I have a SGI 1600SW LCD I've been using for YEARS as a primary monitor and now more recently as LAN Party monitor. I'm tired of lugging around the monitor, the MultiLink adapter, 2 power bricks and 2 cables and would like to upgrade. Now I'm eying either the U2211H or the U2311h as a replacement, but I noticed the ST2220t, which seems to be a the same specs as the 22 or 23, but with a multi-touch display.
Now I know multi-touch seems a bit gimmicky, but has anyone tried one of these displays? Right now and for the immediate future I have no real "office" I just have my main desktop hooked up to a 46" Samsung LCD in my living room. The primary use for the monitor right now would be for LAN party gaming. My thought is down the road, when I finally get to set up a proper office, I'll be able to buy a matched set of displays for work and gaming use. That could be 1-3 years down the road, and I would assume there will be something better and cheaper than the U2311H, or I'll want to go with bigger displays. If I got something like the ST2220t, it would still fit in as a control display or side display of some sort.
So what say you [H]? Anyone play with a st2220t? Do i go with a 22 or U2311h and use the money i save for a NAS box build? Or is there another monitor I should be looking at too?
TL;DR
Thoughts on ST2220t for short term LAN party's, long term general use instead of a U2311h, Replacing a old SGI 1600sw.
