Anyone know of a good touchscreen monitor/display for events? I am using the lenovo m14t connected to a mac but looking for better options..?

Probably helpful if you say more about your required size, resolution, brightness, durability, portability, price, etc.

Has anyone tried one of these? I'm intrigued. How well does it work?

I used to run a 16:9 vertically for writing so I got one of these and love it.

The only issue is that I needed to install BetterDisplay (former BetterDummy) to get retina scaling from my macbook pro M1 . Dunno why macOS doesn't support it natively since it has the same PPI as a 32" 4k screen.

They're still doing the thing where if you want to wall mount it, you've got to punch a hole in your drywall for the cables to have enough room to exit straight out the back of the monitor. Or hope that some cheap 90-degree noname adapter supports the latest version of DisplayPort that you want. I stopped buying this brand of monitor because of this frustration.

Do you mean wall-mount I'm general, or do you mean wall-mounting with no gap between the chassis and the wall?

Because if you allow a gap, there are plenty of VESA-compatible mounting kits that solve the problem.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Last time i looked you can still pick up the odd 4:3 1280*1024 dell ips on ebay, i have one as a secondary and it works quite well.

There are some NECs that go better, 1600x1200 https://th.nec.com/en_TH/product/display/multisync/lcd2090ux... Manufactured as late as 2010, especially the MedView series.

It's definitely smaller than I was expecting. 18.2" x 19" My 27" display is almost 25" wide.

Maybe I'm bad at reading, but it would be nice if the page explained "this is the equivalent of two 20-inch 16:9 monitors stacked" instead of having to bust out the Pythagorean theorem.

The specs panel has Dimension without Stand (W x H x D): 481.5 x 549.5 x 44.9 mm

This monitor would be perfect as left and right side displays. It needs a matching center display that is twice the width and the same height, yielding a three-monitor configuration with a nice large central display.

>display that is twice the width and the same height

42.7" 16:9, very close to the common 42".

Wow these are the worst possible product photos - does it have a bezel in the middle or not?

I think it's pretty evident from this photo that it does not: https://www.lg.com/us/images/features/mnt-dualup-ergo-28mq78... It should also be obvious given that it is not 2 monitors but a single 16:18 monitor...

Every other example use they've picked seems designed to make it look like it has a bezel with no content crossing the middle of the screen - this single counter-example is buried.
