ELO Touch E351388 19-inch Full HD Projected Capacitive Touch Display
Overview
The ELO Touch E351388 is a 19-inch LCD desktop display purpose-built for point-of-sale and retail environments where touch responsiveness and compact footprint matter. This model combines Full HD resolution with projected capacitive 10-touch sensing, USB connectivity, and dual video input options—VGA and HDMI. The zero-bezel frame keeps the physical profile minimal, critical for tight counter and kiosk installations. The included desktop stand allows angle adjustment without wall or surface mounting.
Key Features
- Full HD Resolution (1920 × 1080): Delivers clear text and imagery at 19 inches without pixelation—standard for POS applications where readability of small fonts (menu items, prices, payment confirmations) is non-negotiable.
- Projected Capacitive 10-Touch: Supports multi-touch gestures and simultaneous input from up to 10 contact points. Unlike resistive touch, capacitive sensing responds to bare fingers without requiring stylus pressure, improving cashier speed and reducing training friction.
- USB Controller: Touch data is transmitted over USB, simplifying integration with standard Windows, Linux, and macOS endpoints. No proprietary serial interfaces or legacy adapters required.
- Dual Video Inputs (VGA & HDMI): Choice of analog (VGA) for legacy retail systems or digital (HDMI) for modern PCs and thin clients. Both can be connected simultaneously; the display can switch inputs manually or via control commands.
- Zero-Bezel Frame Design: Minimizes the outer plastic rim around the active display area, saving roughly 1–2 inches of overall width and depth. In kiosks and drive-through setups where space is rationed, this counts.
- Included Desktop Stand: Tilt-adjustable stand ships with the unit (model E351388), eliminating need for third-party mounting hardware in tabletop deployments. No separate purchase required for basic installation.
- Black Finish: Standard retail black color blends into most counter and kiosk environments without drawing attention away from content.
Integration & Compatibility
Connect the E351388 to any PC or thin client with either VGA or HDMI output. The USB touch controller enumerates as a standard HID (Human Interface Device) on Windows, macOS, and Linux, meaning no specialized driver installation in most cases—plug-and-play for touch. If your POS software (NCR, Ingenico, Micros, Toast, or custom web-based applications) supports multi-touch input, the 10-touch capability is immediately available. For legacy systems expecting single-touch or stylus input, the display still functions as a standard monitor; touch features simply remain unused.
When to Choose a Different Model
If you need a larger screen (22-inch or greater), consider the ELO Touch Elo 2002L series or other larger variants within the ELO Touch product family. If your environment requires IP-rated durability (splashes, washdown), this display is not suitable—it is rated for standard indoor use only. If you need integrated payment processing, barcode scanning, or advanced biometric authentication, pair this display with external peripherals rather than expecting those capabilities in the display itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the E351388 support touch calibration?
A: Yes. Projected capacitive touch typically requires minimal calibration, but Windows and macOS include built-in touch calibration utilities accessible from display settings if drift occurs over time. Some POS software (e.g., Micros, Toast) also includes their own calibration modes.
Q: Can I wall-mount the E351388, or does it require the stand?
A: The E351388 ships with a desktop stand. A VESA 75 × 75 mm mount pattern is typical for ELO 19-inch models of this class, allowing wall or arm mounting, but confirm with the manufacturer's documentation for this specific SKU before ordering a third-party bracket.
Q: What's the warranty coverage on the E351388?
A: Coverage details vary by region and distribution channel. Confirm directly with your supplier or the manufacturer for the applicable warranty period and terms for this SKU.
Q: Is the USB touch controller powered by the video input, or does it need separate power?
A: The display itself requires AC power via the included power cable. The USB touch controller draws power from that same AC supply; no separate USB power injection is needed.
Q: Will the E351388 work with a Raspberry Pi or embedded Linux?
A: Yes, via HDMI video output and USB touch. Linux distributions and Raspberry Pi OS recognize the USB HID touch input natively in most cases. Confirm your specific OS version supports multi-touch HID if you plan to use gestures.
The ELO Touch E351388 is a straightforward 19-inch touch display designed for tight retail counters and kiosks where space and simplicity are the priorities. Full HD resolution on a 19-inch panel is the right balance for POS—large enough to display menus and payment screens legibly, compact enough to fit in a drive-through or narrow counter slot. The projected capacitive 10-touch sensor is the standout: it's faster and more reliable than resistive touch in a cashier's hands, and the multi-touch capability opens the door to pinch-zoom or swipe gestures if your POS software supports them.
Technical Highlights:
- Full HD (1920 × 1080) at 19 inches: Text rendering is crisp enough that small 8pt or 10pt fonts remain readable without strain—important for menu systems, itemized receipts, and compliance text on payment screens.
- Projected Capacitive 10-Touch: Supports simultaneous multi-finger input, enabling gestures beyond single-tap (pinch, swipe) if your POS platform is equipped for it. No stylus or pressure required—bare-finger responsiveness cuts transaction time compared to older resistive displays.
- USB and Dual Video (VGA + HDMI): USB touch keeps integration simple on modern endpoints; dual video inputs mean you can move this display between a legacy retail PC (VGA) and a new POS terminal (HDMI) without rewiring.
Deployment Considerations:
- This is an indoor-only display—no IP rating for moisture or dust. Don't position it near sinks, espresso machines, or any source of splash or steam.
- Projected capacitive touch can occasionally register false touches from wet fingers or fingernails. If your cashiers wear gloves consistently, test touch responsiveness with gloves before finalizing your order.
- The zero-bezel design is visual eye candy, but it doesn't add functionality—it saves roughly 1–2 inches of footprint. If your counter is already constrained, that matters; otherwise, don't overweight the design benefit.
The E351388 is the sensible pick for a modern-retrofit retail counter or a quick-service kiosk where you want touch responsiveness, compact form factor, and no surprises. Pair it with a low-profile bracket and a managed switch, and it disappears into the infrastructure while doing its job reliably.
