        searching for the monitor currently aswell.
        Especially not sure wether full hd is enough for 32’’ as it is only around 70ppi.
        But for sure would be quite a bit cheaper than 4k.

          My $0.02:

          There is absolutely no reason to buy a 4k display. A full HD, 32" display, is more than adequate.

              A 4K display is a waste of your money in all honesty.

                yeah, that was my first thought as well but thought it would be better to ask people that already did it because buying an FHD that looks crappy later is kind of unnecessary as well.

                      found a good monitor for myself which would be 31.5’’
                      Is there a easy way to map those 32’’ IR frames you use to this slightly smaller monitor?

                        @maxbachmann If you mean the touch frame? You can just build a bigger box that will fit the 32" frame in and then center the monitor and it should work just fine :)

                          yeah thats exactly what I mean :)

                          I thought I would center the monitor like you said, however I don’t know how settings for the touch frame are changed because using a 32’’ touch frame with a 31,5 inches screen in standard the touch should be a little bit off
                          Or do I miss something?
