I contacted the guy selling them, and sure they work once you go and buy the controller and wiring kit from an outside source i.e. earthlink or anywhere else that sells the kit ( $150-200)

i believe these are only 4096 colors. not sure how dvd or movies would look on that. probably fine for general computer stuff.

well, it is a good price for a new touch screen, total price to get it running will be about $180 - $230 (and a fair amount of time) there are people however who have purchased used touchscreens that were prewired for $200 - $300 (and a few even cheaper than that), so if you are up for wiring the screen it is a great price, if you know nothing or very little about electronics then this is probably not the screen for you
