As the HT-guy, I've been appointed at my company to recommend some hardware for a project we're doing that will need about 100 plasma TVs for the first installation. (I'm looking forward to making that order!)
I'm looking for ideas on 42" plasma monitors. They only need to display 852x480 (no hi-res). The important things to consider are that they'll be running 24x7 and I'll need to know how many hours we can expect to get out of them.
I haven't done any more than basic web R&D, but the range of units is amazing. From the $2900 Panasonic TH-42PWD6UY to the $5000 ViewSonic VPW450HD. Cost, of course, will be a factor.
Is there something glaring that I'm missing? These units will sit in public, well-lit, areas, above eye-level (about 7' high). Display angle should be as wide as possible (All the info I could find on the ones I've researched state they are 160 degrees wide). I'm not sure on the source distribution, yet.
Any input at all will be gratefully appreciated!
