Options for touchscreen control

I’ve been trying to work my way around the LCD/touchscreen options to work out what’s an affordable and practical way to do some experimenting in that space.

The Graphic LCD CFAX Carrier Board (LCD-00463) looks like a good set up for the LCD but does not seem to include a touchscreen. The Graphic LCD 128x64 CFAX w/ EL Backlight and Touchscreen looks like it might be the same LCD.

Does naybody know if you can get the carrier board with a touchscreen or how to go about asking for it?

Has anybody had experience with using a touchscreen/LCD as the control interface for a project rather than having a range of buttons and have suggestions which I should hear now?

The PSP screen’s and touchscreen would probably be great but my impression is that the electronics to control them would be a big undertaking.

If you just want to play with touchscreen.

Mark thanks. I want to try and find out what’s involved in using a combination of LCD and touchscreen as a control panel but what you have done looks like a great starting place to learn.
