What makes a Good LCD Enclosure?
There are a growing number of businesses investing in both indoor and outdoor digital signage. These businesses want to get their message out to as many people as possible and a well placed outdoor digital signage display or even digital signage network can really drive a business’s profits up. This is not a cheap method of advertising and promotion though, and a good amount of delicate hardware is called for in order to build an effective digital signage system. A crucial component of a digital signage system is the use of a good LCD enclosure.
An effective outdoor LCD enclosure has to be able to protect the hardware from both the unpredictable nature of the weather and from human interference in the form of vandalism and theft, or even just a child who touches when they should just be looking.
One of the great benefits of outdoor digital signage is that it does not, when functioning properly have to be visited constantly to be maintained or updated. Without an LCD enclosure you could be making regular trips to site to ensure that there is no physical damage that the software cannot detect. In addition, one vandal can kick the screen which in turn could mean thousands of dollars worth of damage. Taking on the extra expense of an LCD enclosure right from the start can save you money, time and headaches later on.
The best protective HDTV cases are very unobtrusive. They must indeed be strong enough to protect the delicate screen of an LCD TV but the covering should not be so thick that it obscures the crisp images produced by an LCD TV. There is little point in spending time, money and creative resources on creating great visual content if the outdoor TV enclosure viewing window is so thick that it makes the pictures appear blurry and of poor quality to the viewer in the street.
Then there is the matter of the weather. Few places in the world experience a constant climate, especially not in these days of weather related global warming effects. The best LCD enclosures feature both a cooling and heating system that is very temperature sensitive, allowing the LCD TV to function well, whatever the weather. That an LCD enclosure be waterproof should almost go without saying. Even the driest areas experience some precipitation at one time or another.
A digital signage system can be a great boon for any company. Failing to protect it properly is a foolish economy.
