What this blog covers
This blog covers industrial monitors: how to choose a display, how to compare touch types, how mounting works, and how a monitor fits into a surveillance system, a kiosk, a terminal or a control station.
Start from your question. A buyer who is choosing a display for a surveillance system should start with the surveillance display guides, which discuss cameras, recorders, resolution chains and viewing layouts. A buyer who is choosing between touch types should start with the resistive versus capacitive guide, which compares the two technologies by working conditions rather than by specification claims. A buyer who is planning a mounting arrangement should start with the panel mount guide, the open frame versus panel mount guide and the mounts guide, which discuss cut-outs, fixing methods and service access. A buyer who is unsure whether a monitor or a PC is needed should start with the PC versus monitor guide, which explains the difference between a display and a self-contained computer.
How to use the guides with the product pages
Read a guide for the question first, then check the values on the product page: brightness and interface figures are listed per model on the product pages. Then state the requirements in an enquiry, so we can confirm the model.
Where a size, a resolution or a rating appears only as a category title, it is not a product. Where a value is not listed for a model, ask for it per model in the enquiry rather than assuming a generic figure.
A note on the models mentioned in the guides
The six listed models are the 7 inch C0716, the 8 inch C1208, the 10.1 inch C1016, the 11.6 inch C1116, the 15 inch C15 and the 15.6 inch C1516. The first four models have complete listed specifications, while the 15 inch and 15.6 inch models have incomplete specifications, with some values confirmed per model. Where a value is needed, use the complete models: the two larger models have gaps in their specifications, and their missing values are not filled in from smaller models. A buyer comparing models should keep that difference in mind, because a model with an incomplete specification should not be ordered on the basis of a guide alone.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a quotation?
Send an enquiry with the size, touch type, interface list and quantity you need, plus the application. Quotations are confirmed per order, and specifications are confirmed per model before payment. We do not list fixed selling figures.
What certification documents can you provide?
CCC, CE, FCC and RoHS are stated by the company. Certificates are available upon request. If a buyer needs a certificate for a specific model, ask for it in the enquiry and name the model, so the correct document can be checked.
Are the specifications on this page valid for every model?
No. Specifications are shown per model and must not be read across the whole range. Where a value is not listed for a model, confirm it per model in the enquiry rather than assuming a generic figure.
