Our touch screen interface has a top and side bar with 4-5 standard buttons
each. It also has 6-8 icons as buttons in the main window. We use a 19inch
screen. I would recommend 19 inch if it is with an exhibit. Bigger screens
may take away from the exhibit. If it is a stand alone object bigger may be
better.

Think in terms of the required size of the touch points. We just used a 19"
ELO for an exhibit because it included an on-screen "keyboard." To keep the
"buttons" from getting too small 19" was about the minimum. But if your
activity only needed a few touch points 12" might be just fine.

Thanks so much for all the great input! Now I have a follow-up question, an
age-old one - does size matter? (Many of you mentioned 17" screens - would
they be better than 12")?

Hi all,
Does anyone here have recommendations for touch screens (brand/model) with
which you've had little/no problems?
Thanks,
Keith
