Rugged LCD Monitor Considerations


Industrial monitors are made to stand up to a lot more than off-the-shelf consumer monitors. Businesses need the kinds of monitors that work well in a variety of environments. The typical, store-bought monitor might work fine if it is just going to sit on a desk, but many businesses simply need and expect more from their monitors. Not sure if a rugged LCD monitor is right for your business? Consider the following factors:

Will the monitor be subjected to movement or impact?

Video display units that are going to experience jostling or impact of any kind need to be able to withstand the impact without negatively impacting the video display. The average monitor from retail stores simply can't stand up to this kind of pressure. If your business depends on displaying video in vehicles, at public events, or in areas that are accessible to a lot of people, you need the protection that you can only get with rugged LCD monitors. These monitors are constructed for industries that need video display regardless of impact to the equipment. Shock levels and continuous vibration will quickly take out an everyday monitor, but rugged monitors are built to perform through these conditions.

Other Considerations

In addition to standing up to shock and vibration, you'll need to consider the environmental rating of your LCD monitors. IP ratings can help you determine if environmental factors, like dust and dirt are going to affect your display monitors. A rugged LCD monitor with an IP rating of 65 can stand up to these types of environmental factors that would trash an ordinary LCD display.

Rugged LCD monitors are built using industrial-grade components, which enable them to survive in these environments.
