Touch screen for a Mac Mini?

I'm looking to buy a Mac Mini for music production and want to do something kinda out of the norm. I wanna get a 32" (perferrably) touch screen monitor to use with the Mac to eliminate the need for a keyboard and mouse. Does anyone know of a good touch screen monitor that will work well with a Mac Mini?

Thanks in advance.

Just in case anyone else finds this thread...


After a lot of research I settled on the PQ Labs G4S Multi-Touch Screen 32" (http://multitouch.com/product.html) which is an overlay, not a screen per se... and a Samsung ME32C LED LFD (http://www.samsung.com/us/business/displays/digital-signage/LH32MECPLGA/ZA). Both are available in other sizes. Samsung provide their own overlay solution - previously by Nexio, currently by AFO - but the G4S provides dual- or multi-touch for OSX. Some gestures work, some may not, I only have the dual-touch version as that is all I needed. Currently using it on Mountain Lion 10.8.5.

Hi Brendan,


I'm wondering if you might be able to help me get my Acer T242HN touch screen working correctly with Gestures? I have purchased the licenced version of the base drivers and they work fine with simple point and click. When I try and install the Gestures.app, it doesn't seem to install and run at all.


Any advice would be appreciated.


Regards,


Neil

Hi Spindleweb,


Try these links.


Gesture support under Mac OS X is documented here: http://touch-base.com/documentation/Gestures.htm#_Mac_OS_X



TUIO Server support under Mac OS X is documented here: http://touch-base.com/documentation/TUIO.htm#_Mac_OS_X



I ran into some trouble when setting these up myself. I slightly remeber that you had to open the zip file and install the Gestures app. Gestures is a purchased add-on. Then you had to move it into the Utilities folder with the base-drivers and make sure the TUIO Server is running which is part of the zip file. You can adjust the setting for the Gestures from the icons on the top of your screen that show things that are running. One icon should be a little hand pointing and the other should be a black and white Tui shaped like a circle.


I also had to put some add in called Greasemonkey into Firefox to make the scrolling functtion work better online. I am not that technical with computers. You can also email Dave from Touch-Base at

The Gestures will work once you get it setup. Dave was very helpful in getting everything setup correctly. Good-Luck. Let me know how you make out.
