How long will my GPO US video wall last?

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!

How long will my GPO US video wall last?

-The LCD panels used in our video wall displays are rated at 50,000 hours MTBF.  In other words, a GPO US video wall can typically operate constantly (24/7/365) for over 5.7 years before reaching half-brightness.  While video wall and LCD technology has advanced to the point that this is common, GPO US video walls have the added security of a superior backend electronics package.  The high-grade power supplies used in our solutions will ensure that the failure rate of backend electronics within that 5-6 year period is unparalleled.  All of the aforementioned numbers assume 24/7 operation, so many applications would likely lead to a video wall lasting upwards of a decade, depending on the environment and hours of use.

Tips:  Users can maintain the life span of our video walls by powering off displays when not in use and by keeping ambient temperature in mind.  Factors such as airflow in recessed wall applications should also be taken into account.  It is also wise to place the video wall in a well-ventilated area.  The vast majority of heat output on an LCD video wall emanates from the panel, so keep this in mind when designing video wall enclosures and/or cosmetic trim.  GPO US team members are a phone call away should you require additional guidance.

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.
