Integrated Components Mean Easy and Aesthetic Installation
"The 1229L is a continuation of Elo's commitment to increased value in new products," says Paul Wiener, Elo's marketing manager. "Its multifunction options are integrated ergonomically into the housing and designed to flow with the elegant styling of the monitor. We have reduced the number of peripheral power and communication cables as well as power bricks by incorporating the connectivity inside the monitor. The 1229L allows for a quick and easy installation while providing full functionality in a space-saving design. The addition of the 1229L multifunction integrated touchmonitor establishes Elo as the single point of contact for one of the broadest ranges of designed-for-touch touchmonitors."
