About Touch Screen Displays

Touch screen displays are the most user-friendly PC interface. They are input devices, a way to communicate with the PC. The user touches the screen to select options presented on the screen. Associated hardware and software are used to determine the location of the press.  Touch screen displays can be either internally mounted, or externally mounted on an existing screen.  An internally mounted screen is a touch screen input device that is designed to be installed on the inside of a PC monitor. It is commonly a touch sensitive glass panel that uses a touch screen controller and a software driver to interface with a PC system. The internal touch screen requires a sometimes-technical installation, as the monitor needs to be opened and in some cases the touch screen controller needs to be wired to a power source inside the monitor.  An external touch screen panel is a touch screen input device that is designed to mount on the outside of a PC monitor. The external touch screen does not require any difficult installation or opening of the monitor. It is commonly a touch sensitive glass panel that uses an external touch screen controller and a software driver to interface with a PC system.
