The right equipment, from the right class

Consumer or professional?

This is where the cost objection appears most often. Consumer TVs are designed for a few hours a day; professional displays are built for 16/7 or 24/7 operation and add remote management and tamper protection. A screen in a hotel lobby, on in the morning and off at night, runs well beyond the duty profile a consumer TV was designed for, and the difference usually shows in the second year. Using a consumer product commercially can also affect what the manufacturer's warranty covers.

Buy the spares with the installation

A replacement LED module should come from the same production batch as the wall: a different batch produces a visibly different white. A module of "the same model" bought a year later shows when it is fitted. So we recommend sourcing spares at the same time and from the same batch as standard — then a fault is a module swap rather than an exercise in colour matching.

Lifetime and running cost

The hours quoted in a specification mean "to half brightness", not time to failure. The same specifications give operating temperature and humidity ranges, and a screen run outside them has a life unrelated to the quoted figure. Running a display brighter than it needs to be tires the eye, shortens its life and wastes electricity — we discuss that at the quotation stage too.

Quotation and warranty

Warranty length varies by brand and product group, so a single figure would be misleading. We state the terms that apply to each line item in writing at the quotation stage. A quotation shows not only equipment but mounting, cabling and commissioning as separate lines — we do not like items that appear later.
