Clarification: Touch panel testing exception for Displays, AIO PC’s and Notebooks
In our September issue of Technical Update we wrote about a touch panel exception for Displays, AIO’s and Notebooks.

We have now recalculated it based on a 95% confidence, which is the interval used throughout TCO Certified. We have also added a minimum color triangle area requirement for Displays and AIO PCs, based on these new results.
