Outdoor Digital Signage Alternatives.
LCD Enclosures Global explain.
The use of modern TV technology in the signage industry has increased dramatically as the prices of LCD and plasma screens have plummeted in recent years. The technology also has increased performance with better image quality and making them more durable and reliable components that allow its use in advertising and signage.
Outdoor digital signage has to endure more harsh and hazardous conditions than the average LCD TV, moreso, especially if left in public areas or where it can be easily removed.
Outdoor digital signage is becoming increasingly popular due to the development of LCD screens and other water-resistant all-weather digital signage systems. These devices can be expensive and although many of them are often designed with an exclusive account for the signs used in the colder parts of the world may not be suitable for warmer areas and vice versa.
However, an alternative and more flexible solution to outdoor digital signage is the use of standard devices. These, of course, will not last long outside in the wind and rain, but may be protected by housing them in a steel LCD enclosure. The combined cost of the LCD, and the casing is often much less than the price of an all weather LCD.
LCD enclosures could be the alternative?
In addition, these LCD enclosures can be placed LCD in almost any area of the danger including industrial factories and production areas that are damp. As a modern flat screen TV with a limited life and putting them into an LCD enclosure will prolong their lifespan, but also the casing allows users to update hardwar ein the future without additional expensive of having to replace the casing.
Many LCD enclosures are designed and built to strict standards such as the European IP65 or NEMA 4 ( for United States outdoor standards) to ensure the protection is offered to the outdoor digital signage hardware. Produced form steel the LCD enclosures are welded to rpevent water ingress or un-aurthorised access.
