GPO US FAQ Series

GPO US is introducing our new FAQ series.  We will answer the most common questions asked out on the field.  We hope this series will help guide all of you as we strive to become a resource for your display and video wall projects!

Why should I use GPO US’ Slide Bracket Mounts? 

Our proprietary “Slide Bracket” mounting system has no moving parts.  This ensures that alignment is maintained throughout the entire course of an installation’s lifetime.  Unlike “pull-out” mounts commonly used in video wall applications, Slide Bracket mounts allow for zero z-axis drift and require no additional adjustments in the event that a set is replaced.   Other mounting systems show the effects of gravity when a screen is pulled out into its service position, often leading to time-consuming realignment.

There is less risk of panel damage during both installation and service of displays mounted via Slide Bracket.  Unlike their “pull-out” counterparts, Slide Brackets never require installers/service technicians to touch the LCD panel surface.  Many “pull-out” mounts require pressure to be applied to the panel surface in order to enter a display into its service position.  With Slide Bracket mounts, only the bezels of the panel are handled- a far sturdier component of the panel module than the TFT-LCD surface.

Displays slide side-to-side within the Slide Bracket’s track system, providing easy access to devices positioned behind the displays on the wall surface (e.g., multimedia players, distribution amplifiers) without removal of displays from mounts.  Side covers (trim kit) are also included, lending a sleek, clean appearance to your wall.  While our Slide Bracket mounts offer superior design and affordability, GPO US video wall displays can also be used with third-party mounts when “pull-out” functionality is a requirement.
