Trying to Determine which KDS Touch Screen Compute...

Sasquatch164 · ‎03-21-2023

Hello Community! I have a quick question regarding KDS Displays. I am looking at an ELO 22 Inch Touchscreen Display Computer to use for my KDS. It comes with either Windows 10 or an Android version. Is either one of these OK to use with the Square POS system, or is one better than the other? Or does someone have a better option than ELO? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Square KDS is compatible with the following Android devices:

If you want to use a different Android device, the following requirements must be met:

8"+ screen
2 GB RAM
OS 9 + Device"

Price goes up as screen size goes up. Just make sure if you don't get elo that you get at least android 9+ which shouldn't be an issue. I saw some decent prices on Amazon for an elo22.

Donnie, thank you so much for the quick response. I was kind of leaning that way, but still wasn't sure. I certainly appreciate your input!

Hi just curious if anyone has any suggestions on which touchscreen works best. Has anyone found the Android version buggy compared to IPAD?
