Is the screen flush with the bezel? I'd like a seamless experience when I swipe the charms bar in Windows 8.1.

It is not. In fact, the screen has about a two centimeter clearance between the edge of the screen and the bezel.

No, it's not flush. And the depth of the monitor is not pretty. It makes the monitor look bulky.

No, but it is about 1/4" above the bezel and 1/2" wide. The bezel is thinner than many other touchscreen monitors I have looked at. I use two side by side along with a third non touchscreen Samsung monitor. It works fine foe me side by side. However, Windows 8.1 has a setup program that must be run each time you re-boot or log in so you can use the two touchscreens independent from one another. This is another example of Microsoft's lack of understanding as to how users use their computers.

No, it does not. The connector is attached to the mother board and is not part of the screen or bezel assembly.

Yes, but do not swipe/scan your fingerprint as the on screen instructions say. Windows 7 & 8 have a glitch and Microsoft doesn't care about us. Just put the center of your finger on the center of the screen until you see the bar move and it tells you to do it again. Sometimes it wants to see it several times, but it will tell you when it is good. JUST DON'T SWIPE IT! Hold it there.

No bezel actually - you have to be careful taking it off so you can put it back on. This was the LCD. My father dropped the laptop and broke the glass. This fixed it.

It is not touchscreen, unless they've changed the model in the few months that I've had mine. Still a good buy, if you can live with Windows 8.

Problem fixed by Asus 24/7 customer servicee.In case it happens to anyone, here is the solution:Right click on anywhere in the Windows screen and select Graphic Options - Rotation - Normal. A dust swipe should not cause the screen to rotate but, apparently in some cases it does.

I must have worded it wrong. Its the contrast. You have to hold it at the right angle to see the screen just right. Other than that minor thing I love it

I am running Windows 8 Pro with this monitor. Everything works as far as the touchscreen goes, but as i said in the review, the beveled edges of the monitor screen create difficulty getting side swipes and corners to activate. As far as the missing start menu, I agree it is a pain. I've downloaded "Start 8" from the company Stardock. I've used their software before and it works well. "Start 8" recreates the start menu that is quite similar to Windows 7. It costs 4.99 from their website.

The measure is the diagonal of the screen itself... Without the aluminum bezel...

Mine is not a touch screen, but I think touch is available as an option. Windows 8 I believe.

1.) Bezel on the side is 3/4 of an inch thick.2.) Yes, the amount of space between inside edge of bezel and the picture is negligible.

actually on mine the keyboard and edge of the screen are black. But the the outside, top and bottom both are silver..

No bezel when switched off.... Very thin bezel behind the screen/glass when switched on. Hope this helps!

No, it is not touch screen. That makes the whole windows 8 a little more tricky.

No, where the outline of the mounting square sits is inside of the screen area. I was actually going to return as a result of this, but forgot about it until it was past my return time. Now I just use it for a quick Loop when needed. I'm thinking about a Hoodman in the future.

Carol; Yes there is. The monitor control/menu/etc buttons are touch sensitive areas of the front bezel. Its quite neat, really, the slick design that has no visible buttons.

I'll find out for you, give me a second.you should thank me for walking all the way downstairs into the cold basement to look at this monitor, plus I am using the ruler that I used to kill all of my spiders in my bedroom last year, so be very grateful for my assistance. If we look at the ruler up against the border it looks like the top border the left border and the right border there is no f****** border there, it is basically just the edge of the screen and then a tiny tiny little tiny piece of plastic which is the border. Now on the bottom of the screen there is a little border with the word Acer on it which is a little over 1 centimeter it is basically one centimeter and then one little tiny notch above the one centimeter. Does that answer your question?
