I'm looking to replace my 28" monitor with something new and big. This is for a desktop system running Windows 8.1. The question is whether it's worth getting a touchscreen. On the one hand, I can see some value in touchscreen for the metro interface, but on the other hand it's easy enough to get around with a mouse (mostly in desktop mode), which is what's I've been doing so far. And with a large screen sitting on top of a desk (as opposed to a kiosk, or lying flat on a table), do I really want to stretching my arm all over?
So who had had real world, work-a-day (not gaming) experience with a large touchscreen on the desktop? Is it worth it?
Of course, if I had unlimited budget I could buy one of those $3,000 30" touchscreens and then ignore the touchscreen feature if I didn't like it. In the real world, with a fixed budget, I can choose between bigger, or higher resolution, or touchscreen.
