IntelliTouch/SecureTouch Surface Wave Technology for LCDs

BenefitsThe Players' ChoiceHow IntelliTouch Works

LCDs require a protective overlay. Only Elo IntelliTouch uses a clear glass overlay for the best possible optics. IntelliTouch offers superior optics and accurate drift-free touch performance. New true-flat versions are available with transducers on the back of the glass, as well as SecureTouch flat tempered glass versions for greater vandal resistance and safety.

How IntelliTouch WorksBenefits

  • Original colors not altered

  • Fast and sensitive—faster than capacitive in two-handed play
  • 4095 x 4095 resolution
  • No drift with temperature or humidity—touch smaller targets accurately every time
