Unleash the Power of Ultra-Wide Screens
Roasters Market has been serving coffee lovers on the go in Chickasha, OK, with the help of digital menu boards and a cloud-based CMS. But what about those humongous ultra-wide monitors? Are they just eye-catching or do they come with their own set of challenges?
Let's dive in!
Ultra-Wide Displays: The Not-So-Easy Setup
Industry whizzes from Crimson AV, Jupiter Systems, LG Business Solutions USA, Peerless-AV, and PPDS share their insights on the tricky mounting dilemmas of ultra-wide displays.
Here's a peek at what's at stake:
- Space Hogging: Ultra-wide screens can span up to 34 inches or more, snatching a substantial chunk of your precious desk real estate. You might just find your coffee maker pushing the limits of a tight corner once you introduce this colossal display[1].
- Hauling Headaches: The larger size means these screens are heavy and bulky, posing challenges for relocation. Curved ultra-wide displays complicate matters even more because they don't fit neatly into standard moving or mounting setups, increasing the risk of smashing and crashing during transport[1].
- Mounting Mayhem: The quirky physical attributes of ultra-wide screens, like their weight distribution and curvature, can make the mounting process more complex. Sturdy mounts that can accommodate larger surface areas and heavier weights are must-haves, but compatibility with VESA standards can be hit or miss, so choose your mounts wisely[1].
- Cabling Chaos: With more ports and cables required for ultra-wide functionality, installation becomes a tangled web of cables. So, expect a messy workspace unless you've mastered the art of meticulous cable routing and management[1].
The experts warn that while ultra-wide screens offer a breathtaking user experience, their installation can be a beast. You may need specialized mounts, workspace adjustments, and careful planning for optimal integration[1].
