the purpose of this page is to help you choose touchscreen built by different matrials.such as plastic, glass, steel, powder-coated metal, and aluminum (AL), offer a spectrum of characteristics that cater to varying needs and preferences.
Durable touchscreen monitor, is what Horsent is aiming at and BE offering, Besides design, manufacturing and Quality control, the material itself plays a crucial role in determining the device's overall performance, durability, aesthetics, and cost.
Below, we analyse the material spectrum of our touch monitor and touch all-in-ones, exploring the pros and cons of each, considering goals like durability, cost, aesthetics, and weight, to get a full appreciation of what this means.
Glass as the most basic material of the front face of touch monitor and touch panel, known for its premium appearance and excellent touch sensitivity, the full, flat and flush glass is a preferred choice for high-end touchscreen monitors. Glass-front touchscreen is easy-maintenance and water resistance.
Horsent offer hardness Mohs 7 glass for durability and scratch resistance to shoulder heavy load and long product service life.
Shortages need to consider: YES, like any other glass, it is Fragile and easy to leave fingerprint.
Horsent offer anti vandal, chemical strengthen, oil/fingerprint resistance glass as touch panel to protect the daily issues.
Horsent use flush 3mm tempered glass surface for its 32inch touch monitor
Steel: Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel,a robust and durable material, lends a solid and substantial feel to touchscreen monitors. Horsent use carbon Steel in the frames, housing of open frame touchscreen, with proper treatment to Corrosion, with amazing resistance to serious environmental impact and external forces, makes it suitable for industrial or rugged applications. However, its weight are important consideration.

Powder-Coated Metal Combining durability with a visually appealing finishing look, powder-coated steel offers a premium appearance and resistance to corrosion, ideal for high-end monitors where a sleek and durable design is essential.
Its shortage remains as much weight as is worthy of mention for installation and shipping.

Aluminum (AL):it strikes a balance between weight, durability, and aesthetics.
Its lightweight nature, resistance to corrosion, and modern appearance make it suitable for modern, stylish touchscreen monitors. While not as robust as steel, aluminum provides a good compromise for various applications.However, the AL cost ranks highest among the major materials list.
Examples:
Horsent 21.5inch new touch monitor with sleek Aluminum profile
Plastic: Plastic is a lightweight and cost-effective material, making it suitable for budget-friendly touchscreen monitors. However, its susceptibility to scratches and lower durability compared to metals and glass may limit its use in more demanding environments. That is why Horsent use few plastic in our touch monitors or all in one.
Let’s compare them again by its dimension of ·
Durability IS THE KING, The benefits of using a durable touchscreen include increased reliability and reduced maintenance costs. Durable touchscreens are less likely to break or malfunction, which means that they can withstand more wear and tear over years of time. This can lead to fewer repair costs and a longer lifespan for the device.
·
The winner is Steel and powder-coated metal offer the highest durability.
·Glass is durable but can shatter upon impact.
·Aluminum provides a good balance of durability and weight.
·Plastic is the least durable.
Cost:
·Plastic is the least expensive
·Steel and powder-coated metal are generally more expensive.
·Glass and aluminum fall in the mid-to-high price range.
·Horsent apply steel and glass as the major of its material while building its touch monitor, whilst offering low cost due to the lower cost on labor cost, massive production.
Looks:
·The appearance is not subjected to solo material building but engineering design and art still varies from different point of view. However, In general: Glass, stainless steel, and powder-coated metal offer a premium appearance.
·Aluminum provides a modern and sleek look.
·Plastic may not convey a premium aesthetic.
·
Weight:
·
·Plastic and aluminum are the lightest.
·Steel and glass are heavier, with steel being the heaviest.
In conclusion, Horsent’s material selection for touchscreen monitors align with the intended use, budget constraints, and the desired balance between durability, cost and aesthetics, as the ultimate goal, Horsent is able to balance the manufacturing of touch screens, that are durable and still cost competitive.
