s2340tt touch screen monitors free sample

It can be tilted/pivoted and even bends over 90 degrees to lie face up. The hinge allows for smooth movement, but it does require two hands to do this. We found the feature particularly handy on a number of occasions, especially when I wanted to share something on my screen with work colleagues.

However, such flexibility means the monitor is not as sturdy as it should be. Giving the touch screen a firm prod with just one finger will initiate a little wobble. This isn"t much of a problem when the monitor is used in the traditional manner, but when it is lying screen up, or you are using multiple fingers, this becomes all the more noticeable.

Navigating through Windows 8 is easy all the gestures are available straight from the off. We found ourselves swiping from the right hand side of the screen to bring up the Charms menus regularly and, swiping from the left hand edge to cycle between open applications.

The touch screen came in most useful when we were using this tablet-like interface. When in desktop mode we predominantly used a mouse and keyboard. The ability to be able to tap on an icon, menu or link was useful.

The only problem we had with the display was the glossy coating on the screen. This makes the display susceptible to glare from overhead lighting, so it"s not ideal for use in an office environment. You"re also going to have to keep the cleaning cloth handy, as the display is a fingerprint magnet, much like regular tablets.

Being one of the first Windows 8 certified monitors on the market, it"s obvious this wasn"t going to be cheap. With a price of 539 including VAT, the S2340T is typically four times the price of a standard 23in monitor.

The display is optimised for use with Windows 8 devices, and this is software which most businesses will not be transitioning to for the foreseeable future. From a business point of view, this is a massive investment and when we got down to serious work, the touch functionality felt like a novelty purchase rather than a necessity.

One of the most flexible monitors on the market, the Dell S2340T gives us a glimpse of what to expect in 2013. It’s easy to set up, and works beautifully well. However, it’s eye-watering price means we won’t be seeing it deployed by businesses before the year is out. Do you really need a touch screen to get the most out of Windows 8 on a desktop? If you"re a business user, you will probably spend most of your time within the desktop so the answer is no. Although we can"t fault the quality of the monitor, we would struggle to recommend the £500+ investment.

I thought ordering a new computer and I saw the opportunity to add a monitor Dell S2340T Multi Touch to buy with a laptop. So I"m wondering if I just buy the Dell S2340T Multi Touch monitor by itself and then buy or make my own office tower would be the work of Dell S2340T Multi Touch Monitor with a desktop Tower computer?

First time here; has someone encountered difficulties with any touchscreen monitor Dell (DELL E157FPT) running on a Windows7 computer Dell Inspiron professional when using the new software QuickBooks 2013?

I am a Tekky guys and have ordered a replacement from Dell touch screen (he did not here yet) and the Dell Inspiron is brand new (purchased in Mar.2013), and it was working fine until my Office Manager downloaded and installed the software of 2013 QB pos on the pc.  After that, he was up and down like a yo-yo.

I have connected my new monitor S2340T to my new XPS8700 but cannot get the built in speakers to work by setting the audio source on USB (using the 4 buttons on the right side of the screen). I"m not the most technical people but surly he should also work using HDMI. How can I get the sound to work by using the audio input HDMI/DP default parameter? Thank you very much

1. I am the "habit" of registration of all my products by their respective manufacturers. Apparently however, for Dell products get a seat needs a "Service Tag", and such a label is provided for 27 "or big screens (smaller have only an order # on their packing boxes). So how am I really save this new and VERY expensive monitor of mine with Dell?

2. I use the S2340T both as a PC to monitor (via the DisplayPort + USB-input connectors) AND as a display of television (via the HDMI connector); then between the two functions is done by selecting the entry in the buttons on the bottom right of the screen. Also, noise produced by the PC is managed by the speakers connected to the soundcard of the PC, while the noise generated by the cable box is managed (via the HDMI connection) by the speakers built into the base of the S2340T. Given the above configuration, here"s my question: How can I (at some point) control the VOLUME of the built-in speakers while watching TV (volume / lower / mute), because it seems there is no button on the monitor volume control, and PC (from the keyboard) volume controls affect the speakers connected to the sound card and not integrated in the monitor (despite the USB upstream connection)? Any useful info you could provide on any of the foregoing will be more appreciated.

