Frequently asked questions

Can I use a normal TV for 12 hours a day?

It may work but could void warranty or wear out early. Commercial displays are built and warranted for long daily running.

What size TV for a meeting room?

A 55 to 65-inch screen suits a small room. Larger rooms may need 75 inches or a pair of screens.

What is digital signage?

It means screens showing scheduled content such as notices, menus or promotions, managed centrally through software.
