[MCN-L] Any reccs on Mac OS-compatible touch screens?
Hey hive mind! I'm looking for a decent Mac OS-compatible touchscreen monitor for an upcoming exhibition. We've used Trolltouch modified iMacs in the past. but we're not wedded to an all-in-one solution. All the screens I've looked at make no mention of Mac compatibility. Anybody out have any luck? I like the look and specs of 3M screens like the 3M? Multi-Touch Display M2167PW. Any suggestions appreciated. Cheers, Ed -- Ed Rodley Associate Director of Integrated Media *Peabody Essex Museum *East India Square Salem, MA 01970 Office 978 542 1849 @erodley

Hi Ed, We have a lot of 3M C2167PW screens (http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Electronics_NA/Electronics/Pro ducts/Touch_Systems/~/Multi-Touch-Displays?N=5153295+3294356546rt=rud) running off of Mac Minis and have had pretty good success so far.

We're going to be using an assortment of Elo Touch screens with Mac minis and Mac Pro's, the latest models are working out great. Earlier models had some issues with responsiveness and multi-touch but they seem to have over come that, they are definatly worth checkout out and seeing if they meet your needs. http://www.elotouch.com/ *Gord Currie* Programmer Analyst | Programmeur-analyste Canadian Museum for Human Rights | Mus?e canadien pour les droits de la personne 85 Israel Asper Way Winnipeg (Manitoba) R3C OL5 T. 204.289.2174 F. 204.289.2001 TTY | ATS: 204.289.2050 Toll Free | Sans frais: 1.877.877.6037 On Thu, Jun 26, 2014 at 10:30 AM, Ed Rodley ed_rodley at pem.org wrote: Hey hive mind!

Ed, are you specifically looking for multi-touch capabilities? How many touches? We use ELO Touchmonitors ( http://www.elotouch.com/Products/LCDs/default.asp ) with Mac Minis in many exhibits. The Mac support is actually pretty good. The ELOs support the Touch Base UPDD drivers for OS X ( http://touch-base.com/documentation/MacOSXPlatformNotesV5.htm ). Using the UPDD Gestures driver ( http://touch-base.com/documentation/gestures.htm ) I've been able to get some basic muti-touch gestures to work on a Mac too. ELOs are great because they have robust glass fronts that we don't have to protect. Open frame models can be mounted in cabinets or walls, while the desktop models can be mounted out on their own. We've also used PQ Labs' multitouch overlays to turn bigger displays into multitouch devices, but my personal experience with these is only in Windows. They do say they support Macs ( http://multitouch.com/product.html ).

Thanks, all! I'll take another look at the ELOs, as well as the 3Ms. We don't need multitouch for this installation, but it'd be good to have that capability for future purposes. Y'all rock!

I was pointed to these a while ago http://www.iiyama.com/gb_en/products/prolite-tf1932mc-1/, available drivers are listed on the bottom. And this http://touch-base.com/ would be a solution if you need an extra driver e.g for the 3M screen Anika On Thu, Jun 26, 2014 at 3:04 PM, Ed Rodley ed_rodley at pem.org wrote: Thanks, all!
