Hi Paul,

To answer your last question first. Yes, touchscreens have 2 connections. One for the Monitor part, and one for the Mouse part of the touchscreen.

The first one (150147211964) says in the title 'PC INTERFACE', and does not say USB. So, I'm guessing that maybe it does not use a USB port for the mouse, and only uses mouse port? Since most pcs only have 1 mouse port, your other mice would have to be USB probably. Not a problem in general, but that would limit me. But if that's ok with you I guess it works. Also, I have not seen anybody with a touchscreen that does not use USB ports as the interface for the mouse, so I really cannot tell you much more on that.

Also, I don't see where this one mentions it's Native Resolution. I would go with a Native Resolution of 800x600 if I could find one. Have you read the threads in our FAQ section?

The second one (130139526727) does have a lot of info about it. And it says it uses a USB for the Mouse, 800x600 Native Res, VGA PC Input, ect...

Also, several users have bought touchscreens from HK and I have not seen any posts of any problems with the purchase, delivery, or functionality.

Good Luck with your choice...

WBK
