Blu-ray Touch-Screen? - Blu-ray Forum

And furthermore, have you looked at any touch screen devices? They're always full of fingerprints. Who would want to constantly have to clean their TV screen? Touch screen in the car makes some sense (although as others have stated, a video monitor should only be in the back seat, not the front), but this is essentially what an iPhone (and competitors' versions) and the iPad (and the clones that are coming) do, although the Apple version of the tablet can't play Blu-ray. But aside from double-dipping issues, why does one need Blu-ray in the car? Is the monitor going to be larger than 7"?

And furthermore, aside from stop, pause, start and volume, what is it that you're going to be adjusting when watching a video in the car? And those functions already have controls. What difference is it if those controls are physical or virtual?

Where I would like to see a color bit mapped display similar to a smart phone display is on A/V receivers. It doesn't necessarily have to be touch screen, but I think these pre-defined dot LEDs on even expensive A/V receivers are old news and ill-advised, especially since many of these receivers support software updates and the LED limits what can be updated. A bit mapped display could provide a really great UI on these electronics.
