Plasma Enclosure - More Than Just A Metal Cabinet

By: Max Gallagher

When companies want to deploy outside digital signage they recognize the demand to defend the solution unlike people who want to install a Television in their backyard, what makes these different from just a steel box.

Outdoor Dynamic Signage.
Fitters and end users realize the need to guard the funds they have invested in the technology, software and their businesses content campaigns, by fitting the device into an Plasma cabinet, these offer sufficient protection from the environment as well as vandals.

Garden LCD installations.
Domestic users every so often question the worth and do not realize how complex an Outdoor LCD cabinet is, making their standard domestic TV an outside Television, picture you purchase a display from a high street store, deploy it out-of-doors and do not protect it, how long will it last open to the elements? What will come about if it gets pinched or unintentionally smashed with the children playing ball? You will then have to restore it with another Television and then no d ought they will then reflect on shielding their investment with an LCD case. These water proof TV covers offer all the protection required for a lasting solution that will last for up to 10 years outdoors.
What to consider for your Outdoor LCD housing.

A few years ago some one shared with me that anyone can make a box in the garage, this is correct however it is the out of the ordinary pieces of devices that makes these cases different, it is the capacity for the Display to "breathe" within the housing, as you can grasp a wholly sealed TV box will result in heat build up and then black spots on the display were the crystals have died resulting in a ruined display.

Just fitting a circulating fan does not work as these have to be developed into certain sections to make sure plenty and equal air flow throughout the unit, then they also have to be integrated in "breather chambers", these allow air into the enclosure while at the same time stopping water entering the casing. Then there is how you will mount the display in the casing. The same can be said for heating the unit during the wintry weather months, lacking heating the TVs crystals will freeze and the screen will without doubt need replacing.
Then there is the viewing window, get this wrong and you have wasted your budget and time, but with over 81 unlike varieties of products making the accurate verdict is almost impracticable, this is why LCD casing producers explore this section and are always evaluating for the best optical superiority viewing window that has the best anti glare properties.

Then what material to construct it from?
Stainless steel or metal then coated, this is the selection, deploying stainless steel is pricey owing to the massive raw material expenses, add to that the individual finishing of the welds. When stainless steel is welded a chemical effect occurs and the joint along the weld is a blue color, this is due to oxidation. Oxygen around the material when welding, however if you can put an inert gas at the back of the weld, this will eradicate the blue color and it will not need the finishing it otherwise would need to bring it back to a shinny finish.
