6/7/2023 0 Comments Tv display menu![]() So now ambient mode doesn't open but the tv just turns off, even though I have all energy saving options set to never turn the tv off as well as all timer settings and everything that could possibly be some sort of timer. I disabled the ambient mode app in the settings. The problem is that when I open the pictures from the Connected USB stick, The picture only stays open for 15 minutes and after that the tv goes into Screensaver/Ambient mode. I have 6 TVs and 6 pictures and they all need to only display 1 picture per tv. With the latest professional displays, you can also get digital signage players included within the display itself, so you don’t need that extra bit of kit.So I have a couple of TVs running Google TV that I want to use to display the menu for my restaurant. If you’ve got the budget, you can let your imagination run wild. With thin bezels and sturdier housing, you can make show-stopping signage by putting multiple monitors together, as a wall, a tower, or staggering them up a staircase, with your content running seamlessly across. A pro display is designed to be put on the wall in portrait and landscape and has the right fan placement to make sure it doesn’t overheat. While you can put a TV in portrait mode, it won’t like it. You also get more positioning options with professional monitors. For example, ghosting, where an image stays on screen after the content has changed, or burn-in, where some of the pixels freeze. While professional displays can handle this, TVs that are used for long periods can start to get colour and image issues. TVs are designed to be used for approximately eight hours a day, whereas you might want your signage to be on all the time in your shopfront. If you’re using a TV as a digital signage display and it breaks, you’ve almost certainly broken your warranty agreement, so won’t get any service or a replacement from the manufacturer. ![]() ![]() Professional displays are brighter, sturdier and can operate for up to 24 hours a day within a warranty. What’s the difference? Apart from price, the obvious one is that a TV has a TV tuner and a professional display doesn’t. Professional (also called commercial) displays are a lot more expensive than TVs but might be worth the investment if you need your signage to be on most of the time, or to be in a really bright area, or if you do want that slick video wall. Not all TV screens are made equal and what’s good for your lounge isn’t necessarily good for your lobby. Which leads us nicely on to the pros and cons of consumer vs pro. For that you will need a professional display. The bezels are too thick, and TVs aren’t designed to be able to show one section of an image or video in the seamless way you would need. One other consideration for the position of your TV(s) – if you have ambitious plans for your signage – is that you can’t use consumer TVs to create video walls. Secondly, where are you going to put the TV(s)? Will it be on your reception desk, or do you want it on the wall above your counter? Check the stand or wall mount options that the TV comes with, you might need brackets if these aren’t included.ĭo you want to show signs in portrait rather than in landscape? If so, look for a TV that has a thin frame (bezel) that’s the same width all the way around, otherwise you’ll have one thick border in the ‘wrong’ place that could look weird. Are you going to be creating content in 4K? Things are moving that way, so do you want to futureproof your purchase? Really depends on how much cash you want to splash right now. What you need depends on what content you’re going to show. When TV buying, your resolution options are Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) or Ultra HD/4K, four times higher than full HD (3840 x 2160). If you’re looking to buy a new TV rather than use what you already have, there are a couple of things to consider: w hat content are you going to show, and where is your signage going to be? You’re not likely to find a modern TV without a HDMI cable, and a very few even have a DisplayPort connection, designed for monitors, that can handle high resolution content more smoothly at a faster refresh rate. This lets you control the TV from your content management system and start showing content. So, using your TV for digital signage is as simple as plugging in a digital signage player with a HDMI cable, for example, Cenareo’s Plug & Play player.
