Touch vs Non-Touch Monitor
Touch is not always an improvement. This comparison guide discusses when a touch screen helps and when a plain screen with separate controls is the better choice. It compares in qualitative terms only, and it states no touch technology, because none is listed for the touch categories on this site.
What this page covers
Touch helps where the task is direct: selecting, confirming, entering a short value, or navigating a simple menu, especially where the operator stands and works quickly. Touch hurts where the task needs precise text entry, long documents or fine control, and where the operator's hands are occupied or the screen must stay clean for viewing. A plain screen with a keyboard, a mouse or a dedicated keypad suits those tasks better, and it also suits a viewing-only station where nobody needs to touch the screen at all. The decision should therefore start from the tasks, not from the technology: list the daily tasks, mark which ones benefit from direct touch, and choose touch only where the benefit is real. A buyer who is unsure should test both with the real tasks before ordering in quantity.
Key points for buyers
A touch screen changes how a terminal is used, and the choice should start from the people who will touch it and the tasks they will do. Large touch targets, a simple step order and a clear way back from a mistake help every user, and they matter more than any single feature claim. The screen height and angle should suit the users who will stand or sit in front of it, and the surface should suit the cleaning routine of the setting, because a screen that is touched all day will be cleaned often. A buyer should test the touch behaviour with the real application before ordering in quantity, using the real tasks, the real users and the real cleaning routine, because a touch screen that feels right in a demonstration can still fail in daily use if the targets are too small or the layout is too crowded.
A fair comparison starts from the buyer's own requirements, not from a feature list. The useful dimensions are usually the setting, the viewing distance, the users, the daily workload, the cleaning routine and the service access, and each candidate should be judged against those dimensions in turn. A comparison that ranks candidates by a single figure, or by a feature that the buyer does not need, will mislead. Where a value is not listed for a category, the comparison should say so and treat the value as a question for the enquiry, rather than filling the gap with a generic figure or borrowing a figure from another category. The enquiry is then the place to close the gaps that matter, one by one, before an order is placed.
A point of sale touch screen sits at the checkout, where speed and reliability matter more than any other quality. The operator uses it all day, often standing, often in a hurry, and often with one hand free while the other handles goods or payment. The layout should therefore put the most-used actions within easy reach, keep the step order short, and make the way back from a mistake obvious. The screen should also suit the counter: its size should fit the available space without crowding the goods area, and its position should suit both the operator and the customer where the customer needs to see a total or confirm a choice. Cleaning matters too, because a checkout screen is touched by many hands during the day.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a quotation?
Send an enquiry naming the monitor category, the quantity, the intended application and the way the screen will be used. Commercial terms are confirmed per order, and values that are not listed for a category are confirmed in the enquiry. This site does not list fixed selling figures.
What documents can you provide for a unit I am considering?
Certificates are available upon request. Name the category and the document needed in the enquiry, so the correct document can be checked. No certificate name, number or issuing body is stated on this site.
Is the second hand line sold as new?
No. The second hand 19 inch LED desktop line is a used line, and every page that describes it keeps the second hand wording. Condition and warranty for a second hand unit are confirmed per unit.
