I'm looking to buy a touchscreen monitor to help with the development of iphone/android/windows8 apps. Any thoughts on which type of technology I should be looking for? Assume, for the moment, that price is no object.

The 3M is an MVA panel with a capacitive overlay -- the overlay can obscure the screen and distort colors. The Eizo and Dell both appear to be optical, though Eizo is frequently identified as "optical infrared," which I'm not clear on. The Eizo is PVA, the Dell IPS. The 3M has 1680x1050 resolution, the other 1920x1080.
Any thoughts? Is there something else I should be looking at?
Edit: I forgot to add -- the 3M is 20 point multitouch, the other two are probably only 2 point. I'm pretty sure the optical technology they use requires more than two cameras for true multitouch.
