Elo TouchSystems introduces 17-inch LCD monitors

January 31, 2005

MENLO PARK, Calif. - Elo TouchSystems, Inc., released two new 17-inch LCD rear-mount touch monitors; the 1749L, featuring a wide viewing angle panel, and the 1746L, with a lower spec panel.

According to a news release, both touch monitors feature Elo's clear glass IntelliTouch surface wave touch technology. The touch monitors complement Elo's existing family of 12.1-inch, 15-inch, 17-inch and 19-inch LCD chassis touch monitors that feature a choice of Elo's touch technologies.

The 1746L and 1749L touch monitors feature a unique injection-molded minibezel with a watertight seal that makes them ideal for indoor/outdoor kiosks, ticketing machines, medical equipment, industrial automation and gaming/amusement applications.

"Elo has reduced the overall outside dimensions of the new 17-inch touch monitors by about 10 percent in height and width, made them 13 percent thinner, and designed a new minibezel that is about 50 percent smaller, all while maintaining the overall integrity of the design," said Mike Sigona, Elo market manager. "This makes the 1746L and 1749L more convenient, allowing Elo's customers to expand the choice of economical touch solutions they can provide to their customers."
