21.5" 1920x1080 PCAP Desktop Touch Monitor VGA/DP/HDMI 250 Nits

The MicroTouch DT-215P-B2 combines a 21.5-inch TFT LCD with projected-capacitive touch in a black desktop monitor. It supports 10 touch points through a USB-C touch interface and displays Full HD content at up to 1920 x 1080 and 60Hz. VGA, DisplayPort, HDMI, USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode, a 3.5 mm audio input, and integrated speakers provide multiple integration options. An etched anti-glare surface and wide viewing angles complete the display configuration.

Ideal Use Cases

This model is suited to desktop installations that require Full HD output and multi-touch input. Its combination of HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA accommodates deployments using different video connections, while USB-C supports the touch interface and DisplayPort Alt Mode video. The optional MSR-215-A1 magnetic stripe reader, CAM-000-A1 camera, and DD-215-A1 dual-display stand allow the monitor to be configured for installations requiring those separately sold accessories. The 100 x 100 mm VESA pattern also supports applications where an alternative mounting arrangement is preferred.

Why Choose This Model

The DT-215P-B2 brings together a 1920 x 1080 panel, 10-point projected-capacitive touch, and several connection standards in one monitor. Its 16:9 display has a 1000:1 contrast ratio and horizontal and vertical viewing angles of 178 degrees. Brightness is rated at 250 nits without touch and 225 nits with the projected-capacitive touch layer. The etched anti-glare treatment provides a purpose-built surface for environments where reflections need to be managed. Two integrated 2W speakers add onboard audio without requiring separate display speakers.

Installation and Integration

Video inputs include one VGA port, one DisplayPort, and one HDMI port, supporting resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz. The USB Type-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode, and USB-C is also specified as the touch-screen interface. Additional connections include a 3.5 mm audio input, a 12V DC power jack, and an RJ11 port for a remote key. Power is provided by an external adapter rated at a maximum of 60W, with 12V/5A output capacity and 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz input support.

The monitor-only dimensions are 510.96 x 308.01 x 37.9 mm, with a net weight of 4.05 kg. Its 100 x 100 mm VESA pattern provides a defined mounting interface. The housing combines glass, ABS plastic, and SECC metal. Referenced cable part numbers include USB-5313120024FV for USB-C to USB-C, USB-5313120025FV for USB-C to USB-A, HDMI-5313118134FH for HDMI, DP-5313118123FV for DisplayPort, and VGA-5313118072FH for VGA.

Performance Highlights

The 21.5-inch TFT LCD presents a native Full HD image with a 16:9 aspect ratio. A 60Hz refresh rate supports the monitor’s maximum 1920 x 1080 resolution across the specified video inputs. The projected-capacitive touch system recognizes up to 10 touch points, while the etched anti-glare surface addresses screen reflections. Viewing angles of 178 degrees horizontally and vertically allow the displayed image to be viewed across a broad range of positions. Integrated dual 2W speakers and the dedicated audio input provide the monitor’s built-in audio configuration.

What Makes It Different

Connectivity is a central feature of the DT-215P-B2. Rather than relying on a single video standard, it provides VGA, DisplayPort, HDMI, and USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode support. The USB-C touch interface, RJ11 remote-key connection, audio input, and DC power input are separately identified for structured integration. Optional expansion components include the MSR-215-A1 magnetic stripe reader, CAM-000-A1 camera, and DD-215-A1 dual-display stand, each sold separately.

The monitor is certified to CE, FCC, LVD, UL/cUL, RoHS, and UKCA standards. Its specified operating range is 0°C to 40°C at 20% to 80% relative humidity, non-condensing. The specified storage range is 20°C to 60°C at 10% to 90% relative humidity, non-condensing. A three-year warranty is included in the listed specifications.

Final Assessment

The MicroTouch DT-215P-B2 is a focused choice for installations needing a 21.5-inch Full HD display, 10-point projected-capacitive touch, anti-glare treatment, and broad wired connectivity. Its HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, and USB-C options support varied integration requirements, while VESA mounting, built-in speakers, optional accessories, and a three-year warranty round out the supplied feature set.
