The mouse nicely compliments the Surface Pro docking station. Being Blutooth no USB dongle is required. It was easy to pair and the scrolling is overall smooth.

This set is a nice wired keyboard/wired mouse. The two items nicely match each other and nicely compliment the Lenovo 21 inch and 23 inch IPS monitor our store carries. The keyboard is quiet when typing.

I have this monitor in my kitchen under flourescent lighting and do not note any significant glare. The text/images are crisp and clear and the monitor has a nice contrast ratio. Please note that the wide bezel does add significant overall size to the monitor. The touch feature works nicely with Windows 8.1.

This is a very nice monitor and fairly priced. It is available in a 25 and 29 inch wide version. The screen in matte and therefore there are no significant reflections. Of note ... the base/trim on the 25 and 29 inch version are different so note picture of monitor on boxes.

What's great about it: Size
What's not so great: Screen clarity
The monitor is of nice size and the touch works smoothly with Windows 8.1. However, the LCD panel is vertical alignment (VA) rather than a IPS panel as in the 23 inch version or the Acer 23 inch. The VA panel allows for accurate colors; however, the panel is not as bright as the Acer and the graphics/texts are not as colorful/crisp compared to IPS panels. In addition, this monitor does not have USB ports built in as does the 23 inch version or the 23 inch Acer. The thing going for this monitor is simply the size and it does appear well built (casing and metal stand). It is also wall mountable (the stand is removable); the 23 inch version and the Acer are also wall mountable.

What's great about it: Works nicely for desktops that do not have an internal bluetooth adapter.
What's not so great: I have had no problems with this adapter.
I use this USB Bluetooth 4.0 adapter with a desktop running Windows 8.1, which recognized the adapter without installing a driver from the included driver disk (CD). It works flawlessly at approximately 14 feet with a Microsoft Wedge keyboard and mouse.

RiverWayne's Answers
Samsung - 970 EVO 250GB Internal PCI Express 3.0 x4 (NVMe) Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology
Back up important data with this 250GB Samsung solid-state drive. Its V-NAND technology uses a 3D, stacked layout to maximize storage capacity while minimizing bulk, and it has no moving parts, so it's less susceptible to physical damage and drive failure. This Samsung solid-state drive operates quietly to reduce disturbances.
Does this include a screw to secure it?
This SSD does not include a screw. Screws for mounting SSD's of this type come with the motherboard or the device you are installing it in. I have purchased several M.2 SSD's of this type for installation, and no matter the brand I chose (usually, but not always, Samsung) none of them included the mounting/holding screw.

Include stand?
Does purchase of this monitor include the stand shown in picture?
The stand comes already attached to the monitor but is removable. The monitor can be wall mounted once the stand is detached from the monitor (requires the removal of two screws). The stand is metal (aluminum I assume) and is sturdy and the one I have seen in photos of the monitor.

Mount screen
Can this screen be mounted like a TV? Does it have the normal 4 screw attachments on the back? Could not see this on the picture listed.
The monitor can be mounted using a standard VESA mount (100 mm).

dual monitor
If I already have an iMac, can I use this as a dual monitor?
You can use this monitor with an Imac as a second display if the Imac has a video out port. I assume it does, so you would need a mini-display port to HDMI adapter. Even though you can use the monitor as a second display, keep in mind touch will not work with Mac OS X (a limitation of the OS and not the monitor).

Will the "touch" portion work with my mac mini?
No, not unless you're running Windows 8.1 on your Mac Mini. The Mac Desktop OS currently does not support touch. This is a limitation of the OS and not a fault of the monitor.

Why is touch not working with my MacBook Pro, OSX 10.9?
My S2240T displays nicely as a second monitor for my MacBook Pro, however touch is not working — it might as well be a much cheaper, non-touch screen.
The included Drivers and Documentation disc does not include a Mac driver, nor does the 100+ page manual mention "Apple" or "Mac" even once. Does Dell not support Mac? Or even acknowledge its existence?

Mac OS X for the Desktop does not currently support touch capabilites; this is something Apple current has not designed into their Desktop OS and not a limitation of the monitor.

Can I plug in a Keyboard?
You cannot plug in any USB peripherals directly into the monitor; the USB port that is built in is to enable the touch capability only. The 23 inch version of this monitor as well as the Acer 23 inch do have USB ports built into the monitor.
