Many manufacturers of LCD and plasma market and produce in the retail or consumer televisions and monitors. Because of the very small feature of these retail products, put them in control with a reduced price to entice consumers to monitor or TV for the application of digital signage could come. But do not be tempted. There are several reasons why you lose money in the long run if you want to try this approach. Among them are the life of the product, the picture quality, energy conservation,and warranty. Let me dwell on these points.
Product life
Heat dissipation I found that most people are not aware of the fact that electronics do not mix and heat. To obtain optimum life of the equipment, it is recommended to keep the equipment operating in an environment based on a standard temperature below 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Some studies show that for every increase of 10 degrees above 85 degrees Celsius potentially reduce equipment life by 40%. Consumer grade televisionare designed for heating, remove the mail generated by the internal fans designed or flow of ambient air to the device in a horizontal or vertical format. Tilt the device in vertical position may have a serious block the ability of the unit to dissipate heat, so their life. Commercial units are designed for use 24 hours a day, seven days a week to survive. You can heat in the vertical or horizontal configuration to dissipate. Commercial spaces are designed for useLeave for about 8-12 hours a day and time to cool off.
Image Quality
Image stick Many people just look at the specifications of a monitor to try to compare a retail unit with its trading partner. Both devices can offer "Full HD 1080p Resolution: 1920 x 1080", but the comparison does not tell the whole story on its own specifications. Many commercial devices are made with panels as diverse as retail units. As the digital signageDisplay switches from one message to another, so the image can suffer from attack, the unit retail. A still image ghosting, in which the previous message can still be seen as part of the current message for a certain period of time. Severity of defects LCD retail space is not meant to be in portrait mode or vertical. Placing an LCD largest retail can produce in a vertical position for a long time, we have serious flaws. Without getting too technical, GravityDefect refers to a cell in the gap over the liquid crystal panel with a resolution at the bottom of the dish due to gravity when the disk is in a vertical position. This is the image at the top of the panel and watch helplessly see the bottom a little 'fuzzy or crushed.
Energy saving
While some retailers have displays for the function of saving energy, these are usually the standard commercial boards. Large LCD display can draw a lot ofEnergy, especially when running 24 / 7 Take a look at these functions only in a recent press release by LG for some of their latest big screen products (see http://lgcommercial.com/hospitality-channel/press- release/43) announced:
Smart sensors: responds to ambient light in the room and then reduce the brightness and energy production in many cases. Dynamic Power Saving: Answers to the brightness of the incoming video while still providing superior image qualityavailable. Static power savings: sets the installer is the preferred energy consumption.
You will not find this exercise of power in the low-end retail, or television monitors.
Guarantee
Commercial Vacuum In many cases, the commercial exploitation of a retail product greatly reduce or cancel the guarantee offered by the manufacturer. Case in point, take a look at the following excerpt from the guarantee of a retail display manufacturer: "Commercial UseOR RENT This product is not intended for commercial or rental. This product should always be used for commercial purposes or as rental units, the limited warranty on parts and labor, 90 days from date of purchase will be retail. The opinion of the (manufacturer's name given) in relation to this matter is final. "
Meeting the cost vs. on-site service In addition, most retail LCD / plasma television or two-year warranty. Service on this unitusually includes the delivery unit to an authorized service center for repairs. Most commercial producers of monitors such as Samsung, LG, Sony and others offer standard 3 year warranty for parts and labor and includes on-site service or repair. LG commercial guarantee also covers the backlight, which is often excluded from the retail offer.
Summary
The problems described above are just some of the reasons why you avoid the temptation, should provide a solution to the retailin a digital signage solution.
