Touchscreen monitor compatibility

I am assisting in making an iMac computer more accessible for an individual with cognitive and motor impairments. It has been recommended that this individual have touchscreen access, but unfortunately I've had very limited success in determining whether or not there are any 3rd party touchscreen monitors that will be compatible with the iMac. I would love to hear from you kind folks as to whether anyone has had success with this, and if so:
1) Which monitor was purchased?
2) Did this require the purchase of any additional drivers?
The actual purchaser would prefer to go the route of purchasing a separate monitor, rather than a touch-sensitive overlay. Thanks so much in advance!

no. mac's dont have that capability (at least not yet anyway).

Monitor compatibility

Good morning. Can anyone point me to a link on Apple's site for Mac mini monitor compatibility? I'm considering purchasing an Intel Mac mini because I have a monitor that is large and a little old but excellent. It's the ViewSonic CRT PS790 with a 15 pin mini Dhub VGA BNC connector. Will the DVI to ADC adapter work with this monitor?
Thank you.

the 1.83 intel mini nicely handles my 22" Viewsonic LCD at 1650x1050.
I cannot imagine that it could not handle an older CRT at up to 1600x1200--though that might be high for that monitor, that's what my G3 can handle on an old "Sylvania" 19"although I usuall;y use 1024x968 simply so i can see what's being displayed<G>)
Push come to shove, Costco has 19" viewsonic LCD for less than $200

Can I hook my iphone 5 to a touchscreen monitor and use the touchscreen feature of the monitor. Would I have to use the lighting to hdmi?

The connection of the phone to the monitor would allow you to see, but does not have the ability to translate the touch on the monitor to the phone through that cable.

Sceptre monitor compatibility

I have been using my 19" Sceptre Monitor (X19GV-HDTV) off my MBP for a year and it works perfectly. I have since have tried to get it to work with two Mac Mini's, a 2012 model, and a 2010 model, and the monitor gives me the message "Unsupported Mode", after using every adapter and cable, i contacted Sceptre tec support, and now they are suggesting I get from Apple "Monitor Compatibility". Does anyone know where i can find this?

Hi Paul,
Both VGA & HDMI don't work?
Could the Mini's have been set to a higher resolution before attaching this Monitor?
If so try booting up holding the SHIFT key when it's connected.

Wierd monitor compatibility problem

Hi all,
Got a wierd monitor compatibility problem. G3 works fine on a sony 21" CRT.
Connected it to a Daytec 15" CRT which works fine with a windows 98 PC.
With the G3 I get the apple and the spinning up logo then the screen just goes blank.
Is this monitor PC only or something? It is an old monitor but I thought any monitor should work
if the vga connector fits?

So you are using this directly plugged into the stock Display card in a Blue & White G3 with NO adapter?
The Mac is probably still set for a higher resolution that the SONY can do, and has not noticed the display has changed.
Video pros says that Video can be plugged and unplugged all day long with no bad effects. If your old display is still around, try setting it to 640 by 480, save changes, and swap the other one in "live" at that resolution.
Other tricks:
Reset the PRAM. This will send you back to a default setting while booting up, but may change when the system becomes active.
Boot from a CD. This ignores the settings on your Hard drive, and boots to a very simple resolution like 640 by 480 to ensure that Most Macs can start up with it.

Touchscreen Monitor for MacBook Pro

I just bought a 15" Macbook Pro with Parallels 9 and Windows 8. Can anyone recommend a touch screen monitor that I can use with my new workstation? I would like to get rid of my Dell desktop and just use the Macbook Pro for both desktop and laptop use.

You posted in a non-MacBook Pro forum, be that as it may.... I run Windows 8.1 on my Mac and on PCs (and like it very much, thank you).
For price I saw for touchscreen, depends on what if any driver support (Apple is weak on Windows drivers) if you want to go with running Windows natively. Might want to install Windows in its own partition (what apple refers to as "Boot Camp" and has its own forum too) and then point Parallels 9 at the native Windows installation (you get dual boot and use of Windows in VM)

Can I attach a Touchscreen monitor to my W530 laptop to use with Window 8?

I purchased a W530 laptop with WIndows 8. Can I attach an external touchscreen monitor to use the Windows 8 touchscreen feature? I was told by tech people, in office stores, that it wouldn't work becasue Windows 8 looks at your primary display and see it isn't a touchscreen and turns of that feature during bootup. Thanks for the advice in advance.
Solved!

