Sceptre Now Offers its Award-Winning 
LCD Flat Panel Monitors with Touch Screen Capabilities

City of Industry, California - Sceptre Technologies, Inc. one of the largest manufacturers of monitors and Pentium notebook computers in the world-is now offering its LCD flat panel monitors with a touch screen feature, allowing users even more application possibilities.

According to Stephen Liu, CEO and President of Sceptre Technologies, Inc., "This integrated LCD/Touch Screen System is designed for applications where space and power are limited, allowing Sceptre to address the needs of a wider range of customers. "

The combination of Sceptre's LCD flat panels and this exciting technology will open up new opportunities in markets that have previously been left unexplored. If you can imagine a location, public or private, where information is stored and retrieved, then Sceptre's LCD/Touch Screen combination will provide the solution. As a POI (point of interest) or POS (point of sale) tool for service industries (e.g. restaurants, retail shops), financial institutions (e.g. banks, ATM's), medical practices, pharmacies, even free-standing kiosks, the demand for flat panels with touch screen capabilities has never been greater. Sceptre's new touch screen feature will offer users not only a small footprint, and space-saving design, but will provide hardware that is highly configurable to suit any requirement and will offer the operator a user-friendly interface. These features, along with the absence of a keyboard, make this feature particularly attractive for military purposes, as well as for use in industrial equipment and for field application, such as instrument control.

Sceptre's Touch Screen option is available now with a price ranging from $300-$400 (depending on selected model). Clients who are interested in receiving more information on this or any other Sceptre product should contact Sceptre's sales department at 800-788-2878.
