welcome to Linus tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner we're here in the monitor part of the Samsung booth and we have the SC 770 touch this is their series 7 easy sliding design touchscreen monitor so the idea is it's got 60 degrees of tilt that you can adjust with one finger just like that so why would you want to do that I've talked a lot about on the desktop how touch screen is not necessarily the easiest thing to do because you position your arm out in front of you at a bit of an uncomfortable length and it can get fatiguing if you push the monitor down like this you will alleviate a lot of that strain because it's a more natural position to use it you can also see that the bottom of the bezel here does move slightly towards the user so if you were going to say for example use an on-screen keyboard to type something quickly you'd be able to do that more comfortably now arguably with a desktop with a 27-inch monitor next to it you would probably have a keyboard but a lot of parts of Windows 8 can be more easily navigated more comfortably navigated with touch so spec wise it's available in 24 or 27 inches 16 by 9 it's led it is using a TN panel but it is one of the better ones that I've seen in terms of viewing angles so if you want to go ahead and catch it from the side here there's what your color looks like from the front there's what it looks like from the side so it's much better than ones that I've seen in the past it has a little demo that's built into it so we can go ahead and go through everything here and I seem to have I seem to have broken it flat there's okay sliding design we've talked about this and oh boy I have to put a puzzle together apparently - to do this so that is that is one way to make people go ahead and enjoy the touch experience so you guys can see how quickly I can solve this puzzle I suppose there we go this guy goes here this is here this is here and this is here excellent so now we're allowed to see it so the 10-point touch demo is basically just showing that you can go like this and sort of touch it all over the place and things will fall away next is your style for ultimate touch experience so there she's showing the sliding design and sort of what bezels used to look like versus what they look like now slick knows all about that he has a really old monitor more functionality so they have stereo speakers built-in and last but not least two HDMI ports in so there's a USB three at the back which is how the touchscreen interface runs and there's two HDMI ports so you can have it running off of your desktop and then you can just have an HDMI cable sort of hanging here and you can plug your laptop into it whenever you sit down in front of your desk don't miss any of our CES 2013 coverage subscribe to Linus tech tips and I'll see you guys next time thanks for watching Linus tech tips at CES 2013 powered by Corsair Seagate Technology and Lynx's you
