Key Features

---|---|---|
Multi-Touch TechnologyStudies have shown that prolonged exposure to blue light can damage eyes because blue light has a short wavelength and produces a higher amount of energy. The Planar Helium PCT2235 incorporates blue light reduction presets so varying blue light levels depending on the activity enhances visual comfort when viewing the display for extended periods of time. |
Planar Helium StandThe Planar Helium PCT2235 includes the sleek, easily adjustable, and ergonomically-friendly Helium Desk Stand that easily adjusts from completely flat to up to a 70° tilt, creating the ultimate touch experience on the desktop in both portrait and landscape orientations. |
Built-In Inputs & ConnectivityFor more integration flexibility, the Planar Helium PCT2235 boasts multiple video inputs – DisplayPort, HDMI and VGA - and integrated speakers. And the VESA-compatible hole pattern on the back of the monitor makes it easy to attach to other mounting option, such as a Planar single-arm clamp stand or a height-adjust desk stand. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
When unlocked, it's easy to inadvertently activate the screen's menu control and power buttons at the lower right of the screen. Fortunately these can be locked so that this is not a problem.
As of Sept 1, 2019, Pi 4 with the default Raspbian required a small configuration tweak to get the touchscreen to work well. (Append 'usbhid.mousepoll=0' as a boot parameter in /boot/cmdline.txt. This also fixed a problem with another mouse. Other linux setups may or may not require something similar.) With that change, the touch screen works perfectly in chromium browser and other apps that expect multitouch input. It also works fine with non-multitouch apps (though I haven't yet figured how to turn on right mouse button emulation for those apps).
Overall, this makes a very nice desktop monitor. It's not super portable because it can't easily be powered by a battery (it requires AC), and it's also a little heavy. But it's a good desktop touch screen. I recommend it and may buy a second one.
Touch controls work fine in Windows 10 and pretty responsive. You do have to plug the included USB cable into your computer for this to work. What is not so great is the touch-based controls. They can be triggered too easily and a bit of a chore to use. Real physical buttons would have been a lot better.
PROS:
Multi-touch control capable
Sharp image, high contrast
The trifecta of video inputs: VGA, HDMI, DisplayPort
Nice of them to include a DisplayPort cable and cable wrap
CONS:
Speaker audio quality (it's better than nothing)
Power & Monitor controls are touch-based as opposed to physical buttons
In box: power cord, cables for audio and video.
I am running the Planar Touch Monitor with a Terryza Mini windows 10 Computer stick also purchased on Amazon @, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BNQLGYM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I tested the monitor with my Firestick using the Firestick remote (no touch control for the Firestick, but great for streaming TV.) It works great, great picture, decent sound (meaning don't expect surround sound) but you can hear it fine. Monitor did come with audio cables if you want to add better speakers.
I have downloaded the/my SlingTV app from the Mircosoft store and it plays Sling TV channels great.
I downloaded the "Bluestacks" emulator program on to the Mini PC and it runs my WYZE Cam app.
In 'Windows Settings' I turned up brightness to 100%, I reset the touch/mouse tap response rate to 100%, then in Settings "File Explorer Option" I set it to single-tap response.
The monitor responds instantly to tap, it looks bright and sleek.

More detail for folks like me who read wayyyy too many of these:
Purchased a pair of these during the early days of the pandemic (April 2020) for data work. My work computer at the time was running Win10 and I had no issues using all features right out of the box with this connected to a dock for all the various outputs they came with. Dual monitors allowed me to work with both screens for web and AWS + the smaller laptop screen for messaging and email. It was glorious! After hours, I would switch to my personal computer and browse the web or try new recipes using just the touchscreen function to keep my keyboard (mostly) clean.
Late in 2020, I moved jobs and then apartments, where I connected just one monitor due to a smaller workspace, put the other one in a cupboard. The one mainly in use (no touch screen as these did not play well with my Macbook Pro or Air) was not moved from its original location, but stopped working entirely in December of 2021. I have tried a few HDMI cords and different laptops with no change in result.
I fetched the second one, which is what I am using to write this review. The color is still great, there is no lag in function and I'm glad I got two for when I needed them. I now have a 34 inch widescreen and would like to rotate the functioning Planar so that it works in vertical mode, but gotta get a stand for that. I've heard great things about the VESA mounts for these specifically, but don't really feel like getting into that much labor rn, so if I can find a regular prop-type stand, I'll be going for that.
I will likely wind up taking the non-functional monitor apart. For parts.
The reason why I was highly interested in this Planar was because of the three-year warranty and 2-day replacement guarantee. The two-day replacement was tested because of an issue with the first shipment. That guarantee attached with this monitor is accurate. The screen is crisp and nice to look at. Overall, based on our experience we would not hesitate to order again and are happy about the monitor.

My only criticism about the screen is the control buttons. They are touch sensitive on the bezel and impossible to see. You will accidentally turn off your monitor if you have to handle or position it. Hardware buttons on the underside would have been better.
EDIT: Upgraded from four stars to five. This monitor deserves more than four stars, the only option is to give it five.
