Elo TouchSystems Introduces New 19" LCD Rear-Mount Gaming TouchmonitorsFremont, California — September 16, 2003 — Elo TouchSystems, Inc., the global leader in touch technology and a business unit of Tyco Electronics, today announces a new 1947L 19" Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) rear-mount gaming touchmonitor. The 1947L expands Elo's existing family of 12", 15", 17", and 18" LCD rear-mount gaming touchmonitors that feature Elo's IntelliTouch or SecureTouch surface-wave technologies. All of Elo's gaming touchmonitors are available with a unique injection-molded minibezel and water-resistant seal. Elo's new 1947L 19" LCD rear-mount touchmonitor will be previewed and available for demonstration at booth #673 at the Global Gaming Expo 2003, Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada from September 16 to 18, 2003.

Longer-Lasting Product Cycle

"The new 1947L 19" LCD rear-mount touchmonitor is the latest addition to Elo's family of chassis LCD gaming touchmonitors," says Paul Wiener, Elo's marketing manager. "Like the 12" to 18" products, the 1947L has a longer-lasting product cycle because the enclosure is controlled by Elo's design specifications. This means that future panel upgrades are possible without external changes." According to Wiener, Elo now offers touchmonitors for bingo, lottery, POS, casino loyalty kiosks, and casino management applications.

Wider Viewing Angle

"Elo's 1947L 19" LCD gaming touchmonitor also includes wider viewing angles, of 170° vertical by 170° horizontal, to attract more players," says Mark Bolt, Elo's product manager. Commenting on the larger screen size, Bolt adds, "The larger display grabs the player's attention while continuing to maintain the graphic quality and clarity necessary to provide bigger buttons and input icons."

Protected by Watertight Faceplate Seal

In keeping with the family features, the new 1947L 19" LCD rear-mount gaming touchmonitor offers a multilingual on-screen display (OSD) and worldwide agency approvals. "Like all of Elo's gaming touchmonitors, the 1947L features a wiper-blade seal integrated into the bezel," says Bolt. The wiper-blade seal provides a level of protection against water drops, dirt and cigarette ash and features rounded corners for easy cleaning.
