Stealth Computer ships rugged 24-inch LCD monitor

While most rugged PCs are of the laptop or tablet variety these days, those wanting to lug around a bigger, more capable system now have new component to add to their rig courtesy of Stealth Computer, which has just trotted out what it claims to be the industry's first rugged 24-inch LCD monitor with a touchscreen interface. That ruggedness comes courtesy of an all-steel enclosure, which promises to keep the LCD safe from water, dust and dirt, although Stealth doesn't seem to be making any promises about drops. Otherwise, you can expect the usual 1920 x 1200 resolution, along with a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 5 ms response time, DVI and VGA ports, an optional anti-reflective overlay, and even an optional capacitive touchscreen sensor. All of that comes at an expectedly hefty price, however, with the SV-2400 setting you back between $2,000 and $2,500 depending on the configuration.

Finally something I'd feel comfortable installing in the restroom. If it is truly waterproof, when in doubt lysol the thing!

who would feel comfortable using a fixed computer in a restroom? are we going to resort to single-use touch screen protectors?

I personally like the versaview line from Rockwell Automation. They've been in this business for a long time. Their industrial grade models have options like solid state drives, stainless steel and touch screen... holds up well in harsh environments.

Have you ever worked in a warehouse, shipping department, department store, or any place other than an office?

This is not for your desktop.

This would be great on a sailboat for navigation/GPS use.

I think the prodjpc is more useful as it has a touch screen and is rackmountable. See it here: http://djdestruction.com/blog and here: http://prodjpc.com
