How to Make an LCD Monitor Touch Screen

A touch-screen computer monitor comes in handy for various design projects or if you want to write on the screen like a piece of paper. You may not know that you can purchase an adapter that allows you to convert your standard LCD screen to a touch screen. The process of setting up this adapter can be completed in a moment or two.

Instructions

1. Turn on your LCD monitor and fit the touch screen panel over the front of it. Align the panel so that the sides are flush.

2. Use the clamp on the side of the panel to attach it to the monitor. Make sure that the clamp is securely attached to the side of the monitor.

3. Plug the USB end of the cable which runs from the side of the panel to an available USB port in your computer. Consult your computer's user guide for your particular computer if you cannot locate the USB ports.

4. Test your monitor by writing on it with the included stylus pen.
