(I'm waiting for the rig to reboot right now  ).
They work well for me as video monitors. They work well for me now on 2 out of the 3 systems as touchscreens (I had a breakthru in the calibration on the Win7 machine, and now it's running like a top). Apparently there are new models out (but they use the same drivers). Still bug hunting on the XP system.
They were cheap as compared to 8 VGA touchscreens plus video card expansions. But I bet I'da been up and running 4 weeks ago. Well see after this re-install . |
Just a brief update: when last I posted, I was experiencing problems with the Mimo 740 touchscreen monitors on WinXP.
Vista and Win7 were working fine. I was planning to do a re-install on WinXP.
I'm happy to report that I've solved all of the problems. The monitors now work flawlessly.
The problems were associated with poorly-documented installation and calibration instructions on behalf of Mimo. As it turns out, there is an (undocumented by Mimo) "right way" to install and calibrate multiple Mimo monitors on the same system. Do it the right way and the monitors work as advertised 98% of the time, and the other 2% of the time a simple "unplug and replug" at boot time clears the hangup.
If anyone is planning on using these monitors and would like some help, please feel free to email me at neiljohnston at earthlink dot net (you get it
) and I'd be glad to help out.
