Product Review: Samsung 650ts

I was so excited to use the latest innovation in touch screen technology at the ACR Show at McCormick Place a couple weeks ago! The Samsung 650ts is a 65” touch screen that uses inferred sensors to follow your finger or pointer. When connected to a PC or Mac it acts as a mouse.

Out of the box, the monitor is controllable in only landscape orientation. The monitor can mimic the image of a laptop or desktop through the VGA, DVI or HDMI ports. With a USB cable attached to the computer and monitor, you are ready to go - no drivers needed.

With the help of the driver manufacturer, next window touch+2.9 USB driver utility, we were able to flip the monitor image using Windows 7 and recalibrate the touch capability with the downloaded driver. This action allowed us to hang the monitor in portrait mode to create what you see in the image to the left.

Having the flexibility to rotate the screen will give you more options on your next meeting or trade show. Call 815-469-1422 for your chance to use the Samsung 650ts on your next show.
