I'm looking to buy a Mac Mini for music production and want to do something kinda out of the norm. I wanna get a 32" (perferrably) touch screen monitor to use with the Mac to eliminate the need for a keyboard and mouse. Does anyone know of a good touch screen monitor that will work well with a Mac Mini?
Thanks in advance.
The answer is YES. MAC's do work with all touch screen monitors once you download the free drivers.
I have a Mac Mini and a Mac book pro both of which are connect to the same Acer Touch Screen Monitor. I am using it as write this to you.All you need to do is download the free drivers from www.touch-base.com. The basic touch drivers are free. I also purchase the mac gesture drivers for $109 USD and they work great. You can even activate the on screen keyboard in the mac accessibility settings which allows you to have a touch screen keyboard. I also run Parallels with windows 8.1 and when I switch from Mac to PC, both touch screens work perfect. The support staff at touch-base is great.

I spoke to customer service for Planar and they said that this model should work as a normal touchscreen for Apple products.
Thanks Eric. Wow that's pricey. We are only needing a 15 inch or so. "Should work" is not the same as "Confirmed compatibility" and that scares me. Any other leads?
That's all I have found so far. "Should" made me a little hesistant as well. I believe they have smaller models as well. That's just the size I was looking for and bookmarked.
I'm using a USB + VGA touch screen with my Mac Mini, but not having multi touch means it has serious limitations.
eGalax Touch is the driver that works for me. Give it a go.

ViewSonic makes an excellent touch screen LED monitor.
