3M Touch Systems Proprietary Information
The M150 FPD is available in a 15" diagonal screen size using active-
matrix thin-film transistor (AM-TFT) liquid crystal display technology.
The M150 monitor supports a full-screen resolution of 1024 x 768.
Note: The M150 FPD has a power LED as well as four buttons for using the
on-screen menu and adjusting the video display. Refer to Chapter 3 for more
information on these controls.
Capacitive and Resistive Options
The monitor is available with 3M Touch System’s ClearTek® capacitive
touch screen. Capacitive is the touch screen of choice for public access
applications requiring high levels of durability and reliable performance 24
hours a day, 7 days a week.
For those applications that require flexibility of input, including gloved
hand use, we offer the M150 with a 5-wire resistive touch screen. This
technology has been tested in a laboratory environment to withstand 35
million mechanical touches without noticeable degradation to the surface.

Native Video Resolution on a Flat-Panel Display
Flat-panel displays, unlike CRTs, are optimized to run at one resolution. A
flat-panel display has discrete points that determine the exact location of a
pixel. Each flat-panel display has an exact number of pixels associated with
it. There is a one-to-one mapping between the number of pixels and the
video resolution.
A flat-panel display should be used at the resolution dictated by the number
of pixels on the panel for optimum performance. For example, the M150
monitor has 1024 pixels across the screen and 768 lines of pixels down the
screen and can accurately display this resolution at full screen.
