These new Alogic displays are basically a touchscreen Mac workaround

The topic These new Alogic displays are basically a touchscreen Mac workaround is currently the subject of lively discussion — readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies’ decisions and competitors’ reactions can quickly change the picture.

Apple still has not released a touchscreen Mac, though macOS 27 Golden Gate suggests the company is at least preparing its desktop software for more touch-friendly interactions. Until that turns into actual Mac hardware, Alogic is trying to fill the gap with a new lineup of external displays that bring touch and stylus controls to macOS and Windows setups.

The company unveiled the products at InfoComm 2026 in Las Vegas, including the Fokus wall-mounted touchscreens, Aspekt Touch 27-inch monitor, Folio portable displays, and Active Stylus. Windows users have had plenty of touchscreen monitor options for years, but Mac users usually need extra software to get similar behavior from an external display. Alogic says its software allows users to tap through the interface, mark up content, draw, and use a stylus on supported screens.

That is the main idea behind Alogic’s new lineup. The Fokus models are the biggest of the bunch and are designed for meeting rooms, classrooms, and shared workspaces where people may want to present, annotate, or sketch directly on a large screen. They come in 43-inch, 55-inch, and 65-inch sizes, all with 4K panels and support for multitouch input.

For users who want something for a desk rather than a wall, the Aspekt Touch 27-inch is likely the more practical option. It is a smaller version of Alogic’s existing 32-inch touch monitor and is closer in size to Apple’s Studio Display. It has a 4K panel, 600 nits of brightness, 100% sRGB coverage, USB-C docking, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, Ethernet, and 90W charging. It will be available in Silver and Space Black, with Raise, Fold, and Omni stand options.

The Folio range is designed for users who need extra screen space away from a fixed desk. The regular Folio gives users one 16-inch QHD touch panel, while the Folio Duo adds a second screen and can be used in either a vertical stack or a wider dual-screen layout. That could make it more useful for MacBook users who travel but still want a multi-screen setup.

These products are clearly not priced for casual buyers. The Fokus 43-inch, 55-inch, and 65-inch models cost $2,799, $3,299, and $3,999, respectively. The Aspekt Touch 27-inch starts at $1,799.

The Folio costs $899, while the Folio Duo costs $1,299. Alogic’s Active Stylus with wireless charging costs $149, and the Iris 2 4K autofocus webcam costs $199. The Aspekt Touch 27-inch and Active Stylus arrive in July 2026, while the Fokus, Folio, and Iris 2 are expected by September.
