This Dell touchscreen monitor is the best one we found in the 24-inch category. First, let’s talk usability. The 10-point touch tech on the screen gives you ultimate control to pinch, drag, slide and tap toward any means needed. The touchscreen doesn’t employ glass, but rather an Advanced In-Cell tech that gives you an anti-glare surface. The stand also gives you the ability to work from any angle as you can pivot the monitor to be a standard straight-on screen all the way down to a writing surface ( a difference of 178 degrees).

Now let’s talk about the appearance of the screen itself. The bezels are virtually non-existent, a status usually reserved for tablets and phones, which is great because you’ll be up close and personal with this touchscreen. The 1920 x 1080-pixel resolution puts it firmly in the “full HD” category, and the 16:9 aspect ratio gives you a ton of versatility for viewing movies or working on full artistic layouts and projects. It all combines to make this LED display a truly glowing example of what touchscreen tech can bring to the standalone monitor world.
