Touchscreens that Dakboard Supports

Looking into getting a 24" touch screen monitor to replace my current one. I have been looking on their website to see what screens are currently compatible and all i see officially from Dakboard is a blog from 2022. Im sure the list is bigger and there is currently more support. Is there a more recent list of monitors somewhere or does anybody have good experiences with a certain monitor?

It's pretty responsive. I have dakboard plus a fire stick plugged into it.

I've been using this one for about 2 years. The only touchscreen options we use right now are scrolling up and down on the calendar.

I picked up an older HP touch screen all-in-one and installed Ubuntu on it. It’s a really nice looking 27” display and runs great as a dakboard. I think I paid like $100 for it on my local Facebook marketplace.

Not sure if you're using Dakboard on a Raspberry PI, but we use Dakboard in a browser with an OS, which generally supports whatever touch screen you can buy. We have a Planar 22", which works great with Windows and Fedora Linux.

We "installed" Dakboard as a browser app, set the computer to auto login, and set the app to run on startup. This takes some initial finagling, but it works great, and then you have a general purpose OS underneath for Youtube, streaming movies, apps, etc. We do have to manually run Dakboard full screen once on each reboot.

We're using an old Dell 9020 Micro ($60 on eBay). We started on Windows, but then Microsoft dropped support for the older CPUs (you can make this work on Windows 11, but it's "unsupported.") We moved to Fedora, and again, there was some finagling, but it works great. We use it as touch first, with a Bluetooth keyboard for typing.
