Windows PC connected to Touchscreen
Option 1 (Mini Windows PC connected to portable touchscreen monitor via USB-C)
This option is perfect for a clean and minimalist setup using the Mango Display App for Windows. A single USB-C cable from the Mini PC handles power, video output to the monitor, and touch input back to the Mini PC. This setup allows you to hide the PC stick near the power outlet, with only the USB-C cable visible. Additionally, portable touch monitors are lightweight, typically weighing 2-5 lbs, and can easily be mounted on walls or refrigerators using command strips or magnets.
Portable touchscreen monitor
These Portable touchscreen monitors are fairly cheap, light and look good. Most can be placed on walls with 3M command strips
One example listed below:
USB-C
Use a certified USB-C cable that supports Power Delivery (PD) and Alt Mode (DisplayPort or HDMI)
One example listed below:
Mini PC (Windows)

One example listed below:
Option 2 (Windows PC connected to any compatible touchscreen monitor)
This setup is ideal for those who need larger touch screens using the Mango Display App for Windows. Typically, three cables are required to connect a Windows PC to the monitor: one direct for power, an HDMI cable for video output from the PC, and a USB-A cable to transmit touch inputs from the monitor to the PC.
Some example touchscreens are listed below, but any touchscreen that works with Windows can be used.

Why can’t I use a Fire TV stick or Google TV stick connected to a touchscreen monitor?
These devices connect to screens through the HDMI port, which is a one-way standard. This means the Fire TV stick or Google TV stick can send video to the monitor but cannot receive touch input from the monitor. As a result, touch functionality will not work even if you use a touchscreen monitor. Additionally, Amazon Fire TV OS and Google TV/Android TV OS are designed for use with remotes, not touch input.
Is there a touchscreen smart TV or smart monitor?
Currently, we are not aware of any touchscreen TVs or smart monitors, as they are typically sold as non-touch displays designed for remote or mouse control. If you come across any, please let us know so we can update our list!
Can I use a Raspberry Pi with a touch screen monitor?
Yes! If you get your Raspberry Pi working on a touch screen, and are able to use the browser via touch, you can use the Mango Display touch features. Set up Mango Display on Raspberry Pi.
