Buyer Beware! Why Bargain Displays Are Not a Good Investment |

Traditionally high quality displays from upper tier manufacturers have proven to be excellent technology investments, giving users many years of excellent service. However, recently a glut of "bargain" displays have been entering the mass retail market, big box houses and price clubs, which may not really qualify as investments. Here's why: - Repair Issues - High quality displays can be repaired at any time by qualified service people. Many bargain displays have no network of service centers or parts distribution. Therefore, many of these displays cannot be repaired after their warranty period expires. Since many bargain displays cannot be repaired - they are by necessity "disposable".
- Technology - Top tier manufacturers spend millions on R&D assuring that you get the very latest innovation in technology. Bargain brands use existing technologies which may be a year or more behind.
- Picture Quality - Better brands use more expensive video processors, high contrast glass and other high quality components that assure optimum picture quality. Bargain brands generally use the lowest cost components available.
- Connectivity - High quality brands offer lots of inputs and control options like RS-232 control and VGA inputs. Bargain brands include fewer of these necessary inputs.
- Reliability - Quality displays typically have 1% or lower failure rate. Conversely bargain brands have failure rates as high as 25%.
- Local Installation and Service - Local AV professionals work on quality screens only. Bargain brands are limiting and do not work with quality components.
