Display size and touch detection

 

Any thoughts on whether the 5" or 7" screen size is better?

I would prefer the smaller size I think as there ar more case options but any thoughts from those who have tried either or both?? Much appreciated!

Also I think the 7" display comes with either resistive or capacitive sensing as far as I can see.? Could the capacitive sensing option be used with the Jackal board (with an extra interface board perhaps) as it is generally better than resistive?

I prefer the 5" as it is large enough to use, but keeps the case size down a bit which may be important for portable operation. Also, the smaller screen does draw a little less power and is less expensive.

We prefer the resistive touch screen, as it seems "more accurate" for people like me who have fat fingers. (I'm not fat, I'm just easy to see.) I'm not sure how the library code works with the capacitive touch displays.
