Touchscreens

K

Hey everybody.

I'm in the market for some studio touchscreens. XP boxes.

Do you have any advice on brands, models, sizes? Any you want to donate?

Thanks
JR
 
Dell actually uses quite nice panels in their monitors. They routinely receive high marks for image quality... Of course, these are the 'sold separately' models, but they have superb viewing angles and color reproduction.
 
If you're using them for "radio automation" it will cost about a 3rd more than list.
A payment to the "inventor" of touch screens used for radio automation.

Only if you buy said touch screen from a radio automation provider.
 
True!
Don't have to say where you got them.
Touch are screens becoming the norm (now for Windows 8 ). The patent trolls will have to start going door to door to see if you paid them for the use on POS (point of sale) & radio automation devices (among others).
 
I installed the control room touchscreens at the new WNEW in DC last year, and we used ELO, I think supplied from CDW. They were big and heavy, 17" or 19", USB interface, and I think it was the Acoustic Wave version. This means all of the "touch layers" between the user & LCD are clear glass panels, so the picture is bright & clear, you can clean it with windex like a window, and it lasts a long, long time. Resistive membranes yellow with time & high use, and dim the passivity of image light ever so slightly. Same thing with some capacitive units. Installation was as easy as plugging in a mouse, it's USB plug-n-pray.

There's a utility you can install to calibrate the touch accuracy and turn on various features like tap-lock and margin-scroll. And you can leave the regular mouse plugged in for when fine work needs to be done. Any given Windows box can have a multitude of USB human-interface devices installed at once - keyboards, mice, trackballs, touchscreens, handicapped accessibility devices, etc. They all "listen" at the same time and operate in parallel.

I *think* it was this model. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824217165
 
...it was for the BURLI news software, and MotionMixes. It took me a few minutes for the marbles to roll into rows and remember those names.
