How to choose a display for a Point Of Sale?

When it comes to buying a display for a POS system, there are some important factors to consider such as connection interfaces, aesthetics, software requirements & emulation, and style.

Pole display styles

There are two types of displays that you can choose;

Pole mount displays

Pole mount displays are ideal for any environment where height and visibility are desired. Samsung, Philips, LG, Sony, and Benq are the manufacturers that design pole displays with adjustable viewing features such as tilting and rotating screens.

Counter mount displays

Counter mount Tactile monitors do not rotate or have adjustable view angles and are ideal for areas where pole mount displays are not suitable.

Software requirements and emulation

When choosing a display, it is imperative to know what emulation your point of sale software supports. The LED Monitor should be compatible with any of the following emulations including UTC Standard, UTC Enhanced, EXMAX, Aedex Standard, Epson, or CE 5220.

Connection interfaces

Next, you need to check the connection interface. Usually, the pole displays will connect directly to your receipt printer or via a serial or USB connection. You should check out which connections are available on your Touch Monitor so you can pick the type of interface for your POS display.

Aesthetics

Of course, when selecting the display for a point of sale, you also need to consider the aesthetics such as size, color, mounting style, and display features. Typically the displays are available in white, black, and beige colors. Choose the display that fits your environment and other POS equipment and accessories.
