No. It's not pressure sensitive, and how sensitive is the screen? You can't use a brush tip or pencil tip on it, and I'm willing to bet that you'll damage the screen if you try and use a stylus. Is it sensitive down to individual pixel width like the higher end Wacom tablets (Intuos & Cintiq) are? I don't think so. You get what you pay for.

You're willing to bet? You don't think so? Dude you don't even know for sure. Yes it is a cheaper screen, so in all likelyhood all this thing is good for is a gimmick and presenters. But if it is sensitive down to the pixel then this'll be a pretty nifty screen for artists on a budget, no? I can barely draw a stickman so idk for sure (but the gf is gonna let me fiddle around with her old external tablet :lol)

I wrote that because I don't know what technology is used for the touch screen. If it's magnet based like the Wacom tablets, then no, not at that price point. If the Acer is using the old school film technology where there is a thin plastic film suspended over the glass, then the screen will not be accurate enough to do artwork, unless you really zoom in and using a stylus will damage the film for sure.

you mean 1920X1200?

you still want it wide dude.

i prefer 1200 over the 1080 for sure.

I dunno, 1920x1600 would be nice - more screen that way. Widescreen content can just play letterboxed.

I got a 24" 1920x1080 for gaming, which works great. But movies run at something else, so I still get boxed. idk what the uber-wide format is but IT MAKES BABY JESUS CRY. imo 16:9 is a nice medium of wide vs standard.

on a side note, isn't HD porn 1080p now?

Movies are generally 1.85:1.
16:9 is equivalent to 1.78:1.

Right now there's no killer app for the average user but it would be great for music production. You could control various sliders and effects a lot faster on a touch screen than a mouse.

^True that - if it does multitouch, it would be great for virual/software mixers or synth controllers.

Althought not exactly the same, I bought a Gateway ZX6800 All-in-One with Windows 7 Multitouch 23" screen back in October/November last year for my kids. It was $999 with QX8300/4GB DDR3/1TB SATA. But Acer/Gateway is the same company now. :p

The multi-touch for Windows 7 is like Senna4eve mentioned, not presure sensitive. There are optical sensor around the screen and it detects the cooridinate of the sensor being block to achive the touch feedback. However, there is an extra layer of hard plastic covering up the to protect the surface. Therefore, stylus is ok. It actually detects the touch without physcially touch the screen. That's also why is much cheaper to produce than tranditional touch film. No calibration is needed either becuase there's no overlaying film. It's always accurate.

It's fun to play with the Windows 7 touch pack, but it's not good enough for FPS. I tried L4D on it. But it could be because the system has slow graphic (X4500HD). There's a little delay on the touch response in the game and I'd rather use mouse with the game.

I tried Bejeweled on it. It's prefect, except my hand gets tired after 5~10 minutes.

Flash games for kids are good enough. You can interact directly on the screen. But I found my kids often just grab the mouse instead.

But for $380~, you can't even buy a tranditional film touch screen at 15".
A 19" tranditional film touch screen can easily go up to $600~800+.
