Product Overview

The MicroTouch M1-156DT-A1 is a 15.6-inch commercial desktop touch monitor combining Full HD resolution, projected capacitive multi-touch, optical bonding and a flexible peripheral ecosystem for modern interactive applications.

Unlike the M1-156DT-A2 monitor-only configuration, the M1-156DT-A1 includes the desktop stand, making it suitable for businesses that require a complete desktop touch-display configuration rather than a separately mounted monitor.

The 15.6-inch TFT LCD provides 1920 × 1080 Full HD resolution, a 16:9 aspect ratio, wide 178° viewing angles and 400-nit brightness through the PCAP touch assembly.

Its projected capacitive touchscreen supports up to 10 simultaneous touch points and uses an optically bonded, etched anti-glare surface with 7H hardness.

Connectivity includes HDMI, USB-C, USB 3.1 Type-A and audio output. Four dedicated USB-C peripheral connections support compatible MicroTouch modular accessories such as a magnetic stripe reader, camera, light bar and barcode scanner.

The M1-156DT-A1 is designed for applications ranging from retail and hospitality to commercial and industrial interactive workstations.

15.6-Inch Full HD Display

The M1-156DT-A1 uses a:

15.6-inch TFT LCD

with native resolution of:

1920 × 1080 Full HD

and a:

16:9 aspect ratio

The widescreen format provides useful display space for modern POS, customer-service, interactive and commercial applications.

Projected Capacitive Touch

The M1-156DT-A1 uses:

Projected Capacitive / PCAP

touch technology.

PCAP provides responsive touch interaction suitable for modern commercial interfaces.

10-Point Multi-Touch

MicroTouch specifies support for:

10 simultaneous touch points

This enables compatible applications to support gestures and multi-touch interaction.

Actual multi-touch behaviour depends on the connected operating system and application.

Optically Bonded Touchscreen

A key feature of the M1-156DT-A1 is its:

Optically bonded touchscreen

Optical bonding integrates the touch surface more closely with the underlying display.

MicroTouch uses this design to improve:

• Optical clarity
• Picture quality
• Touch targeting
• Display durability

This makes the M1-156DT-A1 particularly relevant to customer-facing commercial installations where display clarity and touch responsiveness are important.

Etched Anti-Glare Glass

The display uses MicroTouch's:

Etched Anti-Glare

surface treatment.

The etched surface is designed to improve light dispersion and reduce distracting reflections in bright commercial environments.

Potential environments include:

• Retail
• Restaurants
• Hospitality
• Customer-service counters
• Commercial workstations
• Industrial applications

Anti-glare treatment reduces reflections but does not eliminate every reflection or make the monitor an outdoor sunlight-readable display.

7H Surface Hardness

MicroTouch specifies:

7H hardness durable glass

for the touchscreen surface.

This provides additional resistance to ordinary commercial use and surface wear.

The 7H rating is a surface-hardness specification and should not be interpreted as meaning that the glass is unbreakable.

400-Nit PCAP Brightness

MicroTouch specifies:

450 nits - LCD without touch

and:

400 nits - PCAP configuration

For normal use of the finished touchscreen, 400 nits is the more relevant brightness figure.

Wide Viewing Angles

The M1-156DT-A1 provides:

Horizontal: 178°
Vertical: 178°

wide viewing angles.

This is useful for interactive applications where customers and operators may view the display from different positions.

1000:1 Contrast Ratio

MicroTouch specifies:

1000:1

contrast ratio for the M1-156DT-A1.

This supports clear presentation of compatible text, graphics, application interfaces and multimedia content.

HDMI Connectivity

The M1-156DT-A1 provides:

1 × HDMI

supporting video up to:

1920 × 1080 @ 60 Hz

for compatible host systems.

Potential host devices include:

• POS computers
• Desktop PCs
• Mini PCs
• Industrial computers
• Embedded computing systems

USB-C Host Connectivity

The M1-156DT-A1 provides:

1 × USB-C

with applicable:

• DisplayPort Alternate Mode video
• Power acceptance
• USB connectivity

The exact single-cable capability depends on the connected host.

