Steady Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Hi All I am looking at building a custom cabinet, not sure yet if will bother with a coin slot and payout on the first build so going fairly simple. Question is what size touch screen works best, can it be too big, looking currently around 32", any makes/models that are particularly good? Also sorry if this has been asked before but not seen it, has anyone used two screens split, does it work or is it just too complicated to set up? Thanks in advance Steady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spa Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 I made a two screen one years ago. It looked mint! But a right pain to make layouts for it. 1 https://www.facebook.com/groups/264122764904452/?epa=SEARCH_BOX Fruit Machine Discussion - Facebook Group.

Steady Posted May 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Thanks spa, thought it may be a step to far with two screens, will stick to a single for the moment then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene02 Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Playing fruities on a touchscreen will become very uncomfortable long term. Ideally you want a separate touch screen button panel. I priced up an ultra wide 15” that would cater just for the button panel, it was extremely expensive for a home project. Think screen res 1280x300. So button panel flat and a bigger 22” portrait touchscreen for the main glasses. This would be the optimal way for mfme to be played in relative comfort over longer sessions.

J Thanks A:E, I have decided I am going for a 23" touch main screen and going to toy around with a few different ways to use real buttons for the most.

M I’m selling a 27” Acer 10 point touchscreen mate, let me know if you are interested. I was using it for a time but I never really got round to much with it. The screen has a crack in the corner of bezel, doesn’t affect anything as it’s nowhere near the touchscreen area. Mine is the Acer T272HL 27”. Its 1080 but in portrait mode it’s perfect. Touch response feedback had almost zero latency. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spa Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Yes, would be a nightmare if it broke. It will one day and become unfixable no doubt. But those cms cabs look good! Plenty of room to the right of the screen for extra buttons. 1 https://www.facebook.com/groups/264122764904452/?epa=SEARCH_BOX Fruit Machine Discussion - Facebook Group.
