6 features Touch Input Bring the amazing world of touch straight to your desktop. PanelTouch uses USB and Display Port connections to interact with the operating system. Open a whole new perspective to productivity, gaming and entertainment with just your fingertips!
Immersive 3D Have objects leap out of your screen and appear right in front of your face using PanelTouch’s passive 3D technology. It uses polarized glasses, the same ones used in cinemas worldwide, to produce flicker-free images on your screen. Now you can enjoy those amazing 3D movies, right in your own room! To enable 3D on your monitor, a compatible graphics card and supporting drivers are required.
Connectivity No matter what your computer, you won’t have trouble connecting it to the PanelTouch. The monitor has a DVI, VGA, DisplayPort, HDMI and a USB connection. For touch interactivity and sound the DisplayPort, HDMI and USB connections may be required, depending on your computer.
features 7 Magnificent Display Enter a world of clarity, vibrant and amazing colour with this incredible display. PanelTouch is capable of 4K resolutions which produces unbelievable clarity and gives users more room to work with on their massive projects! The LED back-lighting, not only uses much less energy, but also allows for local dimming - giving it a higher contrast ratio, in turn giving a rich viewing experience. CineMatic is the next step in viewing technology - allowing the user to select from a number of presets such as cinema, sport and internet, all the while allowing full customisability in controlling the many variables of the monitor. Hate having to change the brightness of the screen as the lighting changes in your room? PanelTouch’s auto-brightness does that for you automatically! You can use one of it’s presets, or set your own rules for how and when it activates!
Cinematic Sound Experience high quality sound from the two embedded speakers at the back of the monitor. These speakers produce strong, undistorted sounds in all frequencies that encompass the human hearing range.

features 9 Capture Moments Communicate with friends and family like never before with the embedded 8 megapixel camera, capable of shooting 1080p HD video along with crisp, high definition sound. Never miss a moment to chat on Skype, Google Hangouts or even record yourself for your creative projects!
Flexible Change the screen’s position from desktop mode to tablet mode and back with just a click of a button. PanelTouch uses small, precise electrical motors alongside gyroscopes to move the screen to the position you want. The monitor can go from 90 degrees to near complete flat on the table. For increased usability, the monitor moves towards the user as it flattens - making it easier to use the stylus. Three buttons are available on the side of the monitor. Two of them are presets (desktop mode and tablet mode), and the other - manual mode - opens a dialogue box which gives you the option of setting your own desired position. You can save your custom settings as a preset, with the monitor being able to remember up to 5 user defined presets.
10 gadgets Stylus Capture your brilliant ideas in fantastic detail with this stylus. It is capable of detecting 1,000 points of pressure allowing the user to draw the finest of lines. The included software provides all the support you need to start creating masterpieces on your favourite graphic design software. The stylus itself features two tips on either end as well as four buttons, all of which can be programmed to do what you want - so you are always in control.
Passive 3D Glasses Put on these glasses and enter the world of 3D. Since PanelTouch uses the passive 3D technology found in cinemas all around the world, the same glasses can be used with the monitor and at the local cinema. Passive 3D technology gives a more enriching experience and lowers the risk of headaches when compared to active 3D technology.
