Thread: "Transflective" LCD panel with res touch+controler for $101+$36 S+H

But unlike a capicitive screen, you can use the stylus in windows to touch those tiny file icons, where a capicitive screen would be more finicky because your fingertip covers 4 or 5 icons at a time if using a minimal working windows 8 resolution.

That aside, I would like to have a multitouch driver for this screen so I could slide screens in windows 8. The current driver acts like a mouse pointer instead of a multi touch screen.

Thanks for sharing

correct. resistive is more accurate. another reason we keep this resistive version is because it can work under cold environment.

Edit: tested, but NO multitouch.

Thanks for sharing

Replacement Controller and back-light for my screen are in, and working nicely!
thanks Derrick!

You can't make a resistive touch screen into a multi touch by changing drivers.

There are some 2 point "multi" touch resistive panels out there, but the y are poor quality. Think 39.99 ebay 7" android.

Only a panel that was made to be touch simultaneously with 2 or more fingers can operate that way.

The resistve panel is more accurate, however they are cheap, reflective, back light blocking and easily scratched. Not to mention debris or pressure can set off false touches.

Derrick uses them because the LCD's he has stock piled came with them from the factory. Not that this is bad, but just pointing out why he uses them over something better.

Took delivery of a 2DIN IN DASH 7" Samsung HDMI version today with button bar, Is there a manual or anything anywhere for this?

Didn't notice where the HDMI would get connected. Also several other usb and other miscellaneous cables are included which i don't know what to do with..

It arrived quick and looks very nice, just a little intimidating or maybe confusing not having any sort of literature to figure out what goes where

At work so can' t help till later, but the wirind diagram is a photo on their ebay site, and starting on page 137 of this topic the info starts being posted.

Cool, I'll start there. I saw pics of the HDMI version of this in a few posts (I think one was yours), and I'm starting to think I was sent the VGA version. There's nowhere to plug in an HDMI connector no matter what cables I use

Did you pay 158.00 or 195.00 The vga is 158 the hdmi is 195 SNO

I paid the 195 - and it's much more obvious after checking out rrays build that I got the VGA version.
