Fight Off Unwanted Glare with Sunlight Monitors

If you've ever tried to work on a laptop computer while out on a sunny day, you know what a challenge it can be. Now, imagine trying to display crystal clear video in the glare of the sun or other light sources. It can be downright impossible to do with standard LCD monitors. Most LCD screens were built to display images only under optimal, indoor lighting. They just can't deliver quality images in bright light conditions. Custom monitors from TRU-VuMonitors.com are available that are fully sunlight readable.

The custom monitors from TRU-VuMonitors.com are made for outdoor use or for viewing in bright light areas. These sunlight monitors feature brightness levels of 1,000 nits or more. That makes them perfect for viewing even in direct, overhead sunlight conditions.

TRU-VuMonitors.com offers another option to standard sunlight readable LCD displays, called optically bonded monitors. A special optical-grade resin is applied to the monitors which gets rid of the air gap between the LCD display and the glass covering. Reflective light is greatly minimized which allows you to view high quality images that are not washed out by the light. The optical bonding process also provides a higher level of protection against shock and humidity, in addition to reducing image destroying reflective light.

Sunlight readable monitors and optically bonded monitors are great for outdoor and high light conditions. Whether you are considering sunlight LCD monitors for outdoor kiosks or mobile computing options for your employees, you need to consider the ways that lighting can effectively ruin the viewing experience. TRU-VuMonitors.com has a variety of custom monitors available to help take the glare away and provide excellent images in any type of environment.

Hi Def LCD and other Custom Monitors Available from TRU-Vumonitors.com

While standard off-the-shelf monitors may work well in a standard office setting, some industries may require custom monitors for their needs.

Nearly every aspect of a custom industrial monitor can be customized for specific applications. This differentiates industrial monitors from retail/consumer-grade monitors, which offer no customization. Suppliers of customizable industrial displays fill this void by offering the following:

•    Wide variety of video inputs – VGA, S-Video, Component, Composite (NTSC & PAL), as well as DVI, HDMI and HD-SDI for high def LCD’s.
•    Screen treatments such as anti-glare or anti-reflective coatings can be used to customize the monitor to its ambient light environment.
•    Type of enclosure – while ABS housings are usually standard for shock and vibration, metal housings are available for increased impact resistance and toughness.
•    Type of mounts- panel mount, rack mount, ceiling mount brackets, wall-mount brackets
•    Monitors can be adapted to every variety of Operating System (OS) from Windows 2000 to Windows 7, open-source Linux, and the Mac OS.
•    Signal output can also be customized to meet legacy settings already in place or proprietary requirements.
•    Custom monitors can be designed to operate on 12VDC, 24VDC, 110-240VAC, and universal AC/DC voltages. Contrast this with consumer-grade monitors which are only available for 120VAC.
•    Touch screen models are available with USB, RS-232 or HID interfaces in resistive, capacitive, SAW or IR technologies.
•    Custom monitors also enable OEM’s to private label standard and high def LCD’s with their company name, logo and model number on the display, label and packaging.

Custom LCD monitors present industrial, commercial and medical companies with unlimited display options when an off-the-shelf solution will just not suffice.

Information Regarding Portable LCD Monitors

Of the many custom monitors available, portable LCD monitors are unique in that they can be easily carried from one location to another, can run on battery power, and can be easily concealed. These monitors are often used in CCTV or A/V installations to adjust and test mounted cameras.

Ordinarily, this is a two-person job with one person adjusting the focus or placement of a camera and the second person communicating the results of the adjustment to the installer. With portable monitors, one person can adjust the camera and simultaneously view the results on the portable LCD monitor strapped to their wrist or forearm.Image via Wikipedia

Because of their portability and small size, they can also be used for covert security/surveillance monitoring when space is at a premium.

Portable LCD monitors can also be used for mobile pipe inspection systems or other applications where size and portability are the primary consideration.

Characteristics
These monitors have the following characteristics:

•    Housing: Because these monitors need to be durable in case they are dropped, the housing is often made of sturdy ABS.
•    Manual controls: Since the ambient light source from these models varies widely (indoor factory lighting, outdoor light), the manual controls for tint, color, and brightness tend to be easily accessible either on the front or side of the monitor.
•    Light weight: Many of these monitors are relatively light, weighing in at 1 lb or less.
•    Battery pack: Although some models allow for a plug-in power supply, the majority of these, particularly those used in CCTV installation, draw their power from a battery pack.
•    Power consumption: In order to extend battery life, these monitors have low power consumption, with many drawing 5 W or less.

Custom Monitors for Mobile use

Some custom monitors are intended for mobile use. These are vehicle-based mobile monitors that can be used in:

•    Law-enforcement vehicles for video recording;
•    Waste management to monitor for inappropriate disposal of materials;
•    Larger construction vehicles to provide the operator with multiple vantage points to assist with maneuvering; and
•    School buses and mass transit systems to improve public safety and customer service.

Because the usage environment varies, mobile monitors are available in many sizes and configurations.  Sizes range from 3.5” to 10.4”. Mobile monitors can also be customized to accommodate nearly any lighting conditions with anti-glare coating, optical bonding, or sunlight-readable models.

Since they are hard-mounted in vehicles, if these monitors are part of an interactive system, they may also have touch screen interfaces.

Mobile monitors have flexible mounting schemes, and can be ceiling mounted (flip-down models), or mounted from the dashboard or floor.

Mobile monitors can display multiple cameras with simultaneous split-screen displays (single, dual, triple, and quad). Monitors that are used on school buses, mass transmit systems and police cars often have a feature that automatically switches to the rear camera when the vehicle is put into reverse. Monitors used for law enforcement vehicles can also have built-in DVR systems.

Mobile monitors come standard with ABS enclosures which can withstand shock and vibration. Additional customization might include the use of metal enclosures to meet more stringent shock and impact specs for heavy-duty use. In-vehicle monitors are also available for OEM private-label on the monitor’s bezel, label and/or packaging.

Many manufacturers require custom monitors for use in their vehicles.  They can provide the perfect solution in terms of size, viewability, features and customer usability.
