An industrial LCD monitor is a durable display used with industrial computers, but can display video from any source. It is similar to home/office computer displays but more robust. It may have a touch screen and can be protected by industry standards like NEMA. Arcade games often use industrial LCD monitors.
An industrial LCD monitor is a rugged display usually used with an industrial computer, although it can be used to display a video image from any video source. LCD is short for liquid crystal display. LCD technology has almost completely replaced the older cathode ray tube (CRT) technology used for many years for industrial monitors.
An industrial LCD monitor uses very similar technology to what you might be reading this article about with your home or office computer. It also serves the same purpose: simply to display the video image that is generated by the computer. An industrial LCD monitor differs from desktop technology only in that it is much more robust. It is typically mounted in a steel or aluminum frame that allows it to be mounted in an equipment rack.
However, in some cases, the package needs to be more extensive to protect the industrial LCD monitor from possible exposure to liquid, dust or even air in some extreme situations. All of these details tend to follow industry standards, the most common of which are set by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). For example, if you were to request a quote for an industrial LCD monitor in a 4-inch rack mount NEMA 19 enclosure, the manufacturer of the industrial LCD monitor will know exactly what you want.
One feature that is often added to an industrial LCD monitor, but unlikely to be present on your desktop monitor, is a touch-sensitive screen. This allows the user to interact with the computer program by touching the display and, in some cases, eliminates the need for a keyboard or keyboard as an input device.
Industrial LCD monitors are used everywhere now and you’ve almost certainly come across at least one. Arcade video games use industrial LCD monitors, and this is perhaps your most likely exposure to an industrial LCD monitor. Arcade video games require an unusual feature. Since the image on the monitor is usually viewed indirectly through a mirror, the image on the monitor must be reversed and reversed. Some industrial LCD monitors have a simple way to provide this unusual feature.
