In the world of PLCs and HMIs, the display you choose often matters less than the controller it has to talk to. The Danfoss DM1000 Display and the Crouzet MTP8/70 HMI are both new open-box panels, but they serve different controller families. The Danfoss is built for the DM1000 controller platform and costs $700. The Crouzet is a touch-panel user kit for the Millenium 3 line and costs $1,971.92. That $1,271.92 price gap is really a platform gap, so the right pick comes down to which automation system you're already running.
Quick verdict
If your control panel is based on a Danfoss DM1000 controller, the Danfoss DM1000 Display DM1000T-0-1-0-0 is the straightforward, lower-cost choice. If you need a touch panel for a Crouzet Millenium 3 controller and want the bundled user kit, the Crouzet MTP8/70 is the one designed for that job, even at more than twice the price.

Where each product wins
- Danfoss DM1000 Display wins on upfront cost. At $700, it's $1,271.92 less than the Crouzet, and it's a no-frills display for monitoring and controlling processes on a DM1000 system. If the controller is already Danfoss, this is the matching screen without adding a touch layer you may not need.
- Crouzet MTP8/70 HMI wins on touch interaction and kit completeness. It's a user kit with a touch panel, designed specifically for Millenium 3 controllers. The part number MTP8/70 88970496 / 88970495 identifies the full kit, so you're getting a more specific automation component for a higher price.
Danfoss DM1000 Display DM1000T-0-1-0-0
This is the lower-priced option in the head-to-head, listed at $700. It's built for the DM1000 controller platform, which makes it a direct match if your system uses that controller. The model number DM1000T-0-1-0-0 and part number 11223957 keep the spec easy to confirm. Condition is new open box, described as fully functional with no accessories. For a control panel that already has a DM1000 controller, this display gives you a way to monitor and adjust processes without paying extra for a touch interface. The limitation is that it's a display, not a touch panel. If you want to tap directly on the screen, this model won't give you that interaction, so it's best suited to setups where a traditional display is enough.
CROUZET MTP8/70 HMI 88970496 / 88970495 User KIT
At $1,971.92, this is the higher-priced panel, and the extra cost goes toward a specific package: an HMI user kit for the Millenium 3 controller line with a touch panel. The part numbers MTP8/70 88970496 / 88970495 pin down the exact kit, and the condition is new open box. If your application is centered on Millenium 3 and you need touchscreen operation, this is the kit made for that role. It's a more complete automation component than a bare display. The main limitation is price: at nearly $2,000, it costs about $1,271.92 more than the Danfoss display. That premium only makes sense if you're committed to the Crouzet platform and truly need the touch interface and the user kit.
Final choice by use case
Pick the Danfoss DM1000 Display if your control panel is built around the DM1000 controller platform and you want the lower-cost path.
Pick the Crouzet MTP8/70 HMI if you're running Millenium 3 and need a touch panel with the user kit included, and your budget allows the higher price.
