Shuttle XP19 touchscreen display's official images and specs unearthed

While it's been spotted at Computex for a couple days now, we got our hands on an official picture of the new Shuttle XP19 widescreen touchscreen LCD display. We also dug up some spec bits for you: you're looking at a 19-inch Wa-Si TFT active matrix screen, 1680 x 1050 resolution, 5ms response time, 1000:1 contrast ratio, and 170-degree viewing angles. Oh - and it all comes in a shiny metal case.

Now if I was building an automated home, I'd definitely think about using this thing.

Is it resistive or capacitive?

[no6969el Posted Jun 7th 2008 8:34PM]

um... its shiny...so irresistible? ;)

[rafer Posted Jun 7th 2008 8:40PM]

Hey Clak is the basis of that statement taken from evidence you heard about in those ridiculous Mac Vs. PC Ads?

[jakem Posted Jun 7th 2008 8:41PM]

You're predictably boring Clak.

[dickweed Posted Jun 7th 2008 8:48PM]

Way to ruin a post clak. Here take this pic ummm have fun with it. Don't come back either.

Okay, so clak is resistive; what about this monitor?

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 7th 2008 9:25PM]

DON'T ARGUE WITH CLAK EVERYONE!!! take a look at his history on here

[Aguiluz Posted Jun 7th 2008 9:30PM]

I think clak has a double personality.

Some comments are great, some comments were pluggard fanboyism. :-(

[Aguiluz Posted Jun 7th 2008 9:36PM]

clak @ Jun 7th 2008 8:36PM
"It's running Vista and Vista sucks. HARD."

Nope, it's a monitor. Last time I heard, monitors "run" whatever thay are connected to. Mac, Windows, Linux.....

[Nomi Posted Jun 7th 2008 10:29PM]

Wait till Apple comes out with a touchscreen monitor and/or tablet, then clak will get an erection.

[Aguiluz Posted Jun 8th 2008 12:08AM]

Nomi... WINS!

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 10th 2008 7:06AM]

It's not a touch screen monitor, Just a regular 19" LCD monitor.

Please don't misleading the readers. And please check the source information caerfully before publishing in the future.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 9th 2008 1:28AM]

damnit.

clak gives everyone who ever even thought about owning an Apple product a bad name.

Why don't you just rename yourself to Artie MacStrawman?

waitasec... maybe he's like one of those people who PRETEND to be members of a group only to make members of that group look ridiculous...

[Mushrooshi Posted Jun 7th 2008 8:30PM]

This looks very big and heavy, but not in the bad "this is too clunky" way.

Instead, this looks like if you dropped it 50 feet above a crowd of pedestrians, 4 people would be hospitalized, but the screen would remain intact.

In short, this looks sturdy,

[thesmileman Posted Jun 7th 2008 8:31PM]

Is is multitouch?

[no6969el Posted Jun 7th 2008 8:33PM]

thats something that is worth mentioning and since its not ima say def not!

[thesmileman Posted Jun 7th 2008 9:08PM]

I assumed the same however something about the photo and presentation made me think it would be multitouch.

[smcquade Posted Jun 9th 2008 6:36AM]

presumably we will see more of these once Windows 7 is launched, and we all get itching for some touchy feely computing

[dickweed Posted Jun 7th 2008 8:32PM]

Me want. Does it have mac drivers?

Oh yeah... That was a serious question so please no fanboi battles...

[Mushrooshi Posted Jun 7th 2008 8:34PM]

I know Macs support multitouch fingerpads, but do they support touchscreens at all too?

[dickweed Posted Jun 7th 2008 8:38PM]

Idk. Probably and if not I'm sure someone will write a driver for it.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 7th 2008 8:56PM]

What do you mean mac drivers? this thing isn't just a monitor its a full computer...

[Quiksilv3r Posted Jun 7th 2008 8:48PM]

I thought Macs didn't need drivers????

[psyclotron Posted Jun 7th 2008 9:28PM]

quik, that's either ignorance or bad humor.

[Nomi Posted Jun 7th 2008 10:31PM]

No, its neither, Apples are all plug and play everything aren't they...that "foreign" camera that you can just plug in, remember that mac vs. pc ad.

