There are 1080P touchscreens but I wouldn't recommend them. I would say go for something like a 27 inch 1440P Korean IPS/PLS monitor. Also the touchscreen monitors are at least 300$+. As for the 1440p screen, they are about 320$ and the ones from Asus are about 500$+.

Yes.

Trust me when I say you shouldn't get one. Touchscreen for the desktop is pretty much useless, is more of a gimmick than anything else, and you'll be too busy doing something else to actually use it.

So it is better that I get a monitor that is just for Gaming and no touchscreen?

It's best not to waste money on a monitor with touch for a desktop.

Get a nice IPS panel instead.

Response times are pretty much irrelevant.

That's a VA panel. It's better than TN but IPS is still better.

What shops are you using?
