Private-label monitors and touch screens allow businesses to rebrand OEM (original equipment manufacturer) displays under their own brand. This is ideal for companies looking to offer customized solutions without investing in full-scale manufacturing.
What Are Private-Label Monitors & Touch Screens?
- Definition: Displays produced by OEMs but sold under another brand’s name.
- Customization Options:
- Branding (logos, colors, packaging)
- Size, resolution, and panel type (LCD, OLED, etc.)
- Touch technology (resistive, capacitive, IR)
- Software & firmware modifications
