Hi!

I am wondering if anybody has tried to use a plasma screen for multitouch? I have seen examples in this forum that people have tried lcd screens but not plasma. Is there anything with the plasma technology that makes it unusable for multitouch?

Best regards

Yes I believe you can, some people did it, however I haven’t seen anybody here on the forum actually showing it

If anyone tries to use a plasma screen, dont ever lay it down horizontally, the screen could be damaged by doing that. It has to do with two layers of glass that shouldnt touch each other, which might occur if it is stored or used horizontally.
