Stupid question from a non-kj:

good. I hope someone here buys this one pretty quick. The ELO touchscreens are actually very good quality and the tough glass surface makes it easy to clean.. And it's a pretty good price.

Paid 70 with buy it now and 18 to ship.

I didn't have the money to pick up on this steal. But i have found another used touchscreen monitor that I could afford, but it has a serial interface. Do desktops even come with serial ports anymore?

You will need to know if it is serial or usb into the computer.

(before it breaks down) They should last a good long time. I have some that were taken out of a drugstore photo kiosk and they're still running great five years later. And this includes them sitting in a closed truck in the summer in the boiling heat, and also in the winter where they would literally freeze. I have never had one die of old age. And you can download the drivers free for just about any model they have ever made.

the connector next to the vga is a usb connector. and elo & microtouch monitors are both great units....

We have been using/selling ELO touchscreens at my day job for many years. Durable and the best of breed IMO.

Good luck with your ELO. I also use one for my kiosk and they're very good. I've also heard some good things about this one... http://www.monoprice.com/products/produ ... largeimage Which looks to be the same as this one... http://www.ebay.com/itm/260713225604?ss ... 1438.l2648

I have this on one of my kiosks that has no serial port.

Be careful. If the monitor was designed to be used with a serial port, the manufacturer may try to file a law suit against you for "cable shifting". Just because you buy something doesn't mean you can use it any way you want to these days.
