s2340tt touch screen monitors made in china

As Microsoft Windows 8 launch is just hours away, many brands are sending out their best Windows 8 optimized products to the press. One of the products that caught my eyes is this Dell S2340T Multi-touch monitor.

The S2340T also features a one cable USB solution. Conveniently hook up the USB cable to any of your PC devices via USB3.0 port to enable touch, graphics*, audio*, Ethernet*, webcam capabilities on your S2340T monitor. *To enable graphics, audio and Ethernet on your S2340T via the USB cable, please install the software driver from CD or from http://www.displaylink.com/support

Problem Summary: I am forced to manually connect the USB devices that represent the monitor"s touchscreen function and webcam each time the VMware app is launched. Cannot make the devices automatically reconnect.

Problem Details: There is a Dell S2340T touchscreen monitor connected to the Mac Mini with an HDMI cable for audio/video and a USB cable that enables the touchscreen function. When VMware is launched, the Windows OS loads, and there are three devices that need to be connected under the USB & Bluetooth menu:

Once the box next to Connect Input Device is checked the touch screen function in Windows 8 VM works, and the same with the webcam. However if I need to log out of the Mac or re-launch VMware I need to go back to the Virtual Machine menu->USB & Bluetooth and check boxes next to the three devices. I have already went into the USB Settings and have all three devices set to Connect to Windows, but it made no difference if that option was set to Ask or Connect to Macintosh.

Dell recently introduced the new S Series monitors which aims to bring quality visuals to the regular end user. Now they have added a new monitor to the range in the shape of the Dell S2340T. The main differentiating feature of the S2340T when compared to the S2340L, another 23-inch IPS monitor from Dell, is the fact that the former supports multi-touch input. Following are key specifications of the Dell S2340T.

The new monitor has been optimized for Windows 8. It is especially intended to make full use of the touch input capabilities of the Modern UI. The Dell S2340T is capable of registering and recognizing 10 point touch at any given time. Additionally, the stand for the new S Series monitor can allow you to have to flat and parallel on the resting surface allowing you to use the 23-inch screen almost like a tablet.
