Press ReleaseElo Introduces New 17" & 19" LCD Rear Mount TouchmonitorsNew narrow borders/bright display ideal for retail/gaming applications
Availability and Uniformity in the Long Term Elo kiosk touchmonitors have a long-lasting product cycle because the enclosure is controlled by the company's specifications and tooling. Unlike standard LCDs which can change form factor every few months, Elo's kiosk touchmonitors have a long standing record of being available - unchanged - through all phases of project rollouts, and even in the future when spares might be needed. This is a critical factor for kiosk integrators, who do not wish to modify a kiosk at a remote site when a touchmonitor needs changing. Bright Panels, Wide Viewing Angles Elo's 1739L 17" and 1939L 19" LCD rear mount touchmonitors feature top quality panels with stunning visual quality and wide viewing angles to better attract customers. The 1739L has a viewing angle of 178° x 178° and offers a typical contrast ratio of 1500:1 at 280cd/m2 brightness. The 1939L has a 170° x 170° viewing angle and contrast ratio of 1000:1 at 250 cd/m2 brightness. The pure glass IntelliTouch surface wave touchscreen maintains graphic quality and clarity, reducing the light transmission only slightly to 257cd/m2 and 230cd/m2 respectively while preserving colour purity unlike other technologies. Compact, Competitive and Compatible The 1739L and 1939L touchmonitors, like all of Elo's LCD kiosk touchmonitors, feature a unique injection-moulded minibezel and virtually invisible watertight seal, plus a choice of mounting options including VESA and rear mount with and without the bezel. The new minibezel has a narrower design than previous models, allowing even smaller cabinet designs. The two touchmonitors have built-in support for both a serial and USB touch interface, multilingual on-screen display (OSD) and worldwide power. 3D design files are available for both models for easy integration into complete kiosk or gaming machines. "As always, Elo has put a lot of thought behind the new 17" and 19" LCD rear mount touchmonitors," says Mike Sigona, Elo's market manager. "Their high quality, compact design, competitive cost, and global agency approvals including full RoHS compliance make them an economical choice for applications in the retail kiosk and gaming/amusement markets."
