Touch screen on two HDMI display with only one configured as primary display

#1 Post by m4biz »

Hi.
I'm using a multidisplay configuration wich has N.3 32" LG monitor + N.1 uPerfect 15" touch screen monitor.
Actually I've configured the only touch screen monitor as primary display and if I use any Air Manager panel the touch screen work fine on it.
The question is: if adding a second uPerfect 15" touch screen monitor, obviuosly I can't configure it as primary display, but if I launch a second panel on it , does touch screen works even on the second HDMI display ?
Any idea?
Thanks in advance

There's already a previous issue with one monitor not allowing double touch input using exactly the same model wired twice at the same time on a single computer.
So the word is : only ensure by getting in touch with the manufacturer and asking for confirmation, with written certificate it will work as expected, other way would be useless, unless you're seeing them both working at the same time with touch input on both monitors AND you are sure the model is strictly the same as the one you're using already, ahead of your eyes before purchase

Generally it should work. Many of us are using 2 or more touch screens just fine but if using a brand that others may not have experience with then it’s always wise to do as Gilles suggests and ask the manufacturer if 2 can be used on the same computer at the same time.

Ok. Following this post it seems to works configuring the touch screen monitor not as primary display.
Thanks
