CHAPTER 1
Introduction to Flat Panel Displays
The 3M Touch Systems product line of Flat Panel Display (FPD) touch monitors offers
the M150 monitor for desktop and countertop applications with built-in multimedia
options.
Yoke
Adjustment Knob
Spine
The newly redesigned M150 monitor features an innovative design adjustable to
approximately 60° off the vertical to accommodate different counter and user heights, a
positive locking mechanism, a weighted base for additional stability, a touch screen
interface, several mounting options, and built-in cable management.
The M150 monitor also features a space saving design, high resolution, low radiation,
and low power consumption. These qualities make the M150 FPD touch monitor ideal
for applications that require superior color, resolution, and clarity.
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
3M Touch Systems Proprietary Information

M150 FPD Monitor Installation Guide
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.1
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.
Options for Using Other Video Resolutions
The M150 monitor supports all standard resolutions up to their respective native
resolution for monitor setup. Many video cards initially display a screen image at the
SVGA or VGA resolution. By supporting these resolutions, the monitor can display the
desktop controls that let you change to the optimal resolution of 1024 x 768.

Phase: If the phase of your monitor is not fine-tuned, you may observe unstable
horizontal noise lines and cross-talk stretching from the edge of small windows on your
display.
If you change your display to Windows shut down mode, this noise will be more visible,
and easier to eliminate. Click on the "Start" button at the bottom right side, and then click
Shut Down. This will bring you to the Windows shutdown mode. After finishing phase
adjustment, click on the "Cancel” to return to your original Windows display.
Clock: If the clock setting of your image is not fine-tuned, you may observe periodic
vertical bars of video noise on your image. These bars of noise are usually adjusted out
when an Auto Configuration is performed. If the bars of noise are still present, this
setting can be adjusted manually.
Adjust this setting so that either the vertical bars of noise are replaced by an even amount
of noise across the whole screen, or the noise disappears completely.
If you do an Auto Config, the monitor will try to find the best Clock/Phase setting. If you
are not satisfied with the auto adjustment, fine-tune the phase manually as described
above.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
If you have a problem setting up or using your monitor, you may be able to solve it
yourself. Before calling 3M Touch Systems, try the suggested actions that are
appropriate to the problems you are experiencing with the monitor. You may also want to
consult your video card user’s manual for additional troubleshooting advice.
Maintaining Your Touch Monitor
To maintain your display and keep your monitor operating at peak performance:
•
•
•
Keep your monitor and screen clean.
Do not install the display in a place where ventilation may be hindered. Always maintain
adequate ventilation to protect the display from overheating and to ensure reliable and
continued operation.
Touch Screen Care and Cleaning
The touch screen requires very little maintenance. 3M Touch Systems recommends that
you periodically clean the glass touch screen surface.
Typically, an isopropyl alcohol and water solution ratio of 50:50 is the best cleaning
agent for your touch screen. You can also use straight isopropyl alcohol. In addition, 3M
Screen and Keyboard Cleaner CL680 has been tested and approved for this use.
CAUTION
To avoid the potentially hazardous situations associated with the use of alcohol or other
solvents which may result in minor or moderate injury or property damage:
•
•
•
Follow all instructions and recommendations in the manufacturer's Material Safety Data
Sheet and product label.
Be sure to follow solvent manufacturer's precautions and directions for use when using any
solvents
It is important to avoid using any caustic chemicals on the touch screen. Do not use any
vinegar-based solutions.

•
Apply the cleaner with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using gritty cloths.
Always dampen the cloth and then clean the screen. Be sure to spray the cleaning liquid onto
the cloth, not the screen, so that drips do not seep inside the display or stain the bezel.
•
Always handle the touch screen with care. Do not pull on or stress cables.

Troubleshooting the Touch Screen
If you are experiencing problems with the touch screen, check the following list of
common installation errors.
Table 2. Common Touch Screen Installation Issues
Common Installation Issues
Touch screen does not respond
to touch
Possible Solutions
• Review the installation procedures. Are all cables connected properly?
• After you installed TouchWare, did you restart your PC to activate the
touch screen driver?
• Are the communication settings correct? Is the touch screen trying to use
the COM port or IRQ of another device (for example, a mouse)? If so, a
hardware device conflict will result and the touch screen will not work.
• Calibrate the touch screen for the current video resolution and operating
system.
Touch screen is not accurate
Cursor does not follow finger
movement or does not reach the
edges of the screen
• Calibrate the touch screen for the current video resolution and operating
system.
Cursor is not located directly
underneath your finger
• Open the touch screen control panel and make sure all cursor offsets
(vertical, edge/horizontal) are turned off.
• Calibrate the touch screen for the current video resolution and operating
system.
Cursor is extremely jittery or erratic
Cursor lags finger
• Stabilize the cursor by adjusting the operating frequency of the touch
screen controller using the touch screen control panel.
• Lower the baud rate of the touch screen controller and the touch screen
driver.
Power Management
The M150 monitor conforms to the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA)
Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) standard. To benefit from power
management, the monitor must be used in conjunction with a computer and video card
that implements the VESA DPMS standard.
The PC automatically invokes the power management feature if you do not use the touch
screen, mouse, or keyboard for a user-defined period of time. To restore the video image,
simply touch the screen, press a key, or move the mouse.
