Touchscreen monitors go right to the edge

Elo TouchSystems has released the first zero-bezel wide-aspect ratio touchmonitors with a 100% useable surface area.

Tyco Electronics reckons that the new Elo TouchSystems 1900L and 2200L high-resolution LCD touch monitors represent a radical change to the look and feel of touchscreen technology.

The 1900L and 2200L are the first zero-bezel wide-aspect ratio touchmonitors with a 100% useable surface area.

The zero-bezel design removes the frame, or bezel, of standard monitors to create a seamless glass surface designed to showcase the wide-screen, high-definition experience that today's consumers have come to expect from all forms of video.

"One of our principal goals was to make our new touchscreens look less like computer monitors and more like a design element in the customer environment", explains James Witkowski, Elo TouchSystems Product Manager.

Combining state-of-the-art Elo TouchSystems acoustic pulse recognition (APR) touch technology with a seamless screen, the 1900L and 2200L touchmonitors are designed for use in high-traffic retail, hospitality and other public environments, and offer both aesthetic elegance and world-class durability.

Because APR technology works by recognising the sound created when the monitor's surface is touched, users can interact with the touchscreens in the new 1900L and 2200L touchmonitors with virtually any kind of stylus - from a fingertip to the edge of a credit card.

Both monitors also provide zero-drift performance and will never require recalibration, ensuring a long, low-maintenance functional life.

The new touchscreen monitors are as practical as they are beautiful.

The seamless glass surface provides optimal optical quality, durability, and stability, as well as excellent dragging properties.

The easy-to-clean screen is resistant to water, dust and grease, making it an excellent choice for use by the public.

The built-in, downward-facing speakers provide robust audio quality in a space-saving form factor that doesn't compromise the monitor's elegant appearance.

The adjustable stand offers broad installation flexibility, and can be mounted on a desktop or wall for environments where space is limited.

Dual independent hinges on the desk mount accommodate a variety of height requirements.

With bottom-mounted features like integrated VGA and DVI video-input ports, touch-interface USB (APR) and serial jacks, AC/DC power and audio headphone jacks are virtually invisible to users.

The innovative base is also designed to hide cables for increased security and visual simplicity.

Side-mounted control buttons help provide uninterrupted performance and prevent unintentional user disruptions.

"We are committed to meeting the needs of our customers", says Witkowski.

"With the 1900L and 2200L touchscreen monitors, we're answering our customers' demand for a unique, stylish and high-definition alternative to traditional touchmonitors".
