49" 3840x2160 PCAP MACH Digital Sigange Touch Monitor 500 Nits

The MicroTouch M1-490DS-A1 is a 49-inch MACH digital signage touch monitor combining a 3840 x 2160 TFT LCD with projected-capacitive input. Its 16:9 panel displays 1.07 billion colors using 8-bit plus FRC processing and provides a large 1073.80 x 604 mm active area. The anti-glare surface, black housing, glass construction and SECC metal enclosure complement a touch system supporting 55 touch points and stylus operation.

Ideal Use Cases

With portrait, landscape and tabletop orientation support, this model accommodates several interactive digital signage formats. Landscape installation fits widescreen 16:9 content, while portrait placement supports vertically arranged information. Tabletop orientation provides another option for touch-focused applications. The 55-point projected-capacitive interface and stylus support make the monitor appropriate when content requires direct interaction across a large display area. Built-in dual 10 W speakers also allow an installation to provide onboard audio without relying exclusively on separate speakers.

Why Choose This Model

The M1-490DS-A1 provides clearly specified visual and touch performance. Brightness is rated at 500 nits without touch and 450 nits with the P-CAP layer. The panel combines an 1100:1 contrast ratio, typical 8 ms response time and 60 Hz refresh rate. Horizontal and vertical viewing angles are both rated at 178 degrees, helping displayed information remain visible across a wide viewing range. Touch communication uses a USB-HID Type B interface, while the anti-glare surface treatment addresses reflections at the display face.

Installation and Integration

The monitor measures 1127.6 x 657.8 x 78.8 mm, or 44.4 x 25.9 x 3.10 inches, and has a net weight of 30.0 kg. A 300 x 300 mm VESA pattern supports compatible mounting, while the specified portrait, landscape and tabletop orientations provide placement flexibility. Video connections consist of two HDMI inputs, one DisplayPort and one VGA port. USB connectivity includes two USB Type B ports for touch and one USB 2.0 Type A port. Additional integration connections include RS232 through a DB9 connector, PC audio input and output, and SPDIF output. Power input accepts 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz, and an IEC C13-type AC output is provided. Power consumption is rated at 85 W typical, 150 W maximum and no more than 0.5 W in standby.

Performance Highlights

The 3840 x 2160 maximum resolution supplies a high pixel count across the 49-inch display. Its 1.07-billion-color specification, 16:9 aspect ratio and 1100:1 contrast ratio define the panel’s core image capabilities. For interactive operation, projected-capacitive technology supplies 55 touch points with stylus support, with touch data carried through USB-HID. The 8 ms typical response time and 60 Hz refresh rate complete the stated motion-performance profile. When the touch layer is in place, the monitor retains a specified brightness of 450 nits.

What Makes It Different

Beyond its display and touch specifications, the M1-490DS-A1 carries IP65 compliance on the front only and an IK07 ball-drop rating. Its operating range is 0 to 40 degrees Celsius at 35% to 85% relative humidity, non-condensing. The listed storage range is 20 to 60 degrees Celsius at 35% to 85% relative humidity, also non-condensing.
