Domestic users from time to time question the value and do not realize how intricate an Outdoor LCD cabinet is, making their standard domestic Television an out-of-doors Television, picture you purchase a screen from a high street store, deploy it outside and do not protect it, how long will it last open to the elements?

These weatherproof LCD covers deliver all the protection required for a lasting solution that will last for up to 10 years out-of-doors.
What to take into account for your LCD housing.
Many years ago some one stated to me that anyone can make a box in the garage, this is truthful however it is the out of the ordinary pieces of devices that makes these cases unique, it is the ability for the Monitor to "breathe" within the case, as you can understand a entirely sealed TV casing will result in temperature build up and then black spots on the display were the crystals have failed resulting in a ruined display.
Just implementing a circulating fan does not work as these have to be built into certain sections to ensure ample and equal air flow throughout the unit, then they also have to be incorporated in "breather chambers", these allow air into the unit while at the same time stopping fluid entering the enclosure. Then there is how you will mount the TV in the unit. The same can be said for heating the unit during the wintry weather months, with no heating the TVs crystals will freeze and the screen will surely need replacing.
Then there is the viewing window, get this incorrect and you have wasted your budget and time, but with over 81 different varieties of products making the right verdict is almost impossible, this is why LCD cabinet makers explore this section and are always looking for the best optical superiority viewing window that has the ultimate anti glare components.

Stainless steel or steel then painted, this is the alternative, deploying stainless steel is costly owing to the high raw material expenses, add to that the particular finishing of the welds. When stainless steel is welded a chemical outcome occurs and the joint along the weld is a blue color, this is due to oxidation. Oxygen surrounding the material when welding, however if you can put an inert gas at the reverse of the weld, this will eliminate the blue color and it will not need the dressing it otherwise would need to bring it back to a shinny finish.
