I've been using the ASUS VT169HE as my secondary touchscreen monitor for about a month now, and it's been a game-changer for my workflow. Mounted on a VESA arm next to my main display, it gives me that perfect angled touch access when I need to quickly sketch ideas or navigate menus.

The 10-point touch responsiveness is spot-on - whether I'm pinch-zooming through CAD drawings or tapping through CNC machine controls (yes, I borrowed that idea from another reviewer!). The IPS panel keeps colors consistent even when viewing from odd angles during collaborative work sessions.

What surprised me most was how much I'd appreciate the Eye Care features during late-night coding marathons. The flicker-free technology actually makes a noticeable difference in eye strain compared to my older monitors. Pro tip: The tilt range is perfect for switching between standing and sitting desk configurations.

The only quirk? As others noted, Windows gets fussy about touch functionality on secondary displays. I solved this by making it my primary display during touch-heavy tasks - the quick HDMI/USB swap takes seconds once you get the hang of it.

For creative professionals or anyone wanting to add tactile interaction to their setup without breaking the bank, this monitor delivers where it counts. Just don't forget to budget for a decent mounting arm - it really unlocks the display's full potential.
