When pressed, they make contact and inform the computer of the user\u2019s action. One significant advantage of a resistive touch screen is that almost any object can be used for input (a pen, a tool, a gloved finger, etc.). That is why resistive monitors are often used in restaurants, factories and hospitals due to their high resistance to liquids and contaminants;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3957 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/idmc.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/567-1024x602.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"376\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Features of resistive displays:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">affordable cost;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">high resistance to dust and water;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">handwriting recognition;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">low sensitivity;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">poorer contrast due to additional reflections from the extra material layers placed over the screen;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">no multi\u2011touch functionality;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vulnerability to damage from sharp objects.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Capacitive touch monitors<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Projected capacitive (PCAP) touch technology is most often used in smartphones and tablets, but it is quickly becoming the preferred option for larger touch screens and terminals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A capacitive touch display acts as a conductor. Since the human body also conducts electricity, touching the monitor alters the electrical charge on the screen. The location of this change is then used to determine where the screen was touched. To detect a touch correctly, a bare finger or a special stylus must be used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Features of capacitive displays:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">multi\u2011touch capabilities: pinch\u2011to\u2011zoom, drag objects and more;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">protective features;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">long service life;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">high touch accuracy;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">excellent image quality;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">modern design;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">built\u2011in camera;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more expensive than resistive screens.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attention!

It\u2019s important to consider every aspect: ease of use, users (staff or customers), cost and, importantly, display size. If the screen is too small, customers may not notice it, and it will be inconvenient for staff. If the monitor is too large, it may look awkward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A properly selected touch display will become a useful and stylish addition to a restaurant, hotel or store.
