Re: [LUG] Spare screen for music

["Grant Sewell" <dcglug@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Apologies for top-posting, I'm sending this from my phone.

I installed a touchscreen add-on for a Samsung NC-10 netbook at work a few weeks ago. It was pretty straightforward and worked well. The accuracy was acceptable but I would not want to use it in the manner that you're thinking - not accrate enough for that in my opinion.

Touch screens can be stupidly expensive, last quote I had was about £350
for a 15" Elo Touch screen which supports serial and USB.

On the other hand, I have seen kits available on eBay which will convert
a standard LCD monitor into a touch screen monitor. I gather they fit
under the bezel as a layer over the LCD panel. Not tried them though so
I can't comment on how good they are.

Looking on eBay quickly I found this shop which does touch screen panels
for various size screens (even some for the Acer Aspire One and EeePC)..

A 17" widescreen panel is about £70 ish, I'd assume that they are all
around this sort of price, give or take £20 or so.
