The monitor casing has been opened and a touch sensor – a thin sheet of glass or plastic (see Touch Screen Kits) – has been fitted over the LCD screen. This is connected to a touchscreen controller (see Touch Screen Kits: Controllers), which is a small processor within the monitor that calculates the position of your finger and then sends a signal via a cable to the serial or USB port of the PC. Apart from this additional cable at the rear, the touch screen monitor looks the same as any other computer display.
