Which is better resistive or capacitive touch screen?

Capacitive Touchscreen vs Resistive Touch Screen?

• Which Is Best For Tablet PC?

• Answer:

  Capacitive touch screen: Pros: Multi touch support available Visibility good even in sunlight Highly sensitive to finger touch leading to ease of use Not prone to dust particles Glossy look and feel Cons: Need to have atleast 5% humidity to achieve capacitive effect More expensive than Resistive touch screen Doesn't work with inanimate objects/fingernails/gloved fingers Latest technology, may need to evolve a bit more! Resistive touch screen: Pros: Relatively cheaper Can operate with any pointing devices like stylus, pen, nail etc Can operate at any level of humidity Ease of use, as it could be used even with your winter gloves on! Very useful for people using handwriting recongition system, due to ease of use with a stylus! More accurate than capacitive touch screen! Old technology and hence more reliable! Cons: Multi touch support not available. Though technology did evolve after some modifications with the existing resistive touch screen circuitry, its still not 100% developed yet! Highly sensitive. As it can operate with almost any sort of pointing devices, can be more vulnerable with dust particles! Poor visibility in sunlight, mostly due to multiple layers reflecting light! Screen, being sensitive at the upper layer, can be more vulnerable to scratches! So, I would suggest Capacitive for table PC.
