Elo introduces new kiosk touch screen

Good news for wanting less expensive turnkey touch screen solutions, as Elo announced:

"another entry-level touchmonitor as part of its expanding 1000 series. The new 1715L 17-inch LCD touchmonitor joins the existing 1515L 15-inch LCD to expand Elo’s family of cost-effective touch solutions for system integrators and resellers in the retail and hospitality markets.

The 1715L can function as a desktop or wall-mounted unit. The display is factory sealed against dirt, dust, and splashes and is styled to be attractive from all angles. The 1715L touchmonitor is available with Elo’s IntelliTouch surface-wave touch technology, plus a dual serial/USB touch interface. Worldwide agency approvals cover the entire monitor, which is designed, built, serviced and supported by Elo, a single-source supplier."

Elo screens are certainly the standard in an industry with many vendors, so we can hope that price movement from the big guys indicates lower prices from other vendors should soon be a reality as well. Here's the complete announcement.
