I know nothing about touchscreens.

I need to buy a touchscreen for a small project at work. It should be at least 12" and lie flat on a desk. I have no clue what's good in this area, so does anyone have recommendations?

Evening bump.

Will this be hooked up to a computer? I know there are transparent overlays that can be put over any screen that function as touchpads and they plug into the usb port of the computer.

What a utterly useless post, OpteronGuy. What's the point of quoting someone when they say "budget?" If they had an opinion and you shared this opinion, than yeah, just quoting someone like that is fine. But your post has no point because you could just wait for him to reply to the first guy if you have the exact same question This confirms my belief that you are a post whore.

To respond to the thread..look into Toshiba. I think they make tablet PC's. If it's not a big project, than I think anything should be fine.

This will be hooked up to a computer. I just need it to function as a monitor; I think a Tablet PC is overkill, but thanks for the advice. Budget is pretty wide open.

I wouldn't mess with an overlay. They make monitors with touchscreens built in. They're expensive compared to regular monitors but still under $1000.

Does anyone have any experience with these touchscreen monitors? Hearsay isn't really what I'm looking for. Capacitive vs. Resistive, for instance. Brands, etc.
