Industrial vs Retail Monitors

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A RETAIL LCD MONITOR AND AN INDUSTRIAL-GRADE MONITOR?

Why would you (should you) choose one over the other? We hear these questions all the time. People are often confused about the characteristics of each type of video monitor, and don’t know which is best suited for their needs. No one wants to make the wrong decision. Industrial-grade monitors tend to have a higher up-front cost, but are they worth it?? Well, like so many other things, the answer is “It depends….”

IT DEPENDS UPON WHEN, WHERE AND HOW YOU ARE GOING TO USE YOUR VIDEO DISPLAY

Will it be at home, indoors? Will it be outside, in bright sunshine or pouring rain? Will it be mounted in a vehicle, or on a boat? What types of features do you need? Does it need to be rugged? What about the picture quality? The LCD Monitor Comparison Guide will help educate you about the different features, attributes and capabilities of each style of monitor. This, in turn, should help you make an informed decision.
