When choosing a flat screen TV display, there are two general categories of screens to choose from –
consumer or commercial. Both types produce a quality picture, however, they are engineered quite differently.
The BFA Group will only provide professional commercial grade displays for the following advantages:
Extended Use
A commercial professional display’s life is double that of consumer TV. A commercial grade display is built for long, continuous operation (16/7 to 24/7), whereas a consumer grade TV is built for limited time operation and long off times.
Extended Warranty
Commercial grade displays come with a 3-yearwarranty while consumer TVs at best offer 1-year coverage. Using a consumer grade TV within a business / commercial environment most often voids a manufacturer’s warranty.
Heat Management
Operating hours – commercial grade displays are designed to withstand long operating hours with thermal characteristics built in the internal design for proper heat dissipation in both portrait and
landscape modes.
Remotely Managed
Content delivery and editing, troubleshooting, scheduling power “on/off” on commercial grade displays can be controlled remotely by The BFA Group.
Replacement
3 Year warranty includes replacement of a defective screen. After an on-site un-repairable diagnosis Samsung warrantied screens will be automatically replaced.
Ease of Uploads
Commercial grade displays have built in computer chips and are engineered to communicate well with a PC/MAC interface. Consumer TVs are unlikely to have the ability to integrate with The BFA Group’s content management software platform.
Advanced/Modern Appearance
Commercial screens just look brighter & better – no matter the environment! Frameless, small bezel bodies, real glass screens with anti-glare options, and high nit counts mean your displays will look fantastic when grouped, clustered, or joined in a video wall application.
Security
Commercial grade displays incorporate measures to protect controls in a public environment including locking of front panel and IR remote.
No Burn-in
Image Retention Technology - commercial grade displays include extensive advanced anti burn-in & image-retention features, while consumer grade TVs do not.
Orientation Options
Commercial screens can be mounted either portrait, or landscape orientations, for creative and eye-popping visual design & effects.
