Modern flat screen LCD and plasma TVs have many uses outside the home. Digital signage, communication display and information screens. But when taking an LCD TV outdoors, protection is crucial. Waterproof LCD enclosures provide a cost effective and comprehensive form of outdoor all-weather protection for LCD screens, enabling their use in almost any environment.Waterproof LCD enclosures enable standard commercial and consumer grade TVs to operate in outdoor locations. Whilst waterproof, enabling the using of LCD screens in rain and other weather fronts, waterproof LCD enclosures offer other forms of protection too.All-weather ProtectionRainfall is not the only element that needs keeping away from a TV screen if it is to operate outdoors. Snow, hail and windblown dust can all cause problems if allowed to penetrate the outdoor enclosure and get at the screen. Waterproof LCD enclosures prevent all forms of moisture and particles from getting inside. Designed with shaped chamber filtration systems that enable fresh air to circulate inside the enclosure but prevent moisture or particulates from getting at the screen.Temperature ControlAnother important requirement for screens operating outdoors is ensuring they can function in variable and seasonal temperatures. The temperature swing from summer to winter can go from extremely hot where an outdoor screen requires cooling systems, to freezing cold, requiring heaters to maintain an optimum temperature.Waterproof LCD enclosures employ climatic systems that maintain the optimum range for the screen. Heaters and insulation maintain temperature during cold conditions, while air conditioners and cooling fans keep the screen cool during hot conditions.Physical ProtectionScreens operating outdoors, providing information or as outdoor digital signage, are often left unsupervised in unmanned locations. Because of this, outdoor screens often fall victim to vandalism. Waterproof LCD enclosures also provide physical protection, protecting the enclosed screen against impact and shock. Made from steel with shatterproof screen, waterproof LCD enclosures provide ideal defence against attempts at vandalism and accidental impacts. With the housed screens securely locked inside, they also prevent attempts at theft and tampering.Other Advantages Waterproof LCD enclosures have other advantages too. While some TV screens are manufactured specifically for outdoor use, these are highly expensive, often costing many times more than similar sized standard devices. Waterproof LCD enclosures can accommodate nearly any type, make or model of TV screen. The cost savings of using a standard device, housed in a waterproof LCD enclosure, can be huge, especially as the waterproof LCD enclosure can be reused, housing several generations of screen.As waterproof LCD enclosures house almost any make and model of LCD screen they enable the flexibility of choosing whatever size and model of screen you\'d prefer for outdoors, rather than relying on specific outdoor models. Waterproof LCD enclosures come in virtually all sizes that LCD displays are manufactured to, giving total flexibility in screen choice. As the environment within a waterproof LCD enclosure is kept at the optimum for running a screen, they can actually extend the screen\'s lifetime.UsesWaterproof LCD enclosure are a cost effective and yet comprehensive form of using a TV in an outdoor location for almost any use, but commonly are used for:• Protective housings for outdoor digital signage, enabling twenty-four hour screen use for displaying advertisement, promotional content and branding. •lCD enclosures too, often used on railway platforms and other locations where information provision is required.
