Large-Format Size Strategy

For many large-format Wall-Mounted Touch Terminal projects, 75" is the most practical starting point. A 98" product is usually the practical maximum for regular projects. A 110" product should be treated only as a special evaluation.

Is the Terminal Facing a Storefront Window or Installed Outdoors?

Standard Wall-Mounted Touch Terminals are primarily indoor products. Strong daylight, direct sunlight, semi-outdoor exposure and outdoor use require separate review of target brightness, reflection, touch behavior, backlight heat, ventilation, sealing, condensation and wall structure.

Use High Brightness Displays as the main environmental route. Select Window-Facing Displays for screens behind storefront glass and Outdoor Touch Displays for direct outdoor interaction.
