Thread: touch screen to be cutomized in size?

Unfortunately, you have to get one that is custom made for that size (because it's non-standard). I had a quote for that screen @ $250 (cheapest). That's why I decided to go with a standard size screen.

can i get any information where you got quoted?

If you can find a touchscreen that will fit inside your console, most touchscreens have a programmable usage area.

The software (most) will let you touch the corners of the screen when you first install letting the computer know exactly how big your screen is. So its really a matter of finding one that will fit inside your dash. But you may want to read up on the touchscreens manual before buying.

What screen is that btw? Good luck!

iPal, here's the e-mail I got:

Hi SinnerG (edited),

How is your project going along? The custom touchscreen you inquired about will be do-able. With inside dimensions of 8 1/16 x 4 1/8" and outside dimensions of 8 3/8 x 4 7/8", dimensional tolerance for a hand-tooled sample is about +/- 1/16". The cost for each sample is $250. If you have any questions please call or email me. I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Call them up and ask for one. I believe it also includes the controller, but not sure (it should).
