Product Overview

The MicroTouch M1-156DT-A2 is the monitor-only, without-stand configuration of MicroTouch's 15.6-inch M1-156DT commercial desktop touch display.

It combines a 1920 × 1080 Full HD TFT LCD, projected capacitive touch technology, 10 simultaneous touch points, optical bonding and etched anti-glare glass in a slim commercial display designed for flexible installation.

The M1-156DT platform provides a wide 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angle, a 16:9 aspect ratio and up to 400 nits brightness through the PCAP touch surface.

Connectivity includes HDMI, USB-C and USB connectivity, while the monitor-only M1-156DT-A2 chassis provides a 100 × 100 mm VESA mounting pattern for integration with compatible stands, arms, brackets and equipment.

The important distinction is:

M1-156DT-A2 = Monitor Without Stand

Customers requiring MicroTouch's complete desktop configuration with its stand should verify the M1-156DT-A1 instead.

Monitor-Only M1-156DT-A2 Configuration

The most important specification when ordering this model is:

M1-156DT-A2 = Without Stand

MicroTouch identifies the M1-156DT-A1 as its complete desktop touch-monitor model and specifically identifies:

M1-156DT-A2

as the version available without the stand.

This makes the A2 configuration particularly relevant for customers who already have:

• A VESA monitor arm
• Wall-mounting hardware
• A custom mounting system
• POS mounting hardware
• Kiosk integration
• Equipment mounting
• A dedicated commercial workstation

Do not order solely by the general M1-156DT family name if the stand requirement matters.

15.6-Inch Full HD Display

The M1-156DT-A2 features a:

15.6-inch TFT LCD

with native resolution of:

1920 × 1080 Full HD

The 16:9 format is suitable for modern applications requiring a compact widescreen interactive display.

Potential applications include:

• Point of Sale
• Customer interaction
• Hospitality
• Retail
• Information terminals
• Industrial control
• Commercial workstations
• Interactive applications

Projected Capacitive Touch

The M1-156DT-A2 uses:

Projected Capacitive / PCAP

touch technology.

PCAP provides a responsive touch experience familiar from modern tablets and smartphones while being implemented here in a commercial touch-display platform.

10-Point Multi-Touch

MicroTouch specifies support for:

10 simultaneous touch points

through the projected capacitive touchscreen.

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

Applications designed only for single-touch input will not automatically benefit from all ten available touch points.

Optically Bonded Touchscreen

A significant feature of the M1-156DT platform is its:

Optically bonded touchscreen

Optical bonding reduces the air gap between the LCD and touch surface.

MicroTouch positions this technology as improving:

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

This can be useful for customer-facing and commercial applications where image clarity and touch accuracy are important.

Etched Anti-Glare Surface

MicroTouch uses an:

Etched Anti-Glare

surface treatment.

Rather than relying solely on a conventional surface coating, the etched glass is designed to disperse reflected light and improve usability in brighter environments.

This can be useful in applications such as:

• Retail counters
• Hospitality
• Commercial workstations
• Customer-facing installations
• Industrial environments

Anti-glare treatment reduces reflections but does not make the display immune to all glare or direct sunlight.

7H Hardness Glass

The touchscreen surface uses:

7H hardness durable glass

to provide additional resistance to ordinary commercial interaction and wear.

This is a surface-hardness specification and should not be interpreted as meaning the screen is unbreakable.

400-Nit Touch Brightness

MicroTouch specifies:

450 nits - LCD without touch

and approximately:

400 nits - PCAP configuration

The lower PCAP figure reflects light transmission through the touchscreen assembly.

For practical use, 400 nits is the more relevant brightness specification for the finished M1-156DT-A2 touch monitor.

Wide Viewing Angles

The display provides:

Horizontal: 178°
Vertical: 178°

wide viewing angles.

This can be beneficial for interactive installations where users may view the screen from different positions.

1000:1 Contrast Ratio

The M1-156DT platform provides a specified contrast ratio of:

1000:1

supporting clear presentation of compatible user interfaces, text, graphics and multimedia content.

16.7 Million Colours

The display supports approximately:

16.7 million colours

for full-colour commercial application interfaces and multimedia content.

HDMI Video Input

The monitor provides:

1 × HDMI

supporting video input up to:

1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz

for compatible host systems.

This allows connection to appropriate:

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

USB-C Connectivity

The M1-156DT platform includes:

1 × USB-C with DisplayPort Alternate Mode / power acceptance capability

along with additional USB-C connections intended for supported peripheral integration.

The exact host, power and video configuration should be verified before relying on a single-cable USB-C deployment, because USB-C connector presence alone does not guarantee that every host supports the required DisplayPort Alternate Mode or power functionality.

Peripheral USB-C Ports

MicroTouch provides:

4 × USB-C peripheral connections

on the M1-156DT platform.

These support MicroTouch's modular commercial-display ecosystem and compatible peripheral integration.

Potential MicroTouch accessories include applicable:

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

Accessory compatibility should be confirmed by exact part number before ordering.

USB Type-A

The monitor also provides:

1 × USB 3.1 Type-A

connection.

This contributes to the flexible I/O design of the M1 platform.

Audio Output

The display provides:

1 × 3.5 mm audio output

for compatible external audio requirements.

Integrated Stereo Speakers

The M1-156DT platform incorporates:

2 × 2 W stereo speakers

for applications requiring basic integrated audio output.

For higher-volume or specialized audio requirements, an external audio solution may be preferable.

VESA 100 × 100 mm Mounting

The M1-156DT-A2 supports:

100 × 100 mm VESA mounting

This specification is particularly important because the A2 is the without-stand configuration.

It allows integration with appropriate:

• VESA desktop stands
• Monitor arms
• Wall mounts
• Equipment mounts
• Commercial POS mounting systems
• Custom installations

The selected mount must also support the monitor's dimensions and weight.

Portrait & Landscape Installation

MicroTouch specifies support for:

• Portrait
• Landscape
• Tabletop configurations

The M1-156DT-A2's monitor-only format gives system integrators flexibility in determining the physical mounting arrangement.

Application software must also support the selected screen orientation.

IP65 Front Protection

The front of the display is specified as:

IP65 - Front Only

This indicates protection of the front surface against applicable dust and water exposure under the IP65 test classification.

This is important:

IP65 applies to the front only.

It should not be interpreted as an IP65 rating for the entire monitor enclosure, rear connectors or installation.

IK07 Classification

MicroTouch specifies:

IK07

for the display's ball-drop/impact classification.

This provides an indication of tested front-surface impact resistance.

It does not mean that the display is vandal-proof or immune to physical damage.

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

The display platform is fundamentally the same, but the supplied mounting configuration differs.

The M1 platform supports compatible MicroTouch peripherals including applicable:

• MA-MSR-A1 magnetic stripe reader
• MA-CAM-A1 camera
• MA-LBAR-A1 light bar
• MA-SCAN-A1 barcode scanner

These are separate accessories and should not be assumed to be included with the M1-156DT-A2.

Verify the exact accessory and installation requirement before ordering.
