Tricky11 Posted May 23, 2014 Author Posted May 23, 2014 Well i fly a bit with DCS and i also Sim race too. So was thinking on using helios for DCS and some other programs for my sim racing.
Tricky11 Posted May 23, 2014 Author Posted May 23, 2014 Ohhh and its going to be a secondary monitor to my 27" hanns G
Warhog Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 I purchased an Acer T232HL four months ago to use with Helios and as my second monitor. There were not very many brand name touchscreen monitor's to choose from and this monitor had a good rating. There also were very few touchscreen monitors larger than that. Acer had a 27" but it wasn't available in Canada at the time I was looking for one. I would have preferred a 27".:( As far as function goes, I am EXTREMELY happy with this monitor. :thumbup: The touchscreen works beautifully and there really isn't anything bad I have to say about it other than one thing... the on/off button is in a really shitty location. I emphasize SHITTY because I actually had to modify the monitor to deal with the problem. The way I use this monitor is with it mounted to an articulated arm. After I sit down I swing it into position. When I grab the side of the monitor to swing it I would always turn it off by accident.:mad: And it is a very sensitive button to boot. You could blow on it and the monitor would shut off. :cry: But you probably won't have that issue so I wouldn't worry about it. This is my setup with Helios on the touchscreen. One thing I really like is the wide bezel and clear acrylic strip at the bottom. I have some X-keys attached with double sided tape at the bottom left and you could attach a pile of things to this strip for easier flying or racing. Here's another shot of my touchscreen with my latest addition to the sides of the monitor. It really is perfectly suited for doing these kinds of mods and it even has 3 - USB 3.0 outlets on the back.
