What Size Display Is Best for My Business?

Why Display Size Matters

Display size influences how users interact with your content. Too small, and customers struggle to read. Too large, and you waste power, space, and cost. ELO offers sizes from 10.1” (ELO 1002L) up to 22” (ELO 2202L) and beyond.

Each size fits specific workflows. A 10” touchscreen may work perfectly for a check-in counter, while a 22” is better for menu boards or dashboards viewed at a distance.

Key Factors to Consider

1. Viewing Distance

• Under 3 feet → 10”–15” displays work best.

• 3–6 feet → 15”–22” for readability and touch accuracy.

• 6+ feet → large signage or non-touch panels for visibility.

2. Content Density

• For touch applications, always size for larger buttons (minimum 9 mm per target).

• Text-heavy content requires more vertical space—choose 21.5”+ models.

• Video or image-based content can use smaller screens effectively.

3. Mounting Environment

• Countertop → 10”–15”.

• Wall-mounted → 15”–22”.

• Freestanding kiosk → 22” or larger.

• Shelf-edge or tight spaces → 10” only.

4. Ergonomics and Accessibility
Ensure the user can comfortably reach all touch zones.
For ADA compliance, the screen’s center should sit between 48”–52” from floor level.

Real-World Recommendations

Final Thoughts

The best size depends on distance, use case, and user interaction.
In general, use smaller screens for personal touch interactions and larger ones for shared or viewing-only content. ELO’s consistent design language ensures all sizes integrate perfectly across one brand network.
