Touchscreen monitor

My Dad has decided that as he uses touch screen monitors all day at work, he'd prefer to have one at home. He doesn't have a budget, but wants a range of price options. Unfortunately I know naff all about touch screens, and desktop touch screen monitors still appear to be a bit of a niche market.

Could anyone help me out with some touchscreen monitor options? The focus is on ease of use, and the absolute maximum size is 23" (as that's as big as the computer desk the PC lives on will accomadate).

Colour accuracy etc isn't particularly important, as it will mostly be used for web browsing, watching films, and playing the odd game.

Thanks in advance!

ebuyer have an iiyama 22" with capacitative touch screen. They always used to be regarded as a top brand for monitors. Unfortunately it does come at a price though: £533 :o

They have other options at a variety of price ranges, but due to inconsistent product detail input you'll need to look atthe serach results for both touchscreen AND touch screen ;)

i know ASUS and Sony, even BenQ, and many other companies make touchscreen PC's. However they are usually all in one PC's where the screen is also the housing for the hardware components. Not sure if that's what you want.

Also, I'm not sure if they make it at 23"

An example from Sony:

Dell recently released the ST2220T, a 21.5" IPS touchscreen for £300. However it's not capacitive, only infrared, hence being so cheap compared to other touchscreens. Dell + IPS usually means it's a high quality display though.

Dell monitors are great, and they are high quality, when you get the right unit though. Not disagreeing with bearbear, but I think those unfamiliar with Dell should be aware that when you purchase monitors or laptops (from my experience and others I've read of), you need to prepare yourself to send back your goods a few times if you're unlucky before getting a properly functioning device.

That's the bad news, the GREAT News about Dell is that they have great customer service and handles RMA's pretty well with no hassles. So just prepare yourself for some exchanges at worst.

Sorry for not replying before, life gets in the way sometimes! Thanks for all of the suggestion. Colour accuracy isn't as important as the touchscreen interface.

My parents already have a good PC (I should know, I built it!) so an all-in-one would be a step backwards.

Has anyone had any experience of infrared touchscreens? Are they any good, or should I only be looking at the more expensive capacitive screens?

Gesture based kinect would probably save money, but its not touchscreen.
