Tyco Electronics Introduces the Elo Touchsystems 2240L

By DE Editors

With the release of the new Elo TouchSystems 2240L wide-aspect, high resolution LCD touchmonitor from Tyco Electronics’  (Harrisburg, PA) Elo TouchSystems (Menlo Park, CA) introduces the latest addition to its portfolio of wide aspect ratio open-frame touchmonitor solutions.

Designed for use in gaming and self-service kiosks, the 2240L offers the widest viewing angle of any 22-in. touchmonitor available, and delivers clear, bright, and long-lasting performance. Colors remain sharp, vivid and true, and graphics retain their integrity. The innovative design of the open-frame 2240L provides a seamless fit for gaming applications, and can be deployed in both landscape and portrait orientations. With a front-facing, metal-hardened anodized bezel and L-mounting brackets and slim dimensional profile (500 x 332 x 80mm), the 2240L offers installation flexibility. In addition, the integrated onscreen display control (OSD), as well as a remote OSD, allow for simplified management of the 2240L.

The 2240L is the latest addition to Elo’s existing portfolio of open-frame touchmonitors,  now available in 20-in., 22-in., 26-in., and 32-in. screen sizes.

The 2240L includes IntelliTouch surface acoustic wave, and surface capacitive, as well as a no-touch version. The pure-glass and sealed-screen used with IntelliTouch technology helps prevent damage from spills, smoke, and other potential hazards,  while Elo’s next-generation surface capacitive touchscreen controller offers robust performance and pin-point accuracy.

The 2240L featuring acoustic pulse recognition (APR), the technology from Elo TouchSystems that senses touch by recognizing unique patterns of acoustic waves, is scheduled for release in early 2009.
