Open Frame Monitor
An open frame monitor is a display panel supplied without a finished enclosure, for building into a cabinet, a kiosk or a piece of industrial equipment. Our listed models are described by size and touch type: state the mounting form in the enquiry so the correct version is quoted.

What open frame means in practice
Mounting form decides how a monitor fits into a finished product, and it should be settled before size or touch type is finalised. An open frame monitor is supplied as a panel for building into a cabinet or a kiosk, so the buyer takes responsibility for the surrounding enclosure and for ventilation. An embedded monitor is designed to sit inside an existing opening, while a panel mount monitor is fixed through a cut-out with its front face visible. Each form changes the measurements that matter: overall size, visible area, fixing positions and depth behind the panel. The enquiry should therefore state the mounting form and the available opening, rather than giving only a screen size.
An open frame monitor leaves the enclosure, the ventilation and the front finishing to the buyer or the integrator. That freedom is the point of the form factor: the same panel can be fitted into a machine front, a control cabinet or a self-service kiosk, with a bezel and a mounting arrangement chosen for that product. It also means the buyer must plan the opening size, the fixing positions and the depth behind the panel before ordering, because those measurements are not standardised across all open frame panels. The open frame versus panel mount guide compares the two forms in more detail.
Where open frame monitors are used
Open frame panels appear in industrial control cabinets, in self-service terminals, in gaming and entertainment machines and in custom equipment where a finished consumer monitor would not fit the design. In each case the panel is one component of a larger product, and its interfaces must match the host equipment. Our listed models offer HDMI, VGA and USB interfaces, with AV and BNC on the two smallest models, so a buyer should check the host equipment's outputs against the model page before choosing a size.
Interfaces decide what a monitor can connect to, and they differ between models. Our listed models use combinations of HDMI, VGA, USB, AV and BNC, and the exact list for each model is shown on its own page. A buyer should check the interface list against the existing equipment before ordering, because an adapter can solve a connector mismatch but cannot add a signal type that the monitor does not accept. The enquiry should list the source equipment and the cable types already in use, so any mismatch is found before an order is placed rather than after delivery.
What to confirm before ordering
A useful enquiry names the screen size, the touch type, the interface list, the mounting form and the quantity, and describes the application in one or two sentences. Those five details let us check a listed model against the request without a round of clarification questions. A buyer who is unsure about one detail should say so rather than guessing, because a guessed detail can lead to a quotation for the wrong version. Where a value is not listed for a model, the enquiry is the place to ask for it, and the answer should be treated as model-specific rather than as a promise for the whole range.
Because an open frame monitor is built into another product, the enquiry should include the opening dimensions, the fixing method, the interface list and the quantity. A sample is often worth requesting for an open frame build, so the fit can be checked in the real enclosure before a larger order is placed. Minimum order quantity and lead time are confirmed per model in the enquiry.

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.
