Pros: Arrived in one piece. Works nearly exactly how I wanted it to. Was fairly simple to install in the housing of the original LCD screen I used. Had no problems getting my computer to find it or calibrating it. More durable than I thought considering I cracked it while installing it, and it still works completely fine.
Cons: It is kind of difficult to figure out which way the wire connects from the screen to the controller board, but with a little common sense you should be able to figure it out.The ribbon cable coming from the LCD also seems as if it is going to break, but I have not had a problem.
Other Thoughts: Do not tighten down whatever you are putting it into, because the thing will crack. I think I just got lucky that mine still works. I used the driver that nordemoniac2 suggested and had no problems calibrating it or using it. Worked like a charm.
Bottomline: I was suggest this to anyone with a little mechanical knowledge that would like to make a touchscreen monitor for whatever you would like. It was very simple to install and works exactly as it should.
Pros: works great with the carpc software, wonderfull commnection with the pc.it was pretty easy to install the software.
Cons: the screen is very breakable, the first one i got was broken.but after the second arrived i discoverd a hole new life - touch!you have to now how to work with the pc and how to cilabrate the screen otherwise it wont work as well as it should
Other Thoughts: it will be nice if it will be packged in some box then will protect it on the way.
Bottomline: great product if you now how to work with your pc, otherwise it will be a hard work to install it
Pros: Arrived in one piece (first try) - that's always good. Software is excellent. I don't have a 7" monitor, so i'm using it like a tablet. You can use fingers, stylus, whatever. It is quite accurate, does the job. The software lets you set any portion of the screen to be active with the tablet. A corner, a half, a rectangle 100 pixels to the left and 200pixels down of 160x100 or whatever, the combination is endless.
Cons: Will probably get damaged easily if you're not putting it in a 7" monitor casing. I'd suggest a 5x7 photo frame or something (its halfway between a 4x6 and a 5x7 ~4.25 x 6.5
Other Thoughts: Be sure to calibrate the screen after any changes. Depending on the orientation of the tablet, you calibrate it to read properly whether vertical or horizontal. Just hold down on the corner indicated until it beeps, and repeat for the 4 corners it asks.
Bottomline: Great buy for a 7" touchscreen or as a cheap tablet (which can be used in the future for a 7" monitor, or can be used for a partial touchscreen when placed over a larger monitor)
Pros: I used this for my carputer 7" LCD screen. Easy to install, both hardware- and software-wise. Responds well, both with fingertapping and with a stylus. Software that comes with it supports most windows releases expect vista (I have NOT tried though!). For linux drivers, check out discussion forums for asus eee pc. Software makes this kit VERY configurable. You can easily configure how to make double clicks, right-button clicks and anything else you would expect from a proffesional soft-/hardware brand.
Cons: On third delivery, the flat connector cable from the film was not as wide as on the picture, but the connector on the circuit board was wide. This forced me to do some soldering work.
Other Thoughts: For widescreen monitors only. Remember not to thighten screws in screen housing too much, as this will push on the screen and make it impossible to use.
Bottomline: This is a DIY product, it works GREAT for those who are able to understand how it works and connects. But it could be difficult to work out for those with less knownledge about similar products.
