I'm looking for a largish (20"+) Rpi compatible touchscreen monitor that can be used to scroll by touch in a web browser.
I found this one - but I'm not sure if the the Rpi would work with it for touch control.
Any ideas or suggestions welcome
Thanks.

Re: Recommendation for touchscreen monitor
If I were tempted to spend £169 on a touchscreen monitor I'd be taking my Raspberry Pi down to their Portsmouth showroom and asking if I could try before I buy. The round trip would save the delivery cost as Portsmouth isn't far from Basingstoke.
If you buy it online you've got 7 days to test it and reject it under the distance selling regulations.
The last touchscreen I used with a RPi appeared as a mouse but it needed some simple calibration to work with XWindows.

Lilliput sent a SDCard with that one although I didn't use that any built my own. The support for eGalax touchscreens is included in the current RPF kernels.
