It seems like every week I do another Google search for a 10 inch touch display that would be compatible with RPI / Openplotter.
Everything I find seems to have some show-stopper flaw that I just can't live with. There are a couple that look okay, but would require some sort of boat-proof case be constructed, as they are clearly not designed for a marine environment. Original prices run in the $120 range, plus whatever I spend to get it mounted properly:
Eleduino 10.1 " 1280800 Raspberry Pi IPS Touchscreen Display LCD HDMI Input With Case and Stand
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6SPGD7/ref...PB0VAXZFRG
Waveshare Raspberry Pi 10.1inch HDMI LCD Capacitive Touch Screen with Case for Raspberry Pi 2 / 3 - Black
https://www.amazon.com/Waveshare-10-1inc...EVMCYJEKV9
Another that looks interesting, albeit more expensive, is:
Lilliput Fa1000-np/c/t 9.7" 5-wire Resistive Touch Screen Monitor with Hdmi, Dvi, VGA & Av Input By Viviteq INC
https://www.amazon.com/Lilliput-Fa1000-n...B008GUVH62
This one is a resistive touch screen, they have a capacitive touch version for about $40 more.
None of these would support multi-touch, I suspect. As far as I know, the only display that supports multi-touch is the 7" display from the Raspberry Pi foundation.
So, I'd like to hear from the community:
- Are you using a dedicated display? If so, what is it?
- Do you use touch? How is it working for you?
- Is a 10" display really that much better, or can I get by with a 7" display?
- Should I just continue to use my VNC/headless arrangement?
