Elo Launches New 19" Entry Level LCD TouchmonitorNew cost-effective LCD touchmonitor for systems integrators and OEMs MENLO PARK, Calif. (May 15, 2006) – Elo TouchSystems, the global leader in touch technology and a business unit of Tyco Electronics, offers a new entry-level LCD touchmonitor as part of its expanding 1000 series. The new 1915L 19" LCD touchmonitor delivers a cost-effective touch solution for systems integrators, resellers and OEMs in the retail and hospitality markets. The family of cost-effective touchmonitors include 12", 15", 17" and 19" touchmonitors, all designed for touch with Elo's proven expertise and reliability built in. All Elo 1000 series touchmonitors are sealed against dirt, dust and splashes and are styled to be attractive from all angles. 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 also offers the 3000 and 5000 series of touchmonitors with additional options, features, choice of touch technologies and additional approvals for medical and industrial applications. "Elo's 1000 series touchmonitors still have the most important basic features found in all our designed-for-touch desktop touchmonitors. 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," says Jim Witkowski, Elo product manager. "Elo's IntelliTouch surface wave technology offers superior optical clarity and performance that can be used in a variety of environments because it registers input from a finger, gloved hand or soft stylus with a fast and accurate response. 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." According to Mike Sigona, Elo market manager, "System integrators, resellers and OEMs will appreciate Elo's renowned design and quality in these new touchmonitors. As the world's largest producer of touchmonitors, Elo can offer this series of touchmonitors at a price they will also appreciate."