I want to share that usually when we use the screen to watch TV via HDMI, the TV"s features are controlled by the decoder and the monitor receives the signals audio video him. A remote control is provided along - with set-top box to change channels and you should be able to control the volume and mute as well. However, I don"t know if the above applies to your situation or not.

Hi, sorry for all the trouble that I had asked you in a previous question how to disable studio dell on touch screen, which worked very well but still got fingertapps error exe error in domain root on the screen since I had installed recognition speech day even thought it was that but wasn"t, so went to Dells website and they have a download urgent for the touch screen more fingertapps and what does it Thanks again.

Go to Options-> typing and entry-> keyboard-> then uncheck/check the box indicating ""(décocher pour arrêter la vérification n de la tonalité deles de touches pour commencer la tonalité deles de touches)... keypad tone ".

I had my S2340T monitor for about nine months and have always had problems with it under Windows 7, 8 and 8.1.  Plug into a USB port and use the latest DisplayLink drivers causes artifacts on the screen while scrolling or moving the mouse on the screen.   I have two monitors.  Another one (a HP 2311 x) is connected to a DVI port on my card from Nvidia 260GTX.  There is no problem on this monitor. I wonder if I might have better luck by giving up USB and try to use the S2340T with HDMI.  When I tried, the monitor reports that there is no input signal.  But still, it seems that avoiding DisplayLink entirely is the way to go. All advice is appreciated.

First of all, let me thank the poster who already helped me to this question in having posted on the tests under Device Info.  My pre in recent weeks has made these "ghost" hit after I put the phone down or even when I use it.  First I wrote chalked up tasks and screen dirty and sometimes a little software as problem clean often arrested and turning then turn it stopped it.  These random touch screen became more frequent and cleaning or switch it off had little or no impact.  Finally, I read tests on this forum and the touch of the screen test shows that left all of the touch screen does not work.  Had a feeling that it was something like that, because when you do the SMS I was no longer able to hit the sign in lower left to start a new text message.

Guess that it is a defect in the screen and also guess there is very little that will see this question but have to ask if anyone else has?  I say default as the phone is not never dropped or used in any way that an accident could have happened.  Correct me if I have this wrong, but since this is a defect that should be covered by the warranty and no charge?  I live very rural and the nearest the actual repair center is more than an hour away so before you go I would like to know if it"s something that happens from time to time and I do not see a home solution.  Have not even that hooked up to my computer again and I bought the day 1 of the version so no backup tips before you go?  BTW am happy with another pre touching itself and launch of things on its own.  Finally, and I don"t think it"s a fault of the screen, but all the advice on the protection of the screen?

A few days ago I bought a new 950 Lumia from Microsoft with Windows Mobile 10 which have the peculiarity of "Continuum for phones" very useful which allow you to use Universal Windows App on a big screen and see them with the same interface they have when they are running on the desktop environment, but the app is still running on your phone.

I already have all the universal App I need, but I"m still missing something like Photoshop Touch and it is not PhotoshopTouch as a universal application on Windows Store (at least with levels).

If Adobe decides to make Photoshop Touch (or something similar) as a universal Windows application, I use only my phone to do anything and it connects on a large screen, mouse and keyboard when I arrive in my office, without need to bring the laptop with me and with the utility to continue my work on the road on my phone because everything is already there with the Continuum without need for multiple devices and a cloud platform to synchronize files on multiple devices.

Photoshop Touch itself was abandoned, but there are already some applications that allow to fill some of the gaps he left behind (like Photoshop Fix and Photoshop Mix). The problem here, is that they are Android and iOS only for now. (I think not that patch has been released for Android yet.)

Only, I got this error after the purchase of a Dell S2340T touchscreen monitor, which comes with the DisplayLink drivers for video operation single USB 3.0 cable.

