IR touch screen frame vs normal touch screen? - LinuxCNC Forum

- # by Aaroncnc IR touch screen frame vs normal touch screen? was created by Aaroncnc So i have been looking a good solution for a touch interface for my mill.
I am also on the hunt for a economical solution.

my requirements are somewhat high.
i need it to be p res
i prefer it to be over 22"

When i have looked up touch screen monitors in that fit the bill they seem to be about 300$
with the exception of this monitor at 170$ www.newegg.com/p/2NY--

The next option is a IR touch frame about 100$ after shipping (I have many old 23in monitors.)

I have been trying to find a used touch screen but nothing yet.

So has any one tried one of these frames?
I have seen them used when people make those smart mirrors out of normal TVs but thats about it.

# by andypugh Replied by andypugh on topic IR touch screen frame vs normal touch screen? I suggest keeping a watch on eBay. I recently bought "iiyama ProLite TMSC 22" Full HD Touchscreen Monitor Display with Speakers" for £180.

It was as-new in an opened box, still with the stickers attached.

Most of these use infrared rather than capacitive touch (which would require a separate glass / plastic layer on top of the screen) which I had heard was not as good as regular touch screens and can suffer from interference. However you can get multi-point touch overlays now and the reviews are generally pretty good from what I can see at Amazon.

No actual experience with them, though. I guess you could try it out and return it if it’s not up to scratch?

Appreciate the feedback. I’ve been watching videos etc and it may not be perfect but I can put my 27" to use for a LOT less than buying a new touchscreen. My layout is not perfect for multiple monitors (like 2 or 3 15.6 touchscreens because I have the tobii and it has to be mounted on the bottom of my main monitor and nothing can block it. The existing 27" is to the side of the main monitor and with that much screen space, i should be able to handle everything I want to “pop out” from Air manager. Now I just need a really good simple DIY kit for a knobster … LOL . Or I’ll just drop the $99.00 for a new one.

Just wanted to ask you a follow up months later for a longer term review, do you still enjoy using the overlay? I was just doing the same exercise as you, I found a 32" Ultrawide overlay and was curious about how your experience with your own was. It was an IR overlay correct?

Well it stopped working on my win11 machine but it’s not the overlay as it works fine on my win10 machine. Really baffling. I even had Geek squad remotely look at my PC and they couldn’t fix it. They suggested I bring the OPC in send go back to win10 but that sounds a stretch as it worked great on Win11 up until10 days ago !!
