Elo launches 19-inch touchscreen

MENLO PARK, Calif. — Elo TouchSystems, developer of touch technology and a business unit of Tyco Electronics, announced a new entry-level LCD touchmonitor as part of its expanding 1000 series.  The new 1915L 19-inch LCD touchmonitor delivers a cost-effective touch solution for systems integrators, resellers and OEMs in the retail and hospitality markets.

All Elo 1000 series touchmonitors are sealed against dirt, dust and splashes. The entire family is available with Elo's IntelliTouch surface wave and AccuTouch five-wire resistive touch technologies plus a dual serial/USB touch interface. Worldwide agency approvals cover the entire monitor that is designed, built and supported by Elo, a single-source supplier.

"Elo's 1000 series touchmonitors still have the most important basic features found in all our designed-for-touch desktop touchmonitors," said Jim Witkowski, Elo product manager. "Unlike conventional desktop touchmonitors, they remain stable when touched. OSD buttons are on the side, not the front, and are lockable for public use. The unit may be bolted to a tabletop or the base removed and the unit placed on a VESA arm or wall mounted. Elo's AccuTouch five-wire resistive technology may be activated with fingernail, gloved hand, credit card or any stylus and it keeps working with splashes, food and grease on the touchscreen."
