not really a fault with touchtunes... it's the panel manufacturers...
1024x768 was a "Standard Resolution" size for a VERY long time... when Widescreen started becoming standard, an easy hack to preserve the vertical resolution and just extend the horizontal resolution to get the 16:9 ratio "conforming" resolution of 1365.33333333..., which they've rounded up (because they don't like odd # pixel counts) to 1366.
dumb as hell, but what we ended up with.
so, as a result...of the total production of all 219 different panel models of the 26.0" size ever manufactured...
17 are 1920x1080,
1 is 2560x1440,
and the remaining 201 panels are 1366x768.
for comparison, 27" panels have currently 781 different models to choose from and roughly 11 are less than 1080p resolution. it's just a weird panel size released at a wierd transition time for panel manufacturers and chosen by tyco/elo to build the unit.
about halfway through the virtuo run, the supply of new 26" panels basically ran out... so they transitioned to 27" panel (which necessitated the redesign of the glass touch overlay.)

I've been fixing these kinds of things for years. sometimes you have to get creative.
just yesterday i bought a 2 used 26" LCD TV's off of one of those buy and sell used crap from around your area kind of sites (kinda like craigslist only less rapey) to repair a virtuo. What I do is look up the model numbers and find the user manuals.... in the back there is usually a section that tells you the native resolution of the panel. so i find a guy selling a couple for 25 bucks, look up the resolution and find it's 1366x768. so, tear them apart... modified the original driver board to drive the new panel (old panels use 12v LVDS and "new" panels use 5v... just a matter of swapping some jumpers.) ad bang boom, got a new monitor. still tuck with 1366x768 resolution though which is a bummer... i may look into replacement LVDS boards that i can configure for 1080 and see if i can score some 26" 1080 panels.

I live in a area where all of the USA scrap comes here, gets fixed and sold. Ill be looking fo a same size panel with a better resolution, since the touch is on the glass itself, everything should be fine. Also as I'm probably gonna sell this thing, I might just ignore it and sell it like it is hahaha

an LVDS that is configurable to be used with a 1080p panel is one with model number MDV6822
it is used in the 27" panel versions of the virtuo monitor so it's confirmed working... and has both DVI and VGA inputs. it has jumpers to configure the output for the panel data (usually 8bits single channel) and also the panel voltage (3.3, 5, or 12 volts). if you buy one, i recommend off the hop, replacing the 3 capacitors on it. they are really low quality and end up causing glitches on the screen after a few months of running.

I used my own laptop to see how it would look, I bought a battery for the RGB control and I like the result, whenever I get some extra money ill buy a led strip to install it on the back.
