LCD Touch Screen Resolution

aserhal · 2006-05-09, 01:21

Does anyone have experience with the 8" 640x480 LCD Touch Screens for Media Portal?

I only use MP for music and pictures and do not use the TV/PVR functions. So I want to be able to go through my music catalog without turning on the TV.

Is the 640x480 resolution good enough to navigate MP and play music (I would still like to see the album covers)?

Thanks in advance!

The standard MP skins are designed for PAL resolution, 720x576, so you're not too far under that. Why don't you try setting the resolution on your desktop PC to 640x480 and see what happens?

I know there are guys out there with touchscreens somewhere :wink:
