Nu-NRG Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I really warmed up for AOC E2239FWT touch screen and SCS Helios ... What do you guys think? Worth it or not? Any experiences regarding touch screen and helios that you can share? Next on the buy list is track ir and rudder pedals. Aviate - Navigate - Communicate
Succellus Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Not owner of touch screen, they are absolutely outpriced here, but i wonder too.

GregP Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I can't immediately find any prices for it online, but have you thought about making your own, i.e. buying a 22" monitor and getting a touchscreen overlay separately? I did that for a 17" -- bought a new monitor cheap, got a touchscreen off of eBay, slipped it under the monitor bezel, and viola, I had a 17" touchscreen for about 60% of the cost of a native touchscreen.
Nu-NRG Posted April 6, 2011 Author Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) In my case I'll pay 72 EUR for the 17" touch overlay and cca 210 EUR for 21,5 inch touch LCD screen in question. As much as I'm DIY guy somewhat I'd prefer a new screen and warranty for that extra 130 EUR :D Doesn't the pressure of bezel impact the touch overlay on the sides? Or are they not sensitive on the edges? Edited April 6, 2011 by Nu-NRG Aviate - Navigate - Communicate
Feed Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Personally, I'd recommend the TrackIR as your first investment ... touchscreen later on.

Succellus Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 I would counsel pro clip, unless you don t use headset or your headset isn t practical for pro clip. Because the normal clip can work with simple aluminium sheets like kitchen aluminium to wrap food. But i may be wrong on this last.
