21.5-Inch Multi-Touch Dell Monitor Now on Sale

Sometimes, companies don't manage to meet their own launch schedules, for various reasons, like how Dell failed to release a certain display back in fall, 2010, although it did, finally, surmount whatever difficulties it was faced with, as a certain new page on its web shop shows.

Multi-touch monitors aren't all that widespread, on the consumer market at least, mostly because they add extra cost that not all end-users are willing to meet.

Still, Dell figured there was still a market for such things, among users that often have to deal with photo albums or other multimedia editing, for instance.

The ST2220T is the display that Dell worked on for months and which was supposed to come out months ago.

It was originally scheduled for release in the fall of 2010, but only now has it finally become available for online purchase.

As a monitor, it has a diagonal of 21.5 inches and a native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels (60 Hz), as well as an A-Frame stand, which enables tilt adjustment, so as to allow one to comfortably and easily make use of the touch input.

Speaking of touch, Dell implemented a multi-touch IPS panel, which recognizes fingers, styluses or any other pointers.

Additionally, the product comes with a G2G (gray to gray) response time of 8 ms and a high-gloss front bezel.

Furthermore, the dynamic contrast ratio (DCR) is of 50,000:1, while the brightness is of 250 cd/m2.

Other specifications include D-Sub, DVI and HDMI video inputs, a 3-core USB hub and viewing angles (horizontal and vertical) of 178/178 degrees.

Those that seek a first-hand view of all available information on the device need only visit the official product page, located here.
