Recommended Touchscreen

Recommended Touchscreen:

• ELO Touchscreens

The ELO touch screen monitors are commercial grade monitors that have been designed to withstand a great deal of abuse.
The deciding factors that led us to use the ELO touch screen monitor had to do with its bare bone open frame option. This gave us a lot of room to play with when we built our photo booth enclosure because the open frame provided the flexibility when it came to monitor mounting options.
