[QUOTE="neelex, post: 535868, member: 89691"] Hi, I wrote about the plugin in another thread, but maybe it fits better at this place. I have tried "Touchscreen LCD display Plugin" and it works fine for me (7" TFT as second monitor). I must say, till now I have only tried to use the information screen (not the touch function) as I have a MCE remote. The intention is to have a small display with which you can control Mediaportal. I don't want to start the big 42" LCD for every time i want to hear music or change track etc. Now to the issue: Even if the "Touchscreen LCD display Plugin" works fine, [B]it takes 60-70% CPU utilization on a idle mediaportal home screen[/B] (AMD 4650e) :eek: With the plugin disabled, it takes about 10%. Is that a bug or a unavoidable result of such a plugin? It's a pitty, that the plugin is no longer maintained. It's the perfect plugin for me, but a CPU utilization of about 50% to 55% for the plugin is not acceptable :( Do I need to buy a VFD and use the minidisplay plugin or is there any alternative that can show a 2 lines information on the second display like the LCD display plugin does?
