Resistive Touch Screen Monitors

Resistive touch screen monitors are a great consumer or small business monitor that can be used for many different types of applications. Resistive technology can be thought of taking multiple layers and putting them on top of the LCD screen. One of the most important parts of these layers have a metallic electrically conducted material. This allows the monitor to sense touching due to these layers connecting together.

Pros of resistive monitors:
  • Cost effective strategy of incorporating touch screen monitors in a home or business
  • Easy to use and doesn't require the use a pen or touching device.

Cons of resistive monitors:
  • Sharp objects can easily damage the layering
  • Damaged layers requires a new screen
  • Monitor clarity is reduced due to these added layers

A good example of a touch screen monitor is sold at SewellDirect.com.