Move to a solution of 2 cables for example. HMDI + USB and uninstall all programs displaylink software.  Restart the PC.   I changed the screen in HDMI and green Mode to avoid this automatic forcing install drivers when the display is detected by Windows 8.

I need to replace my PC setup at home, so your article on buying a new family PC was really great for me. Currently the PC is only used by the children for accessing the web, running Minecraft, iTunes, playing The Sims etc. I would really like to try using a touchscreen monitor to get the best out of Windows 8. I am aware of the argument about gorilla arms, but after using an iPad, I find myself prodding all computer screens with an (unrealistic) expectation that something should happen.

You can add a touch-sensitive screen to any PC – or even an old laptop – by buying a touch-sensitive monitor. There must be a market for them, because most leading monitor suppliers offer them. This includes Acer, AOC, Asus, Dell, HP, Iiyama, LG, Samsung and ViewSonic. The less well-known HannsG also has competitive offerings.

However, touch sensitivity requires extra technology, which is an extra cost, especially for large screens. Touch-sensitive monitors are therefore more expensive than traditional designs, which must restrict the size of the market.

As you have found, there are lots of all-in-one PCs with touch screens, but they are basically laptop designs with separate keyboards. Slimline designs impose thermal constraints on the processor, which will typically operate at a TDP between 15W and 35W, or less. The processor will be throttled when it gets too hot, and the PC may shut down. By contrast, spacious desktop towers can use processors that run at 45W to 90W or more, so you get more performance for less money.

Towers provide space for adding more memory, ports, faster graphics cards, extra hard drives, optical drives (DVD or Blu-ray) and so on. They are also much easier to repair, so they should last longer. The main drawback is that they take up more space than laptops or all-in-one designs. This may be critical if you want to mount the screen on a wall, which is common with touch-screen PCs used for public information access.

You must consider the flexibility of the design. While the “gorilla arm” argument is simplistic to the point of stupidity – teachers have been using blackboards for centuries – there are important considerations to do with screen distance and angle.

The better all-in-ones provide flexibility to handle different programs and different uses. Often the screen leans back, and in some cases, can be used in a horizontal position. This makes it practical to play electronic versions of family board games, navigate around maps, play a virtual piano, and so on.

Desktop monitors are usually designed to be used with the screen in a vertical position, and relatively high up. This puts the screen a long way from your hands, so you are less likely to use it for touch operations. This contrasts with using a laptop, where the screen may be as handy as the keyboard.

If you decide to go for a touch-screen monitor, choose one that is easy to tilt backwards and possible to use in a horizontal position. Obviously, you should be able to return it to an upright position for word processing and so on.

Alternatively, you can buy any touch screen you like, if you mount it on a monitor arm that enables the screen to be moved around. This may actually be a better option, but it will probably cost more.

Touch-screen monitors are a bit more complicated than traditional designs, because they are active rather than passive devices. Traditional screens just have to show a picture, whereas touch-screen monitors have to feed information back to the PC. They often do this via a separate USB cable that runs next to the VGA/DVI/HDMI/etc video cable.

Monitors also vary according to the number of touch-sensitive points. This can range from five to 40, but 10 is usual for Windows 8. Further, different monitors may use optical, resistive or capacitative touch technology. Capacitative touch provides the same experience as using a tablet, which is what you want.

Some monitors support a new standard: MHL (Mobile High-definition Link). This enables you to connect a compatible smartphone or tablet to the monitor to show videos with high-resolution sound (up to 7.1 channels, including TrueHD and DTS-HD). The mobile device gets charged while it’s attached.

Other considerations are the usual ones: screen size and resolution, brightness, type of technology (LED, IPS etc), number of ports, whether it includes loudspeakers, and so on. Since you’re a developer, you’ll probably want to knock out a quick spreadsheet to compare all the options.

Note that touch-screen monitors designed for Windows 7 – probably with two touch-points – are less than ideal for Windows 8, where the bezel has to be flush with the display for edge-swipes. However, I don’t expect there are many Windows 7 touch monitors still on the market.

