Choosing the Right TFT LCD with Touch Screen for Smart Home Devices

For product managers and sourcing teams, selecting a TFT LCD with touch screen is no longer just about screen size or price.

Modern smart appliances require multi-touch capability, palm rejection, high SNR touch controllers, and long-term supply stability. Choosing a consumer-grade display may reduce BOM cost initially—but often leads to higher RMA rates, customer complaints, and costly redesigns.

Understanding the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is key when evaluating touch displays for mass production.
