Choosing between these two HMI options isn't about picking a winner in a spec-sheet showdown; it's about identifying what stage your automation project is at. The Danfoss DM1000 Display (DM1000T-0-1-0-0) is a complete industrial panel for the DM1000 controller platform, priced at $700.00. The Siemens KTP700 Membrane Keypad + Touchpad repair kit (6AV2123-2GB03-0AX0) is a replacement component for an existing KTP700 HMI, priced at $181.39. One gives you a full display to build around; the other gives you the worn parts to swap out. This head-to-head will help you match the right purchase to your actual task.
Quick Verdict
If you need a working HMI display to monitor and control processes, the Danfoss DM1000 is the complete solution. If you already have a Siemens KTP700 and only need to restore a faded keypad or unresponsive touchpad, the Siemens repair kit is the targeted, low-cost fix.

Where Each Product Wins
Danfoss DM1000 Display wins when you need a complete HMI. It's an open-box panel designed for the DM1000 controller platform, so if you're building or rebuilding a system around that controller, you have the display ready to go. The price reflects a full display rather than a component.
Siemens KTP700 Repair Kit wins when you're maintaining an HMI you already own. It's the lower-priced way to replace the two parts that take the most handling: the membrane keypad and the touchpad. It's a used kit, so it fits a repair/refurbishment workflow, not a new-build spec.
Product Notes
Danfoss DM1000 Display (DM1000T-0-1-0-0)
This is a full industrial HMI panel built for the DM1000 controller platform, and it shows up as an open-box unit that is fully functional but does not come with accessories. If your control system is DM1000-based, this display is designed to drop into that architecture. The higher price tag buys a complete display, not just a faceplate or overlay, so you can get straight to mounting and wiring. The main limitation is the open-box condition: you get the panel itself, but no cables, brackets, or mounting hardware are included. Also, this is a specific model (DM1000T-0-1-0-0, MPN 11223957), so it is not a generic HMI; it is intended for the DM1000 platform, not for retrofitting every PLC on your floor.
Siemens KTP700 Membrane Keypad + Touchpad HMI Repair Kit
This repair kit zeros in on the two user-facing parts that a working KTP700 HMI needs: the membrane keypad and the touchpad. If your panel's controls have become worn or unresponsive, swapping these two components can bring the interface back to life. At its list price, this is the more economical route when you're dealing with part replacement rather than a full display purchase. The kit is sold as used, so the parts may show signs of prior handling. What it won't do is replace the entire display-there's no LCD, housing, or internal electronics in the kit. The part number 6AV2123-2GB03-0AX0 is your reference for confirming this is the right KTP700 repair kit before you commit.
Final Choice by Use Case
For a new automation build or a controller upgrade where the HMI display is missing, damaged, or not included, the Danfoss DM1000 Display is the complete answer. It gives you a full panel designed for the DM1000 controller platform, and the open-box presentation reflects that completeness. For a production machine that already has a Siemens KTP700, but the keypad and touchpad have become a liability, the Siemens repair kit is the precise, cost-effective fix. You're paying for the replacement parts only, which is the smart move when the rest of the HMI is still doing its job.
