I will have to try the 3M line; I have been using the ELO monitors which seem
to fail after 18 months of use.
Anyone else using a company they can recommend I would love to have additional
choices.

Hi Andrew,
These panels are very new and so the lack of reviews is not surprising. In fact
this new multitouch series won't be available, in Australia at least, until
April this year.
For what it is worth I have successfully used 3M's single touch capacitive
ChassisTouch panels for over a decade in museum environments and my expectation
would be that the company would engineer this new series to the same high
standard.
If the thermal requirements are respected, it is properly installed and fed
clean power then it should offer a long service life.
I would suggest you spend some weeks evaluating a loan unit in order to be more
confident that it will meet your needs, particularly since this is the first
time that 3M are entering the multi (as opposed to single or dual-touch) market.
Pay particular attention to the brightness and direction of lighting on the
gallery floor in the location where the display will ultimately be installed
and test that the viewing angles work for visitors of various heights.
All the best with your project,
Michael Borthwick
