Planar Systems PT1945R 19" 5:4 75Hz SXGA LCD Single-Touch Specialty POS Monitor

The Planar 997-5971-01 is an LCD monitor with a 19 inch single touch screen that fits naturally into point of sale stations, retail kiosks, hospital check-in desks, and government service counters. It delivers a straightforward user experience that helps customers, patients, or staff complete transactions quickly and confidently.

A native resolution of 1280 x 1024 lines up perfectly with software written for the 5 to 4 aspect ratio, so buttons and text stay crisp and correctly proportioned. The panel refreshes at up to 75 Hz, produces a 1000 to 1 contrast ratio, and responds in 5 milliseconds, keeping scrolling receipts and on-screen keypads smooth and readable. Brightness reaches 250 nits when touch is disabled and 200 nits when it is active, giving you clear visibility under normal store or office lighting.

The screen uses five wire resistive technology that registers a single touch from a bare finger, a gloved hand, or a stylus. That versatility is valuable at checkout lines where employees wear latex gloves, in medical intake areas where hygiene matters, or in factories where dust and debris are common.

Connection options include HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA, so the monitor works with new or legacy computers without adapters. A USB Type-B port carries the touch data, while a 3.5 mm jack feeds the integrated stereo speakers that are rated at 1 watt each, useful for audible alerts or short training videos.

Setup is straightforward. The stand tilts from minus 5 to 90 degrees, letting cashiers angle the screen toward customers for signature capture or swivel it back for programming. If counter space is tight, the 100 x 100 millimeter VESA pattern on the back makes wall or pole mounting easy.

Whether you are replacing aging POS displays, building a self-service kiosk, or adding an interactive screen to a patient intake station, this Planar model combines dependable touch performance with flexible installation features to keep your operation moving smoothly.
