MENLO PARK, Calif. — Elo TouchSystems Inc., provider of touch technology and a business unit of Tyco Electronics, announced in a news release another entry-level touchmonitor as part of its expanding 1000 series. The new 1715L 17-inch LCD touchmonitor joins the existing 1515L 15-inch LCD to expand Elo's family of cost-effective touch solutions for system integrators and resellers in the retail and hospitality markets.
The 1715L can function as a desktop or wall-mounted unit. The display is factory sealed against dirt, dust, and splashes and is styled to be attractive from all angles. The 1715L touchmonitor is available with Elo's IntelliTouch surface-wave touch technology, plus a dual serial/USB touch interface. Worldwide agency approvals cover the entire monitor, which is designed, built, serviced and supported by Elo, a single-source supplier.
"Elo invented touch technology over thirty years ago and has been the global standard in touch ever since," said James Witkowski, Elo product manager. "Using our experience, expertise and ingenuity, we created our family of ‘designed for touch' products. Touch technology is built into the 1715L from the ground up — not added as an afterthought by altering an existing monitor. The new touchmonitors include a stable base. Controls are placed on the side rather than the front and are locked out for public use. Elo's IntelliTouch surface wave offers anti-glare clarity and performance which can be used in a variety of environments because it registers input from a finger, gloved hand, or soft stylus with a fast, accurate response."
