subject: Protective Cases For Lcd And Plasma Screens [print this page] An Monitor enclosures is the leading doubtless protection when deploying either LED, LCD or plasma monitors outdoors or inside in high risk areas, these safeguarding cabinets provide all the protection demanded from the weather and theft.
Corporations are seeing the opportunity of digital outdoor signage to raise their group and this is increasing in need, as we know all companies need to sell their products or services. The explanation this has not been done in previous years is that the hardware has reduced in price and now there are solutions to protect the outside dynamic signage hardware from the local climate.
Rain Defence.
If you picture putting either a LCD or plasma tv out of doors without protection, how long will it last? The answer is that as soon as the rain comes the television would be rendered useless, because of the rain causing the monitor to short circuit.
Snow Safeguard.
In the UK just lately with the surprising change in weather and snow becoming a major issue, many people are struggling dealing with the snow and the sub zero temperatures, so think of how a plasma or LCD panel would cope - it wouldnt.
This is why an out of doors TV casing is the answer as these casings have a built in heater that starts working before the temperature gets too low and the crystals freeze in the television, these heaters also combat condensation build up inside of the enclosure when the panel produces heat.
The best cooling systems are thermostatically controlled, giving the user total control over the inner climate inside of the cabinet and is not restricted to one country.
Why put Monitors outside?
Due to the fact that prices are cut on plasma and LCD televisions, like all modern day technology they are incredibly pricey when the models first come out, then over a period of time the prices begin to plummet, this is why a low cost LCD screen makes the ideal marketing solution, as it can deliver high definition images and videos to give jaw dropping advertising opportunities.
Outdoor Home TVs.
With the Television prices coming down so much, people are look forward to spending the weekend with spouse and children after working hard all week, so to enjoy the quality time to the maximum some people are deploying TVs in their gardens and on porches, this allows the family to watch the game together.
But there is one point we have not looked at and that is the anti theft alternatives, or else is would be futile deploying either a digital signage or an outdoor TV if it wasnt secure.
The best solution is the enclosure that mounts flush to the wall, this means that no bars can be put down the back of the enclosure to lever it off the wall, using anchor bolts provides the best secure solution.
Now the locks are the weakest link, so unless the Plasma enclosure is placed high up so people cannot reach it, the locks have to be anything other than cam locks, as cam locks are persistently used in the enclosure industry with one problem - they can be opened with anything from a chisel to a screwdriver.
