Gaming monitors as reliable as desktop monitors? They exist!

Our Company

Elo TouchSystems...

Is experienced in monitor design. For over 10 years, Elo has been offering monitors designed for a variety of specialized markets including point-of-sale, industrial, medical, gaming, and kiosk. Besides being the world leader in touchscreen technology, Elo is also the world's largest producer of touchmonitors.

Offers proven quality. Our monitors incorporate proven basic circuits, ruggedized for gaming. They are produced in a factory that builds LCD monitors for some of the best known desktop brands in the world. All have laboratory tested designs (shock, vibration, temperature, humidity) and are manufactured with state-of-the-art computer-automated video alignment and color temperature adjustments.

Has enormous capacity. These same factories have capacity for 1.9 million monitors a year.

Is a worldwide company. European, American, or Asian warehousing logistics options are available to you along with local sales, customer service and support in your language.

Is backed by Tyco Electronics. Elo is a business of Tyco Electronics Ltd, a leading global provider of engineered electronic components, network solutions, wireless systems and undersea telecommunication. The company, with nearly 100,000 employees, had fiscal 2007 sales of US$13.5 billion to customers in more than 150 countries.

Our Technologies

Whether you choose our surface wave or capacitive technology, you can be sure of the highest quality from the world leader in touch technology.

IntelliTouch, the Best an Overlay Has to Offer

LCDs require a protective overlay. Only Elo IntelliTouch uses a clear glass overlay for the best possible optics, where capacitive technology must use glass with metallic coatings. IntelliTouch offers superior optics and accurate drift-free touch performance. Proprietary true-flat versions are unique in having the transducers on the back of the glass. SecureTouch versions are available for greater vandal resistance and safety.

Elo Capacitive, an Alternative from a World Class Supplier

Elo capacitive touchscreens (also called surface capacitive) provide a solution for customers who want an alternative to their capacitive options available today. Elo uses a more linear coating and edge pattern, thereby only needing a two-point calibration sequence and allowing controllers and screens to be intermixable and therefore replaceable individually.

Acoustic Pulse Recognition

The newest technology, available only from Elo. APR combines the best of the other technologies—pure glass and superior optical qualities of IntelliTouch, the dragging performance of capacitive, but also with fingernail and stylus activation not found in the other technologies.

Our Customers

Approximately 100 gaming manufacturers, including some key top manufacturers, have switched to Elo products and the list is growing!

The 19-inch iTouch monitors from Elo deliver a great experience for the players. The excellent optical performance and vandal resistance of iTouch have enhanced the game graphics and player input for our product 'Dice Roulette' and reduced expensive maintenance calls. When Elaut evaluated iTouch against competitive technologies, we were convinced by these unique features and are happy to say that they have been proven with over 9 months in the field.

At funworld our emphasis is always on the players. While Elo had the primary role in developing the technology, we worked closely with them to perfect it for our market.

At the development stage, we decided to produce a commercial trial using different touchscreen manufacturer's technologies. Having analysed the results at the end of the trial, we discovered the units fitted with Elo's touch technology were streets ahead of the other units and it proved to provide a better all-round consumer experience. In addition, some manufacturers touchscreens, based on an overlay technology, and used in the trial, were subject to breakage. Elo's iTouch solves that issue as it has no overlay.
