The Elo TouchSystems 2243L open-frame LCD touch monitor with its slim design and narrow outside dimensions gives kiosk integrators an edge in developing the most aesthetically pleasing products. Wide-aspect displays like the Elo 2243L are easier to use and incorporate than traditional open-frame touch monitors. Wide-screen format displays allow extra content on the screen and are quickly becoming preferred in casino gaming, amusement and entertainment settings and are increasingly popular in public venue environments due to the high-definition cinematic-like experience.State-of-the-art LED backlighting used in the 2243L makes the panel thinner overall as the cold cathode fluorescent lights (CCFL) are replaced with LED lights. LED lights also take less electricity to operate and generate less heat. This leads to the slimmer dimensions of the 2243L that facilitate OEMs and system integrators the flexibility to design aesthetically pleasing and stylish kiosks.Available with either Intellitouch surface acoustic wave touchscreen technology or Acoustic Pulse Recognition (APR), the 2243L provides stable "drift-free" operation with outstanding image clarity, resolution, and light transmission - for an accurate touch response and vivid images. APR is the recent TE innovation that supports touch activation by any stylus - pen, glove, bare finger and fingernail, while Intellitouch is the optical standard of touch and widely used in kiosk and gaming applications. Both are pure glass construction to deliver a clear, bright and long-lasting performance and it also makes the touchscreens scratch-resistant. It is nearly impossible to physically "wear out" these touchscreens.
