Desktop monitors are consumer grade monitors that most of the world’s population uses as a display for their computer. A Ruggedized touch screen monitor is basically a desktop monitor that is stripped down to the bare chassis and components with a touch glass overlay integrated to make it easier for Original Engineer Manufacturers (OEMs) to integrate the unit into a larger enclosure. For the most part, an Industrial Touch Screen Monitor is best known as an open frame touch screen monitor or an open frame monitor. The unit itself is a metal chassis that holds the internal components of the monitor, along with the LCD panel together with no housing or bezel. A key component that industrial touch screen monitors have is that all components are made of industrial grade materials and will typically last longer and be much more durable than that of consumer-grade products. With OSCAN Industrial grade touch screen displays all mechanical dimensions of the unit will remain the same throughout the lifetime of the monitor. In most cases, industrial touch screen monitors have parts that are much easier to replace or repair, if there is a damaged component. What are Industrial Touchscreen Monitor Applications? Industrial touch screen monitors are suited for heavy-duty applications that are continuously being used, whether by workers or the public. A few good examples would be CNC machines for industrial applications. In this type of environment, industrial touch screen monitors are always being put to the test to endure harsh operating conditions, where the unit needs to last, otherwise the whole unit will not function. Another example of a harsh environment would be a Kiosk. Often, industrial grade touch screen monitors are integrated into a Kiosk to endure the constant approach of people who will put the Kiosk through lots of abuse. In general, an industrial touch screen monitor is primarily used to integrate into larger enclosures or machines to operate. Industrial touch screen monitors will most likely be used in applications that require a durable monitor that can last a long time and be put through a series of harsh operating conditions. This technology is becoming incredibly pervasive, with most cell phones, tablets, ticket vending machines, ATM’s, self-service kiosks and even car GPS systems being operated by touch screen technology. What you’re unlikely to know if you’re not involved in the industry is that there are five different kinds of touch screen technologies and each one boasts a unique suite of functions and benefits, which we shall be exploring in this blog.

As the demand for mobile devices in life and work increases, we have to consider how to improve portability without losing computing power and functions. At this time, the combination of Raspberry Pi and PC monitor can provide an excellent solution, allowing us to complete computing tasks conveniently anywhere.   In this article, we will introduce how to build a portable computer with Raspberry Pi and LCD monitor.   Step 1. Prepare your Raspberry Pi and Desktop monitor   First, you need to buy a Raspberry Pi, which can be easily obtained on the Internet. In addition, you need to choose an LCD monitor according to your specific needs. Depending on the actual situation, you may need to choose a high-definition LCD monitor or a small-size LCD monitor, etc.   Step 2. Connect Raspberry Pi and LCD monitor   Now, you need to connect the Raspberry Pi and LCD monitor. Depending on the type of LCD monitor you choose, you may need to use an HDMI, VGA, or DVI converter to achieve the connection. In this case, VGA monitor, HDMI monitor as well as DVI monitor are all suitable choice for  the Raspberry Pi.   Step 3. Install the operating system   Next, you need to install the Linux system or other operating system supported by the Raspberry Pi and save it on your SD memory card. You can learn more about the operating system through the documents provided by the Raspberry Pi official website or search for other related documents on the Internet.   Step 4. Install the required software   After you have installed the required operating system, you need to install some software to complete the required computing tasks. Depending on your needs, you may need to install software such as a web browser, office suite, programming software, etc.   Step 5. Connect external devices   To complete your portable computer, you also need to connect external devices such as a mouse, keyboard, USB drive, etc., so that you can complete computing tasks more conveniently and efficiently.   Step 6. Complete the setup   Finally, you need to complete the setup to ensure that your portable computer runs according to your actual needs. After completing the setup, you can now turn on the Raspberry Pi as a portable computer to complete computing tasks.   Summary   In order to help our customers able to achieve a more convenient way, we can can help to install the Raspberry Pi at the back side of our monitors by monitor vesa mounts. So if you have any inquiry for Raspberry Pi monitors, just feel free to contact with OSCAN! Meanwhile, using Raspberry Pi and LCD monitor to build a portable computer can achieve many advantages such as high portability and strong expandability, allowing you to efficiently complete computing tasks at any time and place. Moreover, using Raspberry Pi and LCD monitor to build a portable computer can also make your life and work more convenient and efficient.
