bear in mind, higher resolution on a same sized screen, means smaller images. My laptop (now dead) touch screen is hd but just 15.6", which makes the the icons too small for touch use really. Of course a desktop screen will be much bigger, but bear in mind bot the size and resolution when buying. If the same resolution is available on a larger screen, it may make touch much more useful for you.
I've never tried a stylus on a touch screen. I assume they will work, and be better than my thick fingers.
