    anyone using a touch screen for FMC/MCP?

    I am thinking of buying a touch screen and displaying the FMC on it. I have been browsing a bit but can't find what I am looking for.

    Ideally it should be a 10" touch screen that can rotate the image so you can use it in a portrait way, and preferably with a usb connection. They are for sale but I can never figure out if it is possible to rotate the image.

    Is anyone of you using a solution like this and what touch screen are you using?

    Thanks

    I used to use a screen for my cdu before I bought my Engravity one

    For a 10.4" touchscreen I use this for my lower engine screen which runs my EFB

    Get them on eBay from this guy. I've ordered two from him and had great service! Tell him My737Sim sent you

    Re: anyone using a touch screen for FMC/MCP?

    I bought a 10,4" touchKit for a LCD last week from eBay. I will use this for EFB, but the price was 48$ incl. shipping. The screen I got for free from a company having service on infostands.
    I used a 17" touch earlier for FMC + EICAS. It works OK, but it didn't go long before I bought a FMC from OC. Thats much cheaper then buying touchscreen.
