Default Eyegonomic 15" monitor

Anyone any experience of these? Its circa 2003 and has various
controls marked on the fascia beneath an overall glass screen,
including an on/off switch symbol. From this configuration I assume
that they are touch controls. On powering up, the screen actually
displays beautifully, but none of the touch controls do anything. It
seems that the Eyegonomic company has vanished. At power up the screen
does briefly display a Samsung logo. Any help or advice on this beast
would be greatly appreciated.

About a Samsung monitor?

I haven't dealt with one of those personally, but a good place to start
is figuring out how the touch sensing works.

They were marketed to Mac users.

Those don't tend to be the most technical people. I think this group is
as good as any for someone wanting to repair it.

Right, that is what I am after. As there are apparently no embedded
wires/leds around the glass etc I am assuming its some sort of
capacitive or inductive sensing. Not had it opened yet. BTW I have it
plugged in to a Compaq laptop just to test it. Do you know if there
was something specifically different with the video connector on the
Mac? (Just wondering why they were marketed to Mac users.) They were
about 450 UKP when new, so quite high-end I think.

I agree 100%. And, no one here responded to the OP's first post * nor
the second with anything useful * so I was merely suggesting another
possible avenue. And FWIW, mac guys tend to be about a dozen times more
technical than PC guys, as a group.

No, these days they're just standard interfaces. I bet if you take the
back off the thing it'll be pretty clear how the touch sensing works,
I'm curious myself now.

Aha! a fellow inquiring mind! Yes, I cant resist it...I will open it
up and see what I can find and report back as soon as I have time.
