Has anyone had any experiences using a touchscreen monitor as a non-primary monitor? I want to buy one but will use it as my 6th monitor, and I'm concerned that the software that tells windows there was a mouse click where I touch will only report the coordinates as if they were on the primary screen, making it useless.

This can be done but all depends on the driver for the touch screen controller. Do you already have the hardware or are you looking to purchase it?

Ive got an ELO touchscreen and use it as a secondary (3rd monitor). It seems to work and "jumps" the mouse pointer into position. You do need the latest driver and to install it last.

Hey Tom,

I have a Lilliput touchscreen in my 4 monitor set-up. It appears you need to have the touchscreen set as your primary monitor when it runs the config. utility (TouchKit).

Even telling UltraMon to run it at start-up on the touchscreen seems to have no effect as it appears to run it on the touchscreen but configues the primary monitor which is not what you want.
