22-inch I-Series 5 with Android

A 21.5-inch Full HD touch panel in a fixed tablet body

The Elo 22-inch I-Series 5 is a touch computer that combines a 21.5-inch diagonal active matrix LCD with the processing, connectivity and mounting that signage or self-service projects need in one unit. The 16:9 panel runs at 1920 x 1080 with a 60Hz refresh rate, and its projected capacitive touch layer registers up to 10 touch points. Elo specifies touch that works through up to 6mm of glass or 3mm of plastic, which matters when the screen sits behind a protective cover at a counter or kiosk.

Brightness is rated at 250 nits for the LCD panel and 215 nits through the TouchPro touch layer, with a 1,000:1 contrast ratio and a 178-degree viewing angle both horizontally and vertically. Those figures suit indoor areas with controlled lighting. Sites with large windows or strong daylight should test the screen position before committing to a layout.

Processing, Android 14 and remote management

Inside is a Qualcomm Snapdragon QCS6490 processor, 8GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, running Android 14 with Google Play Services. Elo's EloView tool lets administrators deploy content and manage devices across a fleet remotely, which saves site visits when a menu, timetable or promotion changes. The datasheet mentions planned Android 16 and Android 18 upgrades available through an OS 360 subscription, along with bi-monthly Android security updates under the same package. Buyers planning a multi-year deployment should ask for the OS 360 options to be included in their quotation.

Ports, peripherals and power

The unit has four micro-USB 2.0 Edge Connect ports for peripherals. One port supplies 1.2A and the other three 500mA each, so check the power draw of any accessory before connecting it. Other connections include a USB 3.0 port rated at 900mA, a USB-C output, a micro SD slot, GPIO, Gigabit Ethernet and a DC input. The USB-C output supplies up to 15W with the standard 65W power brick and up to 27W with the optional 90W brick.

Power input is rated for 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz, and typical consumption is 15.2W on, 2.9W in sleep and 0.2W off. Power over Ethernet is supported through the Elo PoE Device, part number E669163, which removes the need for a separate power point where the network supports PoE.

Where it fits in Qatar

A branch of a bank in West Bay could use the I-Series as a self-service account terminal, with a card reader fitted to one Edge Connect port and PoE running to the back-office switch. A clinic reception in Al Sadd could mount it on a tabletop stand for patient registration, with the 8MP autofocus webcam and dual digital microphones available for a video call to a specialist. A retail store in Msheireb could show promotional content from a wall, fixed with the built-in VESA mount on a 75mm or 100mm pattern.

Planning the installation

The unit weighs 3.7 kg without packaging and measures 524.8 mm x 324.8 mm x 29.7 mm. Wall mounting uses the 75mm or 100mm VESA pattern, and a site survey confirms the wall or counter can take the weight. Operating temperature is 0°C to 40°C with 20% to 80% humidity, so the unit belongs in air-conditioned space. Qatar summer temperatures can exceed 45°C, so keep it away from outdoor, unshaded or sun-facing positions. The box includes North American and European power cables, so confirm the lead against Qatar's BS 1363 (Type G) sockets before installation. The datasheet lists a 2-year warranty. SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys, and quotations are usually issued within one working day.
