Acer UT222Q bmip 21.5” Full HD (1920 x 1080) 10 Point Touch Monitor with AMD FreeSync Technology Up to 75Hz 5ms (Display Port, HDMI Port, VGA & USB Port),Black

I only post reviews when I feel it's necessary, and in this case, I strongly feel a review is needed to correct some of the negative and incorrect reviews so this beautiful Acer UT241Y Touchscreen monitor gets the credits it deserves.I ordered it on 7/28/2022 and with Prime received it two days later on 7/30. It arrived in a big padded box so it's well protected beyond its original box.Let's get some conflicting info in the reviews straight:1. It IS a touchscreen monitor.2. It WORKS with both Windows 10 AND Windows 11, out of the box, plug and play. I have a Win 10 desktop and a Win 11 laptop and didn't need to do anything other than connecting it for it to work.3. The built is solid. Stand is heavy and came attached. Love the matt no glare screen.So, why the negative 1 star reviews? In short, connectivity issues, which can be solved by the right cables and knowledge to know what to do.A touchscreen display needs 3 things to function properly:1. power supply -- power cable included, common USB-C is probably not enough to power this size of monitor.2. Display -- it takes VGA (for older computers, VGA cable included), HDMI (if your computer has a HDMI port you should already have a HDMI cable), and DP Alt (your computer might come with one). Plugging in any one of these 3 cables will get the display working.3. Touchscreen function -- This requires a full function USB-C cable, not just a USB-C charging cable. I tested using a USB-A to USB-C cable to connect to the monitor's USB-C port and the touchscreen function works.So in summary, if you have an older computer that doesn’t have HDMI or DP Alt ports, then connect your computer’s VGA port to the monitor’s VGA port with the included the cable to get the display working. If your computer has HDMI or DP Alt ports then you should have a cable that would work so you don’t need any additional cable for the display. The monitor’s AutoSource scans for input source so there’s nothing to set up. Just Plug and Play. Then use the included USB-C to USB-C cable or a USB-A to USB-C data transfer cable such as this https://smile.amazon.com/Transfer-Charging-Samsung-SanDisk-Portable/dp/B09HX9C8L2/ref=sr_1_4?th=1 to get the touchscreen working depending on the port available on your computer.I think most people complained touchscreen not working because they used a USB-C charging cable not realizing that it doesn’t have the data transfer capability.

Surprised how well the touch screen works. Setup was easy. Great size. Works flawlessly. Clear picture. Highly recommend.

I have tried about 9 different touchscreen monitors larger than 17” and had to return them all because as good those monitors are, touch does not work. Finally, Acer screen is working with windows 11. One tip is to buy a DisplayPort cable, which is not included. Along with the included USB cable I was able to get the 10 point touch to work seamlessly. I attached a mini PC with a mount in the back and now have this huge windows tablet if you can call it that. Couple of huge negatives that comes with the only working touch screen I could find; first, it’s heavy and bulky. Not very portable. Second, the menu is bad and cumbersome. But for now, this is the only large screen that has worked and beggars can’t be choosers. I also tried it with IPhone 16 and touch does not work. I have not tried it with any Samsung Dex phone to see if that works. Would like to know if anyone was able to make it fully work with a phone.

I do sound recording with a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).In this type of work, having two monitors is really almost required.My ASUS ROG motherboard has one HDMI, and one DisplayPort. I have Windows 10.Most monitors don't have Displayport. So if you want two HDMI monitors, you can try a DisplayPort / HDMI adapter, or buy a video card with multiple HDMI.I tried an adapter, and it worked, but was kind of flakey. The thing got hot, and if I re-booted, sometimes it would not function. Especially after one of the endless Windows updates that Microsoft insists on installing.I am not a fan of putting un-needed PCI cards in my computer.So I got this in part for the DisplayPort. And it works great. It sensed the DP signal right away, I didn't even need to find the menu for the video source. It has been very reliable. And the picture quality is just fine. And the area around the border is correct (some monitors cut off the boundaries of the screen)The connectors are mounted in the back, in a way that hides the cable, unlike many portable monitors that put the connections on the side. This keeps things neat.The folding stand works fine for my purpose.I have not tried the touchscreen.

Just cant find a good touch screen for PCs now days... Seems phones and tablets are flawless, but PC touch screens all seem to be garbage... Touch one spot, see 5 other spots light up on this one... Try to swipe up on a web page and its zooming in... The other touch screen, from ViewSonic has a whole other issue, where I cant drag anything for more than a few inches without it dropping the touch...

Ok....I love Acer. Why? Normally, I love the sturdiness of their product line; software, I can re-do. Its a sad day, after 5 yrs when an Acer dies bc I normally have them for 8.Anyways, thanks to inflation...I decided to flip from AIO computers to Mini Computers for office. So...i have been buying new, cool monitors.Got this one. Ok..speaker low. Hooked up firestick with ease. And Touchscreen IS AMAZING AT THIS PRICE! HOOKED UP SPEAKER VIA FIRESTICK.Now, this was a test out at home. At work, Im not watching prime, hulu, etc. So, speaker not a huge thing. My pic is home.For price? AMAZING ONCE AGAIN. Speakers? Only draw back. ACER normally is pretty good...yeah, this is one time they let me down.Will I buy again? Yes. Office great. Home, No.
