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.
