Portable 17" Touch Display
This Thinkstar monitor combines a 17-inch LED panel with capacitive touch input in a portable form factor. It connects via HDMI and VGA and includes a stand for counter or desk placement. The 4:3 aspect ratio suits legacy point-of-sale software.
1280 x 1024 Resolution Decides Fit
The panel delivers a maximum resolution of 1280 by 1024 pixels with a typical 5 ms response time. Brightness reaches 300 cd/m² and the contrast ratio is 800:1. Horizontal viewing angles extend to 160 degrees for clear side visibility.

Questions about this item
What does the 1280 x 1024 resolution look like on a 17 inch screen?
The 4:3 aspect ratio matches classic POS layouts so menus and buttons fill the panel without stretching.
How does the HDMI and VGA choice limit what I can display?
Both inputs support the native 1280 x 1024 resolution at 60 Hz so the panel shows its full pixel grid from either source.
What does the included stand need to sit securely on a counter?
The stand attaches to the rear VESA mount and provides a low-profile base that rests flat on any level surface.
