameter in /boot/cmdline.txt. This also fixed a problem with another mouse. Other linux setups may or may not require something similar.) With that change, the touch screen works perfectly in chromium browser and other apps that expect multitouch input. It also works fine with non-multitouch apps (though I haven't yet figured how to turn on right mouse button emulation for those apps).Overall, this makes a very nice desktop monitor. It's not super portable because it can't easily be powered by a battery (it requires AC), and it's also a little heavy. But it's a good desktop touch screen. I recommend it and may buy a second one.

Bought this screen to create a Touch PC, combined with a 150 dollar mini PC that mounts on the back. Now have a full all-in-one Windows 10 machine with excellent touch capability. Speakers are sufficient although might not be loud enough to hear Netflix from across the room. The only complaint I have is the monitor control buttons are also capacitive and, aside from the power one, don't light up. It makes changing the settings without a flashlight to make out the labels somewhat bothersome. Still a great buy for the price and functionality, and bonus unobtrusive look. Fun to pair with LCARS 47 and eDex-UI!

Good Quality touchscreen monitor and sleek look. Major downside is that it has touch sensitive buttons. Why does any manufacturer think that touch sensitive buttons on the face of a touchscreen monitor that is made so you can touch it is a good idea. We constantly touch the menu or power buttons accidentally due to their placement. Very poor location for such sensitive buttons. Also built in speakers are extremely under powered.Build quality is good other than the terrible touch sensitive buttons. Picture quality is also great, and the touchscreen works perfectly fine with Windows 10 and the latest version of Android, we use this monitor for our bagging station at our restaurant powered by an Android based mini computer running our KDS software (Fresh KDS - compatible with Square POS) It was a low-cost solution for us, and meets our needs.

I ordered the Planar PCT2235 22-inch touchscreen monitor that features projected capacitive touch technology and registers up to 10 simultaneous touch points. I researched for quite some time and had my husband's helped as well. The monitor is fast and responsive and tilts easily. It works well with our Windows 10 and the setup was a cinch. The screen looks consistent throughout and it did not require calibration.The reason why I was highly interested in this Planar was because of the three-year warranty and 2-day replacement guarantee. The two-day replacement was tested because of an issue with the first shipment. That guarantee attached with this monitor is accurate. The screen is crisp and nice to look at. Overall, based on our experience we would not hesitate to order again and are happy about the monitor.
