Many of us have a TV cabinet at home where we mount our television, DVD and cable boxes, but while these mostly wooden cabinets provide an aesthetic method of mounting, another form of TV cabinet is allowing the use of modern LCD and plasma TVs in some of the most hostile locations.
Modern TVs have multiple applications. Because of their flat nature, low cost and high definition abilities, LCD and plasma screens are used in all sorts of locations out of the home, for all sorts of purposes.
In factory and shop floor locations, LCD screens make ideal displays for relaying processing information, while in outdoor locations, LCDs are commonly used for outdoor digital signage and information screen--and in the leisure industry, there is a growing trend for using TVs outside to entertain patrons forced outdoors by smoking bans.
Outdoor TV cabinets are ideal for all sorts of rugged, outdoor and hostile TV applications. Almost any standard TV can be installed in these rugged TV cabinets, which mostly adhere to the VESA mounting system (Video Electronics Standards Association).
Al sorts of sizes of outdoor TV cabinets are available to match the variety of different sized LCD and plasma screens on the market, ranging from small 20-24- to giant sized 70- TV enclosures.
Outdoor TV cabinets are mostly manufactured from steel to provide comprehensive physical protection against impact, vandalism and theft-including shatterproof screens and tamperproof locks, this allows them to be left unsupervised such as mounted outside where they can remain all year round.
But the real protection offered by these outdoor TV cabinets which allows them to be used almost anywhere, is the ability they have of being able to withstand liquids, dust, extreme temperature and other elements that would otherwise disable the screen.
Waterproof protection allows TV cabinets to be used outdoors under the weather and in wash-down locations such as food factories, while the dust protection means that even in grimy and dirty locations, dust is kept out of the cabinet, ensuring the TV doesn’t get clogged up, overheat or short circuit.
Temperature control enables TV cabinets to be placed outside, where cooling fans ensure the screen doesn’t overheat in the summer, and heaters, insulation and other climatic systems ensure it can function in the winter too.
These rugged and outdoor TV cabinets are used in a wide variety of locations and applications. Because of their weatherproof abilities and ruggedness, TV cabinets are often used to protect TVs outdoors-either for outdoor digital signage or for outdoor TV viewing. These sorts of systems have to be left unattended and can fall foul to vandalism and rowdy behavior, but the TV cabinet, being made of steel and with a shatterproof screen, means the TV can be left alone without fear of damage.
Even homeowners are utilizing TV cabinets as a method of installing backyard TVs. Because TV cabinet’s house standard TV equipment and enables their outdoor use, they are far cheaper than alternative outdoor TVs, which may afford the same level of weather protection than a TV enclosed in a TV cabinet, but will still require securing against theft and vandalism.
And with their use in factories, industrial units, ski resorts, beaches and transport hubs, protective TV cabinets are helping the growth of outdoor digital signage and allowing people normally restrained to a tight budget install and utilize outdoor screens.
TV cabinets come in a variety of sizes and are can house virtually any standard make or model of modern TV screen.
