Consumers TVs and plasma monitors are the newest and the most likes way of marketing of all kind of businesses. These retail TVs and monitors are being manufactured by the makers of the commercial LCD and plasmas. There are many of these manufacturers who are willing to make monitors for advertising of brands, outlets and many other businesses. These are being made in very less cost because these are not being made with too many features, the only purpose of these monitors is to market product so too many features are not requirement, and this is the reason why many companies and brands prefer them to be used as digital signage application. But in fact there are many things which people do not know about this time of signage that can cost you more money than you thi9ng you have saved with this method of advertising. Things that matter in this method are power saving, warranty, picture quality and product life.
The worst thing that can happen to this device is heat dissipation. Many people do not have an idea that these types of devices can be ruined with too much heat, heat and electronics do not work in same row. The temperature of the location where it’s going to be installed should be less than 85 degree, it you want to make sure that the device work for long, if the temperature increase even 10 degree more than the life of the device will reduce 40%. Installing the device vertically can lessen the ability of it to disperse the heat and that can reduce it live very much. Commercial TVs have designed to work for 24 hour a day and they have fans to cool them if they get heated with too much use on the other hand retail TVs do not have such options and for cooling they depend on power off system.
When people will look at the image on the monitor they will definitely try to compare them with the image they have seen on commercial LCDs. It is possible that both devices give HD picture but the specifications will be same as that. There can be a very big different in the manufacturing of commercial or retail panels, in retail one picture can stick or get held while changing from one to another.
It can have a gravity defect also if placed for too long in a vertical position because they are not been made to be placed in that manner. This can cause the image to get black from the upside of the monitor.
Retail devices have being claimed to save power but big LCDs with too many features can consume more electric energy. The features that can make it to use more power are intelligent sensor which sense the light and change its brightness according to that. They also change the brightness according to the video running at them to provide best picture quality.
