HP Compaq L2105tm Widescreen Touchscreen Monitor [21" HP L2105 MultiTouch 1080p Panel Introduced Ahead of Windows 7 Debuts]

Remember Dells’s SX2210T multitouch touchscreen monitor, Well it looks like they’re  not the only ones to take advantage of tomorrow’s debut of Windows 7. Joining the bandwagon, there’s HP who have just announced their new 21-inch Compaq L2105tm 1080p panel that boasts an optical sensor to “read” two-point touch input coming from either the dedicated hard stylus or your fingers.

Dubbed as the company’s first Windows 7 multitouch certified monitor, the HP Compaq L2105tm widescreen comes with an optical touch panel technology meant to improve the touch accuracy which leads to work performance and productivity (of course not if you play with your sticky fingers on it all day).

On top of that there’s 1080p Full HD video quality, an 170-degree viewing angle, 1,000:1 static contrast ratio and a 5ms pixel response time. There’s both DVI and VGA input, a built-in two-watt speakers system and an USB slot to get your touch signal if you’re not using Windows 7 but other platforms that can recognize it.

The HP Compaq L2105tm multitouch touchscreen monitor starts at $299, with the panel available starting tomorrow as you’d expect, but shipments begin next week.
