Choosing between a new compact HMI and a larger used touch panel can stall a panel-build project. Do you pay more for a fresh unit with networking built in, or save on the listed price and get more screen area? The Panasonic AIG703WGN1B2 and the Habey PPC-4510-VKI sit on opposite sides of that decision.
Quick verdict
Pick the Panasonic AIG703WGN1B2 when new condition, compact size, and built-in communication matter most. Pick the Habey PPC-4510-VKI when you want a 10-inch operator display and a lower listed price. The Habey is listed at USD 100.00, the Panasonic at USD 149.00.

Where each product wins
The Panasonic wins for panel builders who value new condition and interface flexibility. Its built-in RS-232C, Ethernet, and mini-USB connections simplify wiring into a control network. The Habey wins for anyone who needs a larger screen area at a lower listed price: the 10-inch display gives operators more room to scan machine status, and the listed price is USD 49.00 lower.
Product notes
Panasonic AIG703WGN1B2
The Panasonic AIG703WGN1B2 is the new-condition option. The GT703 series unit pairs a 3.8-inch TFT monochrome display with 480 by 192 resolution and a three-color LED backlight, which is practical for small HMI panels. Its built-in RS-232C, Ethernet, and mini-USB port mean you can plan the control wiring without adding separate communication modules. Expansion storage also gives room for recipes or data logs. The tradeoff is screen size: 3.8 inches is fine for simple machine control but limiting for multi-value dashboards. At USD 149.00, the higher listed price reflects new status and the built-in interfaces. Choose this unit when compact, connected, and new-condition matter more than display real estate.
Habey PPC-4510-VKI
The Habey PPC-4510-VKI is the larger-display option. The 10-inch industrial HMI screen gives operators a much bigger view of machine status, alarms, and production data than a 3.8-inch display can. It is listed as Used, which explains why the price is USD 100.00 rather than the Panasonic level. If you are retrofitting a panel and want to keep the upfront cost down, the Habey gives you a lot of visual area for the money. The limitation is that you are getting a used unit rather than a new one, so the same new-unit assurance is not there. It works well for projects where the screen size is the deciding factor.
Final choice by use case
Choose the Panasonic AIG703WGN1B2 for a new build where RS-232C, Ethernet, mini-USB, and expansion storage are part of the plan. Choose the Habey PPC-4510-VKI for a larger operator display at a lower listed price, with the understanding that it is used.
