All View TV manufactured Advertising Displays, Touch Screens and Video Walls are designed and built to the highest commercial grade standards. The differences
between our commercial grade displays and residential TV’s are;
1. Commercial grade displays are designed to run 24/7 whereas a TV is designed to run 5-7 hrs a day. To achieve 24/7 reliability commercial grade displays are
built with industrial power supplies, advanced cooling features, commercial “A Grade” display modules and more robust back lights.
2. Commercial grade displays have the correct required inputs and outputs, including RS232 (remote control via PC), Multiple Full HD Inputs, Audio Line Level In/Out
and Network capabilities.

2. Commercial grade displays have the correct required inputs and outputs, including RS232 (remote control via PC), Multiple Full HD Inputs, Audio Line Level In/Out
and Network capabilities.
3. Commercial grade displays are built using metal internal fixings (not plastic), metal powder coated cases and anti reflection Glass/Perspex protective faces.
4. If you install a residential TV into a commercial application the manufacture will instantly void all warranties.
5. Commercial grade displays will outlast any residential TV (actual operating hours).
6. Residential TV’s will Not run reliably in Portrait mode, due to being designed solely for Landscape use there is no available ventilation or air circulation once turned
to portrait mode. Your TV will run hot and with no doubt will eventually fail. All commercial grade displays are designed to run in Landscape, Portrait and Face up
Operation.
7. TV’s are programmed to display accurate skin/flesh colors, meaning pure whites will look slightly pink. Commercial grade displays are programmed to display the
correct RGB & CYMK color pallets.

8. Commercial grade displays have built in sensors, such as temperature monitoring, content detection and auto dimming brightness control during night hours.
1. LCD displays are generally brighter than plasma displays and have less reflective screens and are, therefore, better for brightly lit areas.
2. LCD displays are Not prone to Burn-In of static images (as all Plasma displays will eventually burn the image into the screen forever!).
3. LCD displays use less power than Plasma displays and have a wider viewing angle.
4. The only advantage of a Plasma display is in our Video Wall Plasma displays where we can install displays next to each other to create a Video Wall with only a
1.9mm join between the screens. Our LCD equivalent Video Wall has a join of only 6.7mm (but costs 3 times less than our Plasma Video Wall).

All View TV manufactured displays have a minimum life span of 50,000 hours (6 years running 24/7). The average life span of our displays can however exceed 80,000
hours.

View TV is the only New Zealand manufacturer to design and build “All in One” displays. All in one means we integrate the hardware (PC, Content Management System,
Touch Screen) into the actual display itself. This means for you there are no external devices, cables or parts hanging off your display. In most cases the finished display
is only 95 mm to 120 mm thick (depending on the diagonal size) and only requires a power connection. We also offer both Ethernet & Wi-Fi connectivity to all our displays.
On top of this View TV goes one step further; we offer custom designed and built displays with your own hardware built in, for example if you have a specific PC or circuit
board required to be used for your project.
