The innovative design of the open-frame 2240L provides a fit for gaming applications and can be deployed in both landscape and portrait orientations. With a front-facing, metal hardened anodised bezel and L-mounting brackets and slim dimensional profile (500 mm x 332 mm x 80 mm), the 2240L offers installation flexibility in a variety of entertainment and retail environments. In addition, the integrated on-screen display control, as well as remote OSD, allow for simplified management of the 2240L, according to the release.

 

The 2240L is the latest addition to Elo's existing portfolio of open-frame touchmonitors, now available in 20, 22, 26 and 32 inch screen sizes. At launch, the 2240L is available with industry-leading touch technologies including IntelliTouch surface acoustic wave, and capacitive, as well as no-touch version.
