Re: [Emc-users] OT: 'touch' screen

I Agreed that other than to see if you can make it work it is not worth

I believe that he wanted a 19-inch screen so maybe:

I have had a Monoprice 106959 17-inch monitor on my PathPilot (LinuxCNC
derivative) system for years and it works great but the monitor appears to
have been discontinued.
