BEAVERTON, Ore., 1 September 2006. Planar Systems Inc. has debuted its first touchscreen display for emergency response and fleet vehicles. A specialty industrial display, Planar's LX1200 is a durable monitor designed to record and exchange valuable information in harsh, rugged, and unpredictable car environments, such as public safety and transportation vehicles.