Back on topic, I am sure drivers exist, or something does since they did make the modbook. Anyone remember that?

[PhoenixFox Posted Jun 8th 2008 9:23AM]

@Sintax

Wait what? what have you been smoking?

[Cal Posted Jun 7th 2008 8:41PM]

Does it eat wallets?

[GoodBytes Posted Jun 7th 2008 9:56PM]

nha, but it does eat bank accounts!

[Sneakz Posted Jun 7th 2008 8:43PM]

Finally, a 19 inch panel that got past that dreadful 1440x900 res.

[RAMz Posted Jun 7th 2008 8:45PM]

I agree.

[Quiksilv3r Posted Jun 7th 2008 8:49PM]

There are a ton of them that do...lol

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 8th 2008 10:24PM]

too bad it couldnt make the jump to a 1920x1200 res for some 1080p action

[RAMz Posted Jun 7th 2008 8:45PM]

I admit...

I forgot this company existed.

[palehorse Posted Jun 7th 2008 9:01PM]

This would come down to weight... any ballparks?

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 8th 2008 10:43AM]

Camden Yards?

[ijyt Posted Jun 7th 2008 9:03PM]

Hmm, if the price is good, I might actually consider buying this to replace my aging monitor.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 7th 2008 9:16PM]

Pretty big chin considering it's just a monitor and not an all-in-one.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 7th 2008 9:31PM]

Dude,
It's a freaking Shuttle.
they don't make anything that's not an all in one...

and to clak:
yeah, you are a horrible person...
disgracing that Apple box with a dell...
how could you?
[I'm not a fanboy. I just hate Dell with a passion]

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 7th 2008 9:39PM]

Seriously, it's like the Jay Leno of Monitors.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 7th 2008 11:48PM]

Niki @ Jun 7th 2008 9:31PM

Dude,
It's a freaking Shuttle.
they don't make anything that's not an all in one...
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Huh? ... as far as I know, Shuttle doesn't make a single all-in-one (I could be mistaken) ... but it being a Shuttle certainly doesn't mean that it's "all-in-one" (whatever that means) ... I'm assuming we're talking about a large-format UMPC.

In case it isn't clear to everyone at this point ... THIS IS A MONITOR ... THAT'S IT ... sweet monitor, but nothing else

see ... http://us.shuttle.com/News.aspx (which has more detail on this model)

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 8th 2008 9:15PM]

@duckshoot...

sorry, wrong terminology...
Shuttle makes barebones systems.
I assumed this one wouldn't be any different.
My bad. Thanks for the link though.

[heyguy Posted Jun 7th 2008 9:25PM]

What an awful rendering. It looks like they took a plain metal box and photoshopped a Vista desktop screenshot and "Shuttle" onto it.

[sbeck14 Posted Jun 7th 2008 9:42PM]

This looks pretty sweet.
Now if only apple would integrate touchscreens into their iMac...
Or we can just buy this beast and hack OS X on it.

[Wiigee Posted Jun 7th 2008 10:28PM]

hook it up to a mac, its a display.

[SkonOfVulcan Posted Jun 8th 2008 11:48PM]

Just plug it into a Mac no hacking required. IT"S A MONITOR!!!

[Wiigee Posted Jun 7th 2008 10:17PM]

its a display, not all-in-one. there are no spec for all in one.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 7th 2008 10:36PM]

more and more are coming out for the pc, but vista can't use it, right? don't we have to wait for windows 7 to maybe take advantage of it. And i say maybe because vista was supposed to take care of my problems but it doesn't sitting on my bookcase.

i'm betting on an apple cinema display touchscreen at the wwdc. it's been a long time since that monitor got an update.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 7th 2008 10:43PM]

Looks like the ugly sister of the iMac.

Aww bless, she does her best to get around despite having no leg.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 8th 2008 1:19AM]

I have a question: Why in the screenshot are they running Windows Vista RC1? Look at the lower corner of the screen.

They went onto google images, got some random Vista image, and photoshoped it on. :-)

[NightBlade Posted Jun 8th 2008 5:50AM]

You're right...
