Chapter 2 Installing the display
smarttech.com/kb/171555 25
There are a number of potential hazards of mounting a display in a non-standard orientation or angle:
l
Mounting a display horizontally (like a table top) can cause the glass to sag, damaging the display
or interfering with the display’s touch system.
l
Non-standard orientation can affect ventilation, creating hotpots in equipment, premature failures
and, in displays that use projectors, exploding projector bulbs.
l
Mount the display vertically (90° relative to the floor plus or minus 2° for tolerance) and in landscape
orientation. SMART doesn’t support mounting the display at other angles or in portrait orientation.
l
Use the included wall mount. Optionally, use a VESA-approved mounting plate that is rated for the
display’s weight and size.
