I am not quite sure what the differences would be, other than one would have an overlay on it. Thanks for the help.

I don't know about quality of either way, but you have to ask yourself if you want to bother with applying it yourself. Also as a sidenote carefull with digitalww, according to recent threads the guy has a tendency to fall off a face of the earth for extended periods of time.

thanks for the reply

Ya know, I recently took apart my Zenarc 700TS (touch screen VGA LCD screen) to get measurements for my case and was intrgued to find that the touchscreen was a seperate unit totally that was just samwiched in the case.....

The touch screen appears to be a piece of glass about 1/8" to 1/4" thick with a connection to the controller board... I was expecting it to be a thin adhesive backed filmed applied to the surface of the LCD unit.....

I know, I didn't answer your question... but had to say it anyway

Thanks guys
