Planar Expands Its Touchscreen Display Line

Planar Systems has announced the addition of two new 15" touchscreen monitors to the company's PT line. The PT1520MU and the PT1510MX, backed by Planar's three-year Customer First warranty, with free two-day advance replacement, are targeted primarily for point-of-sale (POS) and self-service applications in retail, hospitality and food service environments. Building on Planar's technology innovation capabilities in providing specialty display solutions, the addition of the PT1520MU and the PT1510MX is a result of Planar's intent focus on creating solutions that address applications requiring display system performance beyond what is available from general purpose, commodity display suppliers.

For customers who want increased durability, Planar's PT1520MU features a sturdy deskstand which allows the monitor to be tilted from 0 degrees to 90 degrees. The PT1520MU presents a wide selection of positioning angles, making POS and POP transactions more convenient for the end user. Specifically designed for POS systems, this monitor features a five-wire resistive touchscreen with USB touchscreen interface, has a brightness of 350 cd/m(2), and is designed to be easily integrated in a variety of environments for a range of applications without compromising operation.

To further meet requirements for cost efficiency, Planar's PT1510MX was designed specifically to deliver a lower price-point for a variety of applications. Compatible with POS, thin-client and PC systems, the PT1510MX includes a five-wire resistive touchscreen and dual serial RS-232/USB user interface, making it ideal for use in environments that require optimal performance under challenging conditions, such as restaurants, retail stores or hospitality environments.
