Power consumption – Efficiency and sustainability.
A monitor’s energy consumption not only affects TCO, but also eco-friendliness and sustainability. Modern monitors come with a host of energy-saving features that can help reduce power consumption, such as automatic power off after a defined period of inactivity, brightness sensors and eco modes all of which can optimise power consumption and protect resources. In bigger offices where there are a large number of monitors in use, choosing energy-efficient models can minimise a company’s carbon footprint and help achieve long-term savings. A monitor’s energy efficiency classification is clearly displayed on labels on a scale from A (or A+++ / A++ (green)) to G (red). The size of the monitor doesn’t necessarily impact the amount of power it needs.
Monitors for special application areas.
Not every business monitor is suitable for office use. Demands on workplace displays change depending on the industry, so while touch screens in production and logistics settings need to be robust, medical devices have to be hygienic as well. On the other hand, connectivity is a top priority when it comes to conferencing monitors and surveillance monitors need to be designed for 24×7 operation. Here is an overview of the most common monitor uses:
Flexible working – Dual monitor setups.
Laptops are growing in popularity for business use and are fundamental for the home office and Modern Workplace. Their portability does, however, have some disadvantages as they have a much smaller screen than desktops, which is why its standard to connect one or two monitors to a laptop when working at a desk.
With the right hardware, such as a docking station, you can expand your laptop display and seamlessly switch between screens giving you more real estate for applications, improving multi-tasking capabilities and giving you a better overview of your environment. No matter if you’re working on a big project, comparing data or trying to keep an eye on multiple things at once, connecting two monitors to your laptop can considerably improve your working life.
Medical monitors – Screens for the most demanding users.
In doctor’s surgeries and hospitals, precise displays and reliable connectivity are essential. Medical monitors specifically designed for medical imaging are key when in diagnostics and treatment, while surgical monitors give doctors a clear view during operations to optimise precision and safety. But it’s not just visual quality that’s important. Hygiene is imperative. Medical monitors must meet the highest hygiene standards to ensure a safe working environment.
Portable monitors – On-the-go flexibility.
The modern world of work demands flexibility and mobility, and portable monitors are an innovative solution that allow you to take your work with you everywhere. These compact displays are lightweight, thin and are easy to pack away in a bag while simple connectivity mean you can connect them to a laptop or tablet in a snap to expand your screen and work more productively wherever you are.
Conferencing monitors – Communications made easy.
We need to communicate and collaborate effectively in our modern networked world and conferencing monitors offer the perfect platform for enhanced meetings and presentations, High-resolution screens and crystal-clear sound ensure a lively and immersive conferencing experience, while integrated cameras and microphones ensure seamless video conferences and interactive features facilitate project collaboration.
Industrial displays – Reliability for demanding environments.
In industrial environments where robustness and reliability are a must, industrial displays are a worthwhile investment. These rugged monitors have been specially designed to fulfil the requirements of factories and production sites to deliver not only clear visuals, but also resilient constructions that withstand vibrations, dust and humidity.
One example is machine-mounted terminals that are common in industrial settings and act as a direct interface with machinery. We at Bechtle have a range of industrial displays designed to deliver reliable performance in tough environments.
Surveillance screens – 24×7 monitoring.
In security-critical environments like monitoring centres, public transportation and factories, you need clear and reliable visual data. Surveillance screens help ensure round-the-clock security and motoring, delivering razor-sharp images 24×7 as well as other features such as split screen displays and signal monitoring so you can keep an eye on all your cameras and sensors, when you need to make a decision fast, these monitors’ picture quality and reliability are precisely what you need.
Room management displays – Modern office resource planning.
We work in a very dynamic world and the efficient use of resources is at the top of the agenda. Room management displays are a smart solution for optimally managing meeting rooms, desks and resources showing real-time occupancy, allowing booking and providing a user-friendly platform for resource planning. Room management displays don’t only save you time, but are also easy on resources as they support better room utilisation.
