Benefits of Using a Touchscreen Monitor

Touchscreen computer monitors are still relatively new. They’ve technically been around for over a decade, although they’ve just recently gained mainstream popularity. If you’re still on the fence, keep reading to learn some of the benefits associated with touchscreen computer monitors.

Doesn’t Require Batteries or a USB Port

Traditional mechanical keyboards typically require either batteries or a USB port on the computer to function. If the keyboard is wireless, it probably uses batteries. If it’s wired, it needs a USB port. Assuming you have a touchscreen monitor, though, you won’t need either of these.

Optimized for Windows

Microsoft has optimized its Windows operating system specifically for use with touchscreen devices. So if you plan on using Windows, either 8 or 10, you should consider investing in a touchscreen monitor. You’ll be able to perform commands faster and more easily thanks to the system’s optimized design.

Speed

Of course, touchscreen monitors will allow you to perform commands more quickly than a traditional mechanical keyboard. You can literally just tap the screen to open an app or program. In comparison, you would have to move your mouse cursor over to the app and then click it to open. The increased speed alone is reason enough for many individuals, and organizations, to choose touchscreen monitors over non-touchscreen monitors. Long story short, touchscreen monitors encourage faster input over their keyboard counterpart.

More Compact

Because they don’t need a separate keyboard to function (although it helps), touchscreen monitors tend to be smaller and more compact. As such, you can fit them into small areas, such as a small desk or table. If you’re working with a limited amount of space, consider using a touchscreen monitor for this reason.

Increased Satisfaction

There’s just something “fun” associated with touchscreens, and touchscreen monitors are no exception. Whether you’re browsing the Internet, opening apps or even playing games, using a touchscreen makes the process just a little more enjoyable.

Hybrid Tablet/Laptop

Many touchscreen computer monitors are actually hybrid tablet and laptops. This means you can use them with a traditional keyboard — just like a regular laptop — or you can detach the keyboard and use it like a tablet. As such, it offers an unmatched level of versatility, making it the “go to” choice for many individuals and professionals.

There are just a few of the many benefits associated with touchscreen monitors.
