Elo TouchSystems, the global leader in touch technology and a business unit of Tyco Electronics, has launched the new 1729L 17" LCD integrated multifunction touchmonitor offering even more field-installable options than previous members of its family. The 1729L was developed to provide a versatile interface for applications in retail POS markets such as department stores, convenience stores, hospitality and fast food service, along with medical and light industrial applications.

Following on the success of the 1229L 12" and 1529L 15" LCD multifunction touchmonitors, the new 1729L 17" can be configured by the customer in the field to include three options from a choice of: Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR); vacuum fluorescent, rear-facing LED customer display; biometric fingerprint recognition device; and speaker bar with/without a built-in single or omni-directional barcode scanner. The 1729L is available in beige or grey with an adjustable height stand that is removable for wall-mounting.

The new Elo 1729L 17" LCD integrated multifunction touchmonitor is an attractive solution for POS applications. Its optional peripherals are seamlessly integrated into the 1729L’s compact design and offer a choice of desktop, wall or VESA mounting. Fewer cables and power bricks make installation and configuration of the touchmonitor easy.
