Crestron V24-C 24" HD Touch Screen Display Preview

[admin]

Crestron released a new high-definition V-Panel touch screen this week. Its V24-C 24" HD Touch Screen Display blends full touch screen navigation with HD graphics and video. The display also has DigitalMedia 8G+ connectivity and is widescreen in orientation. The result is a single HD display that can combine touch screen, television, and PC monitors into one. When you connect the V24-C to a Crestron DGE-2 Digital Graphics Engine, it allows consumers to access digital media content, watch videos, listen to music, surf the Internet, and provide digital screen input without the use of a PC. The V24-C allows gesture swiping to control the interface and facilitates browsing music and movies as well as navigating television program guides and radio stations or Internet streaming content.

Other than size, it doesn't seem to do much the 12" and 15" touch-screens couldn't.

I didn't see a price in the articles I read- are they afraid to say? The price of the 12" was enough to make someone's eyes roll back into their head.

V-24 panel is $5,200 list price.

Of course, the DGE-2 engine to drive it is not included and that'll run you (ready for this?)...

$8,000!!!

Frankly, we just did a setup with a touch monitor NEC with a graphics engine running it and it worked very well for just a few thousand dollars.

Still, at the end of the day, I'll give a vote for Crestron in many homes for pure reliability on a nice system. Combine a solid RF remote with Crestron and you get a reliable system for not a lot of cash. Especially through eBay where there is a ton of Crestron product available.

$14,200 for a 24" TV/touch panel- now that's just good, clean fun!

As reliable as Crestron is, it's not absolutely reliable and I would never pull the trigger for that amount of money without a warranty by buying it on ebay.

I went to Crestron training in '05. Guess whose controller didn't work? (and it was provided by Crestron)-
