What is a commercial display or commercial signage?
Commercial display may look very similar to your garden variety consumer televisions, but they are designed with some very intelligent quirks that allow your hotel to look the best it can at all times. Many hoteliers become mesmerized by the price points of consumer models, but be advised that IT purchasers need to pay close attention to display lighting, hours of operation, the locations of the televisions, and more. Here are some of the useful differences that major manufacturers provide within their commercial television models.
Commercial display are more ruggedly designed to successfully endure a longer life-cycle within their commercial placements and operation. One of the main differences you will notice upon first glance at a commercial display, is that the frames are built with straighter, sturdier lines. This is a result of not only more durable design demands, but also the need to be more flexible for a variety of placements within hotels. Consumer televisions often have smooth curves along the chassis, making them more aesthetically pleasing for a home. Commercial displays eliminate these curves for easier placement within your property, and to facilitate side-by-side viewing for video walls, digital menu boards, etc.
For purchasing and procurement agents, these next few bits of strategic design elements may forever change the way you look at consumer model price points for your hotel’s TVs. A consumer television and a commercial television differ in the greatest amount by a measurement of usage. Consumer TVs are designed to operate for the few hours a day someone is home, relaxing in front of TV shows, movies, or video games.
There is also the ever-so-imminent topic of warranty. Consumer display normally come with a manufacturer’s warranty covering parts and labour for one year. Commercial signage normally come with 2 – 3 year warranties depending on the manufacturer and model. So, not only is your commercial TV display built to last longer under more strenuous conditions, but it is also covered longer under the manufacturer warranty. If it’s built stronger, lasts longer, and is covered further, it should be an easy decision to choose a commercial TV over a consumer model for your hotel.
