Lifecycle status
Siemens announced the phase-out of the 15", 19" and 22" Comfort Panels on 1 October 2024 (milestone PM400, document 109824856) and cancelled the products on 1 October 2025 (PM410). The 10-year spare-parts guarantee starts at cancellation, so supply runs to about October 2035. The 4" to 12" Comfort Panels are not covered by that notice.
Replacement paths, side by side
The decisive attribute in this vertical is software and runtime compatibility, not electrical specs. Read the compatibility column before the price column.
| Route | What | Price band | Availability | Compatibility — the dealbreakers | Shortlist |

| Official successor |
SIMATIC Unified Comfort Panel MTP1500 / MTP1900 / MTP2200 Siemens |
€4,261 across 1 EU distributor (MTP1500) | Listed at Omnical, no stock shown; lead time on request |
Same screen sizes (15.6", 18.5", 21.5"), but the runtime changes from WinCC Advanced/Comfort to WinCC Unified. Existing TP1500/TP1900/TP2200 Comfort projects do not load unchanged; scripting moves from VBS to JavaScript. Why this matters ⌄ |

| Compatible third party |
INSEVIS panel PC INSEVIS |
Quoted on request; no public list price. | Direct from vendor |
Different manufacturer, different engineering toolchain - the panel project is rebuilt, not converted. Named in the 74-reply Comfort Panel discontinuation thread as a working cross-vendor route. Why this matters ⌄ |

| Compatible third party |
ADM Smart Panel ADM |
Quoted on request; no public list price. | Direct from vendor |
Requires runtime and licence conversion. Raised in the 'Replacement for Comfort Panels' thread - note that mention was a vendor post, so treat the compatibility claims as vendor-stated, not community-verified. Why this matters ⌄ |

| Used / refurbished |
Used / refurbished Comfort Panels Broker market |
Not established in research | Broker and refurbisher stock, thinning as the guarantee window runs down |
Identical hardware - the existing WinCC project loads unchanged. This is the only path with zero engineering effort. Why this matters ⌄ |
Where the research did not establish a figure, this page says so rather than estimating one. A number you cannot defend is worse than no number.
