Recommended Touch Screen for M2GO
The M2GO is designed to be operated with an external touchscreen with a minimum screen
resolution of 800x600 pixels.
We strongly recommend that you do not use the M2GO without a touchscreen because the
controller software is designed around a touch interface.
Without the touchscreen the system will provide a poor user experience and is difficult to use.
The M2GO can be operated with the following touchscreen types:
Generic Windows 7 Touch compatible screens that do not require custom drivers
ELO Touch Systems iTouch, Accutouch and IntelliTouch compatible screens.
VGA, HDMI or DVI
USB 1.1 or 2.0
Martin recommends a 16:9 ELO touchscreen with iTouch technology.
A recommended screen is the ELO 2201L (part number E382790) which is available worldwide
through ELO retail partners.
