oteliers need to ensure that when they procure
screens, they are of the correct size to be comfortable for the guest to view, while maintaining
international hotel trends. Currently the local
hotel grading council maintains that screens
should not be smaller than 32 inches in 3,4 and
5 star hotels.
But the definitive factor in screen size is actually the viewing
distance. 32” screens are only comfortable to be viewed
within 3 meters, therefore 40” screens should be considered
for 4 meter viewing distances, and in extremely large hotel
suites even larger screens should be used.
There are many inherent factors and benefits that Hospitality Displays offer hotels. They are designed to reduce
the long term cost of ownership to the hotel and simply put
they are easily installed with minimal maintenance staff
intervention for their lifespan.
This is achieved by their ability to be cloned and locked
down – therefore once the desired settings have been
chosen, management functions can be activated to lock out
the set-up functions – rendering the screen tamper proof.
These settings are then easily saved to a USB memory
stick and merely copied to the next screen.
The latest developments in Hospitality Displays also include
a Wifi access point, resolving the difficult task of offering
cost effective and reliable Wifi signals into the guest rooms.
From an entertainment perspective, the modern traveller
can mirror or synchronise their movies and pictures from
their tablets and smart phones without frustrating cables
and docking stations. TV content can be delivered over an
IP Ethernet network to provide both Standard Definition and
High Definition TV channels in the identical quality that the
channels are broadcasted in.
