Touch Screen Recommendations

I like the looks of that touch screen. What distro are you using? Did you use wheezy the install ISO/Linuxcnc?

I'm looking at purchasing a Planar PXL2230MW. I'm hoping it will be plug and play as well. I do plan on installing Linux mint LMDE 2 so it should have the same support.

I found a used PXL2230MW locally for only $60. It was plug and play as well. I am saving the other one for my Mori Seiki lathe retrofit and will be using the 2230 for my mill.

It feels similar to my other Planar although having the raised plastic frame around the edge does make it a bit difficult to touch items near the edge (or maybe it's just my "thick" fingers. I'm more than pleased with it so far.

hi, i am using this model too , but cant figure how to install driver on ubuntu 14.04 , can you help me please ?

What model touch screen do you have? If its the Planar that I have you just have to calibrate it.

I just purchased an Asus VT207N. I wanted 16:9 wide-screen resolution for linuxcnc. The planar worked very well and was easy to set-up, I just needed a widescreen.

The Asus VT207N worked very well after issuing the command:
afterwards I had to put this statment into my /etc/rc.local file (before the “exit” statement)
Works very well and was basically plug and play. I purchased it from ebay for 130$USD and new is approx 180$USD.
It works very well and Its a HUGE difference going to wide-screen with linuxcnc than 4:3. If you are looking for a touch screen recommendation then look no further! This one is a winner folks 1600x900 resolution.

Iiyama prolite T2236MSC-B2 22-inch touch screen here. Worked right out of the box. Hdmi and usb plugged in in jessie, no extra drivers or anything. Really nice to work with instead of a mouse. There is an extra plastic sheet integrated in front of the display, maybe they all have. 16:9 so a bit wide screen.
