Neptune Apex Large Screen display hookup....... What all is needed to add a large 24"+ screen to the Neptune Apex?
Something like what Ryan from BRS had on his 360 when it was at his home.

There is no video output if that is what you are asking. As @piranhaman00 noted any device that has browser support will work. Open browser, fusion URL or local address, set size and tiles to your liking, and that is more or less it. Then set screen saver time and screen lock.

I imagine you'll need a monitor of your choice, touch or no-touch and some form of PC? Seems fairly straight forward I would say..

I am currently using the 12.9" iPad Pro and it does the job well, however, I would like to go for a setup with a 24" touchscreen monitor such as this one from Dell but it is not quite in the cards yet.

What I would do would be to add a small Windows PC somewhere out of sight and a wireless keyboard and mouse and a shelf under the monitor..

Best of luck! And do share pictures!

That is all you need yeah :)

I am thinking long and hard about getting the Alexa Echo Show 15.. Can be made so you can install any android app on it- or just access fusion via the browser..

You wouldnt need a touch screen monitor, that would cost more. Just add a normal cheap desktop monitor to your current computer via another display port (HDMI, DVI, VGA). In windows, extend the display via your graphics settings and drag the apex browser tab (whatever browser you prefer) to the new screen.

Well, that depends on what kind of control the aim is to achieve..

For monitoring, obviously a normal desktop monitor would do the trick just fine - but if he wanted to make an actual control station / monitor its either a touchscreen or a keyboard/mouse situation underneath :)

OK, that was a bust............Best buy should probably retrain all their employees. How is it I know more about the monitors than their Geek Squad.... WOW that was frustrating.

Maybe there is a reefer here that can help me locate the following monitor that has my needs.

Able to:
1) mount vertically with auto or manual screen oriental
2) touch screen
3) monitor mirroring or wireless so no cable needed.
