Hello,
Which touch screens (manufacture and model number) will work with the edge controller HDMI port?
Viewsonic seem to work pretty well. Some off-brand Chinese stuff works as well.
FW26 seems to have the best results with various options.
Screen needs to have HDMI for video plus USB for touch.

If the touchscreen does not have an external power input (i.e. it only gets its power through the USB port), you can use an externally powered USB hub in-between the Edge Controller and the touchscreen. This should broaden the available panels to almost anything with HDMI and USB-touch. The Edge Controller by itself will not power the panel via USB.

FYI, when using a third-party touchscreen with the Edge Controller, the visualizations will need to be TargetVisu rather than WebVisu.
NicholasF, did you have any calibration issues when using the Hope Industrial screen? I am hearing a report from another client that their calibration is way off when connected to an Edge Controller but works fine when the same panel is connected to a Windows device. I’ve been searching for a way to recalibrate within the Edge Controller but have had no luck.
