We recommend that you use a digital display, not analog. For the type of digital display, we recommend LCD, not plasma.

Digital signage uses static images more often than it uses full-motion video. Most often, content is web-based or animated in Flash. The nature of these media types means that some pixels are not updated frequently in digital signage. Given that LCDs are less susceptible to burn-in than plasma displays are, LCD displays are the superior choice for digital signage.

•32" — MultiSync® LCD3210

•40" — Either of these:
