Know before you buy
AccuTouch is a resistive technology that works well in environments where the screen might be exposed to liquids, grease, or dust. IntelliTouch uses surface wave technology, which provides superior optical clarity and is better suited for cleaner, high-traffic retail or office settings.
Yes, the base of the 1515L is removable. Once removed, you can use the VESA mounting pattern on the back to attach the monitor to a wall mount, pole mount, or custom kiosk enclosure.
No, the 1515L features an internal power supply. This allows you to connect the monitor directly to a power outlet with a standard cable, helping keep your workspace or point-of-sale counter tidy.
The monitor connects to your computer via a standard VGA cable for video. For touch functionality, it features a dual-interface controller, allowing you to connect via either a Serial (RS-232) or USB port.
The 1515L has a native resolution of 1024 x 768 with a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is standard for many legacy POS systems. It is not a widescreen monitor, so ensure your software interface is compatible with this resolution before purchasing.
