    Interesting, I have been looking at buying the correct size overlay for my project. I’ve found larger ones cheaper which is annoying. I’ve been wondering if it’s possible to re-calibrate the overlay to a smaller screen?

        @joela85 Hi, wondering if you learned a solution for this? I just managed to get my 42 inch IR Touch Overlay set to portrait on my MM. I have a 32 inch LCD monitor for this project.

        Where can I set or adjust this? Any thoughts?

          @peemoeller Hi, I never went down this route in the end. It might still be something I might try in the future.
          In the end I found a cheap good quality 24" monitor which was going to be fine for my project.
          I found some tutorials somewhere on calibrating a touch display but hadn’t found anything with about calibrating for a smaller monitor.
          Have you tried experimenting with normal calibration to see if it will calibrate to a smaller display?
          I’d be interested if you find a solution to this as I might well be tempted to try it in the future.

            FYI: i found out in Windows its just a matter of running the calibration software for your IR touch monitor…sorry to bump an old thread but in case someone was searching for an answer

              Yes that is a software for the touchframe that needs to be run…nothing you can run in MagicMirror to make it work. I basically bought a 32" TV and a 32" Frame…

                @cowboysdude hey man! long time no talk! I bought a 24" touchscreen monitor for the family info board and finally figured out how to keep the rotated touch settings when it goes to sleep. Can’t wait to mount it!
                Hope your screen is going well!
