[QUOTE="AtomAnt, post: 295241"] Greetings. First of all, sorry if i do anything wrong, but i'm new to forums and also am new to MediaPortal. So to get to the point, i would like to know if it was possible to use a secondary touch-screen display with MediaPortal to display information and to control MediaPortal. What i am talking about is something like iMon's Touch LCD screen. I already have a HTPC and -of course- it has no touch screen mounted on it, but i am wonderig if i could get a 7" screen, connect it to my graphic card's VGA output, connect the touch-part to USB (which basicly is like an usb mouse as far as i know) and use it with MediaPortal. It would have 2 advantages: first, i wouldn't have to turn on my "big" TV screen only to listen to mp3 or to get weather information or such, and second, it would look and feel very nice. I contacted SoundGraph and asked them if it was possible to get an iMon LCD screen from them but it was a no-go, and i do not wish to spend more money on getting a case with a built-in screen than what i have spent on my whole HTPC altogether, especially since i already have a case. Also, simply using desktop cloning wouldn't work since i want to use my primary display in its native resolution which is 1920x1080 and there aren't too many small LCD screens that would support that resolution (frankly i haven't found any yet).
