NEC Whitepaper: Commercial Monitors Vs. Consumer TVs

Without the technical background, many people would not distinguish any difference between a large format display (LFD) and a consumer television (TV) on first sight.
Outward appearances may seem identical leading them to question how a LFD justifies its significantly higher initial price tag compared to televisions. Nevertheless, it is
important not to confuse these two technologies, since their functions and corresponding application areas vary on a huge scale.
Consumer televisions are designed for domestic use while large format displays are typically optimized for a special application such as in meeting rooms or for digital signage.
The goal of companies like NEC is to present a broad portfolio of displays offering different functionality, thus enabling individual customers to select the best-fit solution
according to their requirements. This whitepaper is aimed at communicating the different aspects and situations in which televisions are not fit for purpose. Issues such as
flexibility for creative installations, addressing sufficient operating hours in retail stores or having the right inputs for corporate meeting rooms; professional large format
displays will fulfill these requirements while televisions will most likely lead to a significantly higher overall cost.
