LAKE FOREST, Calif. - Horizon Technology, an independent distributor and integrator of display products, announced the arrival of its 40-inch and 42-inch surface acoustic wave (SAW) touchscreens, which complement Horizon's existing product line. The large touchscreens are fully integrated behind the existing bezel of LCD monitors, providing high-performance touch without altering the monitor design.
Horizon has positioned itself to offer the large interactive displays to the retail and digital signage, point-of-information, transportation, education, conference room, financial, gaming, restaurant and exhibition and trade-show markets.
"Horizon is excited to be the first in the U.S. market to offer the 40-inch and 42-inch SAW touch screen displays. This product development is the direct result of strong demand from our customers and is consistent with the market consensus of growing demand for large interactive displays," said Kurt Johnson, Horizon's chief executive.
