Touchscreen recommendations

[Snailtrail]

Hi Folks, I'm looking at purchasing a touchscreen to run a small laptop setup to run either Titan 1 or Chamsys software. Looking at the many different options available, it all looks a bit confusing to me. Does anyone have any current product recommendations? The last thread I could find on the subject was from 2012 so I'm guessing things have moved on somewhat since then.

 

Thanks in advance, Sam

I've just bought a Dell 24 Touch Monitor: P2418HT, for exactly this purpose, to replace a venerable IIyama touchscreen. It was recommended on a Jands Vista forum.

 

I have to say I'm very impressed, it's multi touch capable and very responsive. Plug and play on a windows 10 PC.

 

Lists about £300, but shopping around I think I paid about £240.

Hi Sam,

 

For our console training and demonstrations we use Iiyama ProLite T2236MSC-B2...

These are 10 point capacitive multi-touch screens, and are plug and play with Windows 10, so should work for your application too.

Thanks guys. I've gone for the Dell out of the two as I like the look of the mounting system (that was one I had looked at already). Looking forward to teaching myself lighting desks during my down time...

I like the look of the mounting system

 

I bought a VSG Fixed metal mount for touchscreens, POS, and PC monitors / 10–22 inches/Adjustable/Solid metal/Heavy product weight/VESA 100 & 75 / Table mount/Display stands from Amazon to mount on the monitor. It is a heavy base, and folds almost flat behind the screen which makes it great for fitting inside a Peli case for transit.

I'm currently considering a Hanspree HT225 as as it has a built in stand which leaves the VESA mount free so I can mount a NUC to the back of it. Should make for a very neat solution.
