Re: Options for TouchScreen Display

["Alancc" <alan.cc@xxxxxxx>]

I tried a small LCD with composite in from a TV out card and its crap.

I ended up using a couple of 10" VGA displays that were on the list a
while
back these were supplied with a driver card for the PC an old Pentium which
is tucked away in the cupboard. Control of the browser is from a wireless
mouse.

It may not be as neat as a touch screen but its a hell of a lot cheaper.
I have it running VNC at the moment to control the CJD jukebox software so
I
can select disks and playlists from the bedroom and kitchen.

Next thing is to interface it with HV.