I have very little experience of different touch-screen monitors, and haven’t tested any, so you will need to do your own research. I can point to some of the products that are available, but unfortunately it may be hard or impossible to see them before you buy one.

PC World, for example, only seems to offer three touch-screen monitors. These are all Acer models with Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) and screen sizes of 21.5in (£179.99), 23in (£249.99) and 27in (£379.99). These have MHL support, USB 3.0 and tilt stands that adjust from 80 to 30 degrees, so you could do worse. The 23in IPS-screen Acer T232HLA looks like the best option.

Other touch-screen monitors that might be worth a look include the 23.6in AOC Style i2472P (£262.98), the 21.5in Dell S2240T H6V56 (£207.38) and the 23in Dell S2340T (£339.95). There’s also a ViewSonic TD2340 for £199.99, apparently reduced from £439.99, and a 24in Samsung S24C770TS for £449.99.

If you have a modern Windows 8 laptop, then you can probably use Windows 8’s touch gestures on its built-in touchpad. In the same vein, you could just buy a touchpad for your desktop PC and use it with a cheaper non-touch screen. Logitech’s rechargeable Touchpad T650 is an expensive option at £114, though the wireless T650 looks a better buy at £39.99.

You don’t have to buy a fancy all-in-one or hybrid to benefit from Windows 8’s touch features – you can add a touchscreen such as Dell’s S2340T to your existing PC instead. This 23in Full HD display combines multitouch capacitive technology with a highly adjustable stand, and an array of handy docking station features.

Getting the S2340T up and running is simple. Video connection is via HDMI or DisplayPort, and to enable the touchscreen a USB 3 connection is also required. With everything plugged into our Windows 8 host PC, the S2340T was ready to go in seconds, with no extra drivers or downloads needed.

The touchscreen layer beneath the monitor’s glass panel supports ten-finger input, and it responded instantly to flicks and pinches. We soon found ourselves reaching out to tap links and swipe web pages up and down – it all feels surprisingly natural.

Alas, not all gestures work as well. In particular, we found support for Windows 8’s edge-swipe gestures was patchy, and we frequently found we had to forcefully drag a finger onto the screen from the bezel to activate them.

That’s a shame, since the S2340T has an array of features that would seem to make it the ideal Windows 8 monitor. It has a double-jointed stand, which not only tilts back and forth, but also rises up and down and folds back flat to leave the touchscreen pointing skywards. The display can be craned forward, too, and pulled down flush with the surface of the desk to make touchscreen operation more comfortable. Two cleverly positioned rubber bumpers on the monitor’s lower edge ensure it doesn’t move or clatter around when prodded.

The webcam provides detailed – but noisy – images, and while the pair of speakers in the base are better than those that come with most monitors, their small size limits their potential. Music is reproduced crisply enough to remain listenable, but there’s little bass and the maximum volume is modest.

Image quality is mixed. The monitor’s IPS panel delivers colours that remain true whichever position the S2340T is viewed from, and the accuracy of those hues is admirable. Unfortunately, the touchscreen layer plays havoc with the monitor’s reproduction of darker tones, with black appearing as a dark grey. We measured the maximum brightness at 221cd/m2, which in normal circumstances would be ample, but here it isn’t enough to overcome the poor black level, giving a disappointing contrast ratio of only 267:1. Photos and video consequently lack fizz, and darker scenes in movies and games look washed out and lacking in detail. It all looks rather lifeless next to the best monitors we’ve tested.

At £540, this multitalented monitor commands a considerable premium, but with so many shortcomings it simply isn’t worth paying the extra cash for. You’re better off sticking to a non-touchscreen monitor – such as Dell’s excellent 23in UltraSharp U2312HM – which provides far superior image quality at a fraction of the price.Details

The problem is that on a touch screen the mouse down and up events do not get called when you press and drag like you would with a mouse. The up/down events are called if you simply press in one spot but not if you touch and drag.

My current thinking is to use WM_TOUCH messages and capture the touch and drag myself but I am hoping there is a better way or something I have missed. Any suggestions?
