Thanks for the advice!
As long as I go with a 1920x1080 monitor, is that all QTDragon needs - or am I missing something?
The existing control panel on this machine is a really nice cast aluminum (?) enclosure. I'd like to just keep it, gut it, and stuff an open frame industrial monitor in it. It will fit somewhere between a 12" and 13" open frame monitor. Do you think that will be big enough - or will I find myself having to get stronger "cheaters" and constantly fat-fingering the QTDragon interface?
Yes 1080p is required for qtdragpn_hd. Mine was 1536pixels and not supported by any of the QTdragon versions.
I don't think you will get a 12-13" 1080p monitor. It was hard enough getting a 15.6in one to replace a nice flush mount one in an enclosure I madebut I shoehorned one in