Thanks. I did a search on the Thinkvison LT1423P monitor and it looks like it does what I need.. Thanks for the reference.

Windows 8 + external touchscreen monitor + Adobe Reader full screen = disaster

when you touch a full screen Reader document, it goes out of full screen mode, no matter where you touch it... why?

Can you give more details about your environment? What kind of PC/device are you using, what kind of touchscreen monitor? And what do you mean by "goes out of full screen mode"? What behavior are you seeing exactly?

Programing Software & Touchscreen Monitor

Hey,
I would really like to start building my first applications...
I want to invent a machine that has its mac build in... Now I need two things...
First I want to connect some cheap touchscreen monitor to the mac... Is that possible to use any ones, or are there just special ones for Macs. And how hard is it to install the drivers for this...
My second problem ist, that I need a good Software to start with. in this Machine I just need a few windows with a few bouttons that do something when you click them. What software would you recoment to me. I allready tried a Program called "Supercard" It is ok... but are there any better ones???
And for all those, that do use Supercard... When I try to do for example a skript when you push a boutton... in what programming language are you programming then??? I'm just asking, so that I might order a book to it. And is this language compatible with other programming softwares or does everyone has its own...
I know that this are just a lot of questions... Thank you so much for an answer
-Marc

Marc,
While I'm afraid that I can't help your solution, I'd like to point you towards some fantastic Mac developers that also happen to be German. The guys over at http://codingmonkeys.de/ do some fantastic work, and they may be able to provide you with some answers in your native tongue.
This suggestion is in no way intended to turn you away from these forums! The more the merrier, and good luck to you!

Touchscreen monitor Windows 7 doesn't scroll library grid?

A big bummer that in the library grid mode (or any other scrollable part of lightroom) I can't scroll with my touchscreen monitor like I can in IE or Chrome or Word etc.?? What is touchscreen compatible in lightroom? I would love for lightroom to be touchscreen friendly.

When using Windows 7 built-in touchscreen/tablet functionality with a multi-touch compatible monitor, most larger popular programs will let you scroll vertically by just sliding your finger up or down anywhere within the active window, just like an ipad to scroll up or down. You don't have to use the scroll bars on the edge of the window which makes it nice to work through web pages, pdf files, word files etc. Lightroom 3's library grid scrolls up and down, BUT you cant just finger slide up or down within the window area like most other programs, you have to resort to using the default small scroll bars on the side of the grid (which are too small for finger-touch sliding. thus killing the functionality of the touchscreen monitor).
I am slightly hand impaired from doing tons of mousework but can work through many pages by touch. I know that lightroom is not built as a "touch-enabled" program (most aren't) but I was hoping, at least, the scrolling functionality that works with most others would work with lightroom.
I own an Acer t231h 23" HD monitor with multi-touch capability with windows 7 64bit running an Intel I5 with 8gbs Ram, with a second 23" Dell monitor. The acer monitor lays at 30degrees on my table and so I can stand over it and easily take care of business (still using mouse for 50% of work).

Touchscreen monitor and photoshop

I've tried drawing with a stylus on my touchscreen monitor, but it doesn't work on CS6 (it pans instead). I've been able to draw in previous versions. Is there a setting I can adjust or anything?

I looked at an HP touchsceen computer in a local store a few days ago. The whole things consited of the screen, with CPU, memory etc. and a keyboard. I thought about doing photoshop with it, and did not like the idea of have to hold your hand up in front of you, and wondered how precise your control might be. It also occured to me that such a screen would have drivers like an Intuos that could identify which program was active, and be set up to react accordingly. But I don't see it catching of for Photoshop. OK I was sold on the idea of the big Ciniq screens that could easily by moved into the horizontal and used like a tablet, but not a regular monitor.
Oh dear. I think I just failed an early test for madness, because I just tied drawing on my monitor with my finger.

Touchscreen monitors for Windows 8 ?

I have a hp desktop and monitor and was wondering if HP will be releasing a touchscreen monitor for windows 8. They did a TS monitor afew years ago but discontinued it.
If windows 8 if designed more for this hands-on approach, i would think all manufacturers would start producing touchscreen monitors. I understand you can buy all-in-ones, but not everyone wants or has one of these.

Currently, HP and many other manufacturers have touch screen monitors for sale. Support for Windows 8 should be native in many cases or require a driver download when available.
