LCD monitor enclosures are used through out various business sectors from healthcare to outdoor digital signage applications, but the main benefit for use is to protect the enclosures hardware.
Monitor enclosures refer to small format monitors, normally up to 27" and in a 16:9 screen ratio. Now these can be used in production facilities as part of the factory information system to display information to employees, or equally in a hospital for displaying patient's details.
Now these screens can even be positioned outdoors to form an external video wall used for digital signage, these work by splitting the signal on the media player and distributing them equally over the video wall, without any unique "magic black box".
Protection is paramount so no matter if it is from extremely high or low temperatures or the vandals, a monitor enclosure will protect the TV and the media player from the riggers of nature.
There are 2 kinds of monitor enclosures, the first are manufactured from toughened LEXAN material, however we have found that they suffer under extreme temperatures and have to be swapped out with a solid steel LCD enclosure, these are more rugged and durable.
A solid steel monitor enclosure is manufactured so that the end solution provides a protective environment, so even air borne contaminants can be filtered out to prevent them harming the hardware inside. In some instances monitor enclosures have been fitted with air conditioning units so they can run independently from other systems.

Demonstrating that a monitor enclosure can be produced from various materials and these really do depend up on the application the screen will be used for, from healthcare, production facilities, or outdoor digital advertising there is a solution for your application.
