The PT2245PW is plug and play on the Weezy iso.

It have a very good quality screen.

and a very reasonable price under 300€...

I am starting on my retrofit and I am using an ACER T232HL touchscreen that I got at Staples for $311 USD with a 20% coupon. I had to go with Linux Mint LMDE2 to get both my network card and the touchscreen working, but since I plan on only doing this once I figured I would go with a newer version of Linux and not a version that is 6 years old like Ubuntu 10.04. The Touchscreen has a 1 inch black border and then a clear plastic base that is bolted on across the bottom to raise the screen off the desk giving it the look of being free hanging in the air. I am thinking about drilling holes in the clear plastic piece and mounting some of my panel switches and indicator lights in it. If I paint the back side black afterwards it should give it a good look and the paint would be scratch proof.

Just bought Planar PT1945R 19" LCD Touchscreen. It's advertised to run with Linux. Also got it at a steal. 62$ shipped!!

Now it's advertised as fully functional. I guess I'll have to see. When deals are this good...

Is resistive OK? I thought capacitive would be better although my comparative experience is limited to smart phones. Does resistive require a stylus or finger nails?

What is a resistive touchscreen?

Resistive touchscreens work on the basis of pressure applied to the screen. A resistive screen consists of a number of layers. When the screen is pressed, the outer later is pushed onto the next layer — the technology senses that pressure is being applied and registers input. Resistive touchscreens are versatile as they can be operated with a finger, a fingernail, a stylus or any other object.

For the price I'm going to try and make it work for me. I would have preferred for a capacitive touchscreen.
