8 Inch Touch Monitor C1208
The C1208 is an 8 inch touch display with a listed resolution of 1024 by 768, a 4:3 panel, a brightness of 400 candela per square metre and resistive or capacitive touch optional. It is the second smallest listed model on this site. This page states only the values listed for the C1208, and it does not borrow figures from any other model.
Listed specification in context
The C1208 lists a contrast ratio of 400:1, a refresh rate of 60 hertz and a plastic housing with a built-in speaker. Its power supply is listed as DC 12 volt at 2 amperes, and its overall dimensions are 198 by 163 by 36 millimetres. Compared with the 7 inch model, the C1208 offers a squarer 4:3 panel and a higher vertical resolution, which suits content laid out in a squarer format, such as a control screen with stacked rows or a single camera feed with a side panel. The aspect ratio difference matters: the same content will look different on a 4:3 screen from how it looks on a 16:9 screen, so a buyer should check the layout against the real aspect ratio.
The interface list for the C1208 matches the 7 inch model: HDMI, VGA, AV, USB and BNC. That breadth suits a small unit that may connect to both digital and analogue sources. The accessories listed for this model are a power supply, a VGA cable, a USB cable, a stand and a manual. The order of that list differs from the 7 inch model's list, but the items are the same kind of items; the page states them as listed for this model rather than assuming a shared accessory kit.
Touch choice for this model
Touch choice is one of the first decisions in an industrial monitor enquiry, and it should be made from the way the screen will actually be used. A resistive touch layer responds to pressure, so it can be operated with a gloved hand or a stylus, while a capacitive touch layer responds to the touch of a finger and suits a familiar swipe-and-tap style of use. Neither type is better in every setting: the right choice depends on gloves, on whether a stylus will be used, on cleaning routines and on how the screen will be mounted. The model pages on this site state the touch type listed for each model, and where a model lists touch as optional, the enquiry should state which touch type is wanted so the correct version is quoted.
Because the C1208 lists touch as resistive or capacitive optional, the enquiry must name the wanted touch type. An enquiry that only says 8 inch touch monitor leaves the touch version undecided, and the quotation may not match the intended use. A buyer who will use gloves or a stylus should ask for the resistive version, while a buyer who wants finger taps should ask for the capacitive version. The touch decision should be made before a sample is requested, so the sample matches the real use.
Use and limits
The C1208 suits a compact control panel, a small machine front or a single-feed viewing position where a squarer screen fits the content better than a widescreen panel. Its limits are those of a small screen: a layout that needs many lines of small text or many simultaneous feeds will be cramped. If the application needs more area, the 10.1 inch or 11.6 inch models should be compared on their own pages, with their own resolutions and aspect ratios.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a quotation?
Send an enquiry with the size, touch type, interface list and quantity you need, plus the application. Quotations are confirmed per order, and specifications are confirmed per model before payment. This site does not list fixed selling figures.
What certification documents can you provide?
CCC, CE, FCC and RoHS are stated by the company. Certificates are available upon request. If a buyer needs a certificate for a specific model, ask for it in the enquiry and name the model, so the correct document can be checked.
Are the specifications on this page valid for every model?
No. Specifications are shown per model and must not be read across the whole range. Where a value is not listed for a model, the page says to confirm per model rather than filling in a generic figure.
