Monitor Elotouch Elo Touch Solution 1715L 17" LCD 1280 x 1024

The Elo Touch Solutions 1715L is a 17" (43.2 cm) LCD touchmonitor with a 1280 x 1024 resolution and 5:4 aspect ratio. Designed for system integrators and VARs, it combines Elo reliability with an affordable integrated touch display. The monitor supports an optional user-installable 3-track magnetic stripe reader (MSR) that can be programmed for HID or keyboard emulation (USB), providing an integrated payment or card-read option without external attachments. The touchscreen uses AccuTouch five-wire resistive technology, offering resistance to spills, splashes and washdown and delivering long service life with drift-free operation.

Advantages

The 1715L offers a compact 17" TFT LCD with 1280 x 1024 resolution and 200 cd/m² brightness for clear, consistent images. Its AccuTouch five-wire resistive touch provides durable, contamination-resistant touch performance suitable for harsh environments. An optional, easily installed 3-track MSR expands functionality for point-of-sale and access control applications while preserving a neat, integrated appearance.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This model uses a resistive touch sensor which is optimized for finger or stylus input and robust operation in dirty or wet conditions; however, it will not provide the multi-touch gestures or optical clarity of modern capacitive panels. Systems requiring high-brightness outdoor viewing or advanced multi-touch gestures may require a different display type.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect the 1715L to your host system using the appropriate video and USB or serial interfaces as required by your setup. Calibrate the touch input per the included instructions to ensure accurate cursor mapping. If using the optional 3-track MSR, follow the user-installation guide to fit the reader and configure it for HID or keyboard emulation (USB). The resistive touch responds to finger or stylus presses and is tolerant of spills—wipe the screen with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed, following manufacturer cleaning guidelines.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

For reliable daily operation, use the 1715L in indoor or semi-protected environments, perform touch calibration during setup, and keep the screen clean of heavy debris; choose the optional MSR when integrated card reading is needed to avoid external attachments.
