Florence, KY (PressExposure) January 17, 2008 -- BlueStar, the leading innovator in solutions-based distribution for Auto ID, Point-of-Sale, RFID and Mobility products, is announcing its distribution of the new Tyco Electronics Elo TouchSystems 1729L. This 17-in. LCD integrated multifunction touchmonitor is designed for POS applications.

The Elo TouchSystems 1729L 17-in. 1280 x 1024 resolution LCD touchmonitor is a solution designed for POS applications. It features optional peripherals that can easily be integrated into the 1729L’s compact design. A choice of up to three optional peripherals can be installed, including: a magnetic stripe reader; vacuum fluorescent, rear-facing LED customer display; biometric fingerprint recognition device; and speaker bar with/without a built-in single or omni-directional barcode scanner.

Additional available features include: AccuTouch Five-Wire Resistive Technology; IntelliTouch Surface-Wave Technology; and choice of desktop, wall, or VESA mount.
In addition, customers can now add a field-installable MSR to the popular Elo TouchSystems 1515L 15-in. LCD touchmonitor part numbers.

“We believe the 1729L is a great addition to our touchmonitor portfolio. The new look and feel delivers advanced specifications in a compact, flexible design that is very appealing for a retail environment. The field installable peripherals are easier for our customers to upgrade and expand functionality. I believe this product separates us from the other 17-inch retail offerings. In addition, with our streamlined channel focus, our resellers will be able to improve their profitability and give their customers a great experience with the new 1729L touchmonitor series,” says John Dittig National Channel Sales Manager.

“This new Elo TouchSystems touchmonitor is a great addition to BlueStar’s line-up of POS applications,” says Mark Fraker, BlueStar’s VP of Marketing.
