PHILIPS NORTH AMERICA ANNOUNCES NEW 20-INCH TOUCH MONITOR/RECEIVER 
UTILIZING THE INTELLITOUCH(R) TOUCHSCREEN OVERLAY FROM ELO TOUCHSYSTEMS, 
INC.

Oak Ridge, Tenn.

Philips North America announces a new 20-inch touch monitor/receiver for 
its CD-i players utilizing the IntelliTouch(R) touchscreen overlay from 
Elo TouchSystems, Inc.  "This new touch monitor offers state-of-the-art 
touch technology coupled with our PA3520C monitor/receiver to offer the 
easiest to install and use, highest quality system available," says 
Robert A. Harris, Vice President of Marketing for Philips Professional 
Products.  "The touchscreen plugs into the front or rear I/O port for 
simple installation.  The systems requires no calibration and no special 
set-up or touch drivers in the application. 
  The Green Book CD-i standard made provisions for an absolute pointing 
device such as a touchscreen.  Unfortunately up until now there wasn't a 
touchscreen/monitor fully integrated and agency approved which could 
deliver this," says Harris.  "Now we have one."

In addition to its ease of use, the IntelliTouch touchscreen has several 
unique features.  It's constructed from a clear glass panel for maximum 
image clarity and durability.  The video is as clear as the original and 
the touch system is unaffected by minor scratches so it's excellent for 
public kiosk applications.  "The system looks great, is really fast and 
responsive and gives us the resolution we need," says Harris.  
"Additionally, we were very concerned about the quality of the product 
and the company behind it.   We chose Elo TouchSystems because of their 
dedication to quality, service and the unique product characteristics 
which make this a very attractive product for our customers."

CD-i is an excellent delivery platform for retail point-of-information 
displays, training and product presentations.  The touchscreen allows 
the user to interact with the content in a very direct way to maximize 
the impact.  CD-i is being used in a variety of applications to provide 
customers with an affordable, interactive delivery system for a host of 
applications.  As an example, car shoppers can get information on the 
models and options available at their own pace.  They can also see the 
various color combinations available from which to choose.

The monitor has full agency approvals including FCC, UL, CSA and is 
warranted by Philips.  It is available immediately through Philips or 
any of their authorized professional resellers.  The suggested list 
price for the complete touchscreen PA3520TS monitor is $1,595.