A USB-C connector alone does not guarantee that every computer supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode or the required power functionality.

Four USB-C Peripheral Connections

The M1 platform includes:

4 × USB-C peripheral connections

These connections support MicroTouch's modular peripheral ecosystem.

Compatible accessories include applicable:

• Magnetic stripe reader
• Camera
• Light bar
• Barcode scanner

This modular approach allows businesses to configure the workstation according to the application rather than purchasing unnecessary peripherals.

USB 3.1 Type-A

The display also includes:

1 × USB 3.1 Type-A

connection as part of its versatile I/O design.

Integrated Stereo Speakers

The M1-156DT-A1 incorporates:

2 × 2 W stereo speakers

for applications requiring basic integrated audio.

Audio Output

The monitor provides:

1 × 3.5 mm audio output

for compatible external audio equipment.

Desktop Stand Included

An important distinction when selecting this model is:

M1-156DT-A1 = Desktop configuration with stand

The stand is included in the documented A1 package.

This makes the A1 suitable where a ready desktop installation is required.

M1-156DT-A1 vs M1-156DT-A2

The two model numbers belong to the same M1-156DT display platform but differ primarily in the supplied mounting configuration.

M1-156DT-A1

• Desktop configuration
• Stand included
• Suitable for conventional counter or workstation installation

M1-156DT-A2

• Monitor-only configuration
• No stand
• Suitable for VESA arms, custom mounts and integrated installations

The choice should therefore be based primarily on the required mounting arrangement rather than display performance.

VESA Mounting

The monitor provides:

100 × 100 mm VESA

mounting capability.

Although the A1 includes its desktop stand, the VESA interface provides additional installation flexibility where an alternative compatible mounting system is required.

Portrait, Landscape & Tabletop Orientation

MicroTouch specifies support for:

• Portrait
• Landscape
• Tabletop

orientation.

The operating system and application must also support the intended screen orientation.

IP65 Front Protection

MicroTouch specifies:

IP65 - Front Only

for the M1-156DT-A1.

The distinction is important.

IP65 applies to the front surface, not the entire monitor, rear enclosure, connectors, stand or complete installation.

IK07 Impact Classification

MicroTouch specifies:

IK07

for the display's impact classification.

This indicates tested impact resistance under the applicable classification but does not mean that the monitor is vandal-proof or immune to physical damage.

Optional MicroTouch Magnetic Stripe Reader

The M1-156DT-A1 supports the:

MicroTouch MA-MSR-A1

magnetic stripe reader.

The MA-MSR-A1 connects directly to the M1 platform using USB-C and supports applicable three-track magnetic-stripe reading.

The MSR is an optional accessory and should not be assumed to be included with the monitor.

Optional MicroTouch Camera

The M1 platform supports:

MicroTouch MA-CAM-A1

as an optional camera accessory.

It is sold separately and should be selected only where the application requires camera functionality.

Optional MicroTouch Light Bar

The M1-156DT-A1 supports the:

MicroTouch MA-LBAR-A1

light bar as an optional modular peripheral.

Optional MicroTouch Barcode Scanner

The platform supports the:

MicroTouch MA-SCAN

barcode-scanner accessory.

Current MicroTouch documentation lists M1-156DT-A1 compatibility for the MA-SCAN platform.

The scanner supports applicable 1D and 2D barcode capture, including QR Code and Data Matrix.

It is a separate accessory and is not included with the monitor unless specifically supplied as part of an agreed configuration.

Disclaimer - NEOTECH® UAE

This page specifically covers the MicroTouch M1-156DT-A1 15.6-inch desktop touch monitor with stand.

MicroTouch separately identifies M1-156DT-A2 as the configuration available without the stand. Customers should therefore verify the exact A1/A2 model suffix before ordering.

IP65 protection applies to the front only. Optional peripherals such as the MSR, camera, light bar and barcode scanner are not included unless specifically confirmed.

USB-C video and power functionality depends on the capabilities of the connected host and selected cable.

Exact regional power cord, optional accessories, current availability and applicable UAE warranty should be confirmed before ordering.
