Best Large Touchscreen for Restaurant Kitchen

[scottatwittenberg]

I am looking to setup a touchscreen monitor and a computer in a restaurant kitchen. It will probably be run on a Dell XE computer so the heatsink won't get clogged with Flour or something.

I know that ELO makes a lot of POS touchscreens. So one of those would be a likely candidate for something that is durable and easy to clean. I don't think many consumer models would be able to stand up the the environment.

Has anyone done something like this? Should I really be asking in a different section of the forum?
Can anyone comment on durability / clean-ability of any touchscreen monitors they have used?

We are looking for 1920x1080 or other 1680x1050, not some small 15 inch POS screen..

You probably want a glass screen, to aid with the cleaning. I'm not sure that any of the Elo models have a glass cover. A glass cover will limit the places you can position the monitor, due to reflections.

Are there technical requirements for the touch interface? Is a single point touch workable with the POS system, or do you need multitouch?

Do you have a rough budget?

Should the screen have an chassis, or do you intend to integrate it into an enclosure?

I'd probably look at something like this:
