It's reasonable to expect any modern computer screen to support touch. By far the most annoying feature of my 4K desktop monitor is that it lacks touch. I will never buy another non-touch monitor. While you are clearly anchored to the quaint ways of the past, the rest of us have progressed two decades into the 21st century. Come join us in the modern world - and loosen up a bit on the OCD!


A touch screen is not inherently better.

A finger obstructs the view, is laughably imprecise and leaves oil and water behind, which blurs and distorts the image.

A finger is, however, the most natural interface and readily available.

Which is why it is amazing for the phone we carry with us and terrible for a 27” 5k display, viewed at almost arms length distance.
