10.8 display issues (Solved: turn the screen on 5-10 seconds BEFORE turning on the controller)

My display registers my touch about 3/4" off. Is there a way to calibrate it?

turn the screen on 5-10 seconds BEFORE turning on the controller.

Everything is hooked up correctly. My issue may be that the controller and display are on the same power strip I use to energize. I will correct this and see if it helps.
