Why You Should Always Check Digital Signage Screens After Shipping

The most visible part of digital signage is the screen that will be displaying your content. We have posted articles and videos about placement of the screens, what size to get, what type to buy, and how to protect them.

Another element that is important is checking your screens for any damage that may have happened during shipping. Most carriers are extremely careful when shipping screens. Yet, screens may face dangers in transit from the manufacturer to the signage company and then out to the install site.

In the warehouse, accidental run-ins with fork lifts and careless handling can render a screen damaged beyond use. Often, there are other deliveries made before the screens make it to their destination, presenting opportunities where the screens could be damaged by other cargo.

While these instances are rare, it still is best practice to inspect each screen as soon as it arrives. Even if there seems to only be slight damage to the shipping box, take the screen out and power it up to make sure it is functioning properly. If there is an issue, it is best to know quickly so arrangements can be made to rectify the situation.
