    yeah good luck... I wish I could help you on price but I don't know. I work for a distributor that sells that manufacturer's products but we don't carry the touch overlays so I'm clueless as far as price.

    we have one of those touch LCD screens in our office... they are nice.

    Phire: You have to contact head puba grand master K for hat distribution :hehe: I don't see an email where did you send it?

    jcy: Welcome to the forums :thumb:

    thanks eddie_dane :D
    touch overlays? is that what those things are called? would you know if they actually sold them to comsumers? they seem geared to product manufacturers oem's only even the contact section had like bulk stuff only.
    what do you guys sell the touch monitors? what are the price range of those? thanks again.

    yeah, you're pretty dead on about who the customer's are for the touch overlays.. mainly OEM providers but there is a slight market for end users to convert existing screens.. at least there used to be, not sure how available they are for end users now.

    To give you some perspective... a 17" TFT Touch LCD Screen like on that website would fetch $1,200 retail.... TFT 15" would run in the nieghborhood of $980 retail.
