Compare & Beware.

Getting several quotes? Do you require multiple bids? Did you get 10 quotes, and they all say something different? Frustrated? There is no great mystery to LED Displays. Learn more today.

We have compiled a simple list that will help you compare all the quotes; to make sure you are comparing apples to apples. If you cannot find these items below, we recommend calling that company for more details.

Compare & Beware Checklist:

1. Is the Pixel Matrix the same ?
Note: For example, 32 x 128

2. Is the Pitch the same ?
Note: For example: The higher the pitch, the bigger the text.

3. Is the Viewing Angle the same ?
Note: 30-90 degrees is fair, 125-140 degrees is the best.

4. Are you getting an Illuminated Cabinet? If so, is it UL Listed & Approved ?
Note: Its about quality and safety. This means the cabinet was built to
meet UL specifications and labeled with a unique UL inspection number.

5. Compare the Warranty offered by each company.
Note: One year parts/factory labor warranty is standard on the display and
the communication devices (radios, modems, etc). Some companies offer onsite
labor for an additional nominal charge. Also, LEDs are rated for 100,000 hours of life,
about 11.3 years. Some companies offer a 10 yr warranty based solely on this fact.
Read the warranties carefully.

6. Is Freight or Installation included ?
Note: These are hidden costs that can be expensive.

7. What Support will you receive ?
Note: 24 hr tech support, Software training & support, Toll-Free 800#, etc.

8. Experience. How long has the company been in business?
Note: Look for references, client lists, photos, or an online Photo Gallery or Testimonials.
