KEY POINTS
|
As you continue to do the research, you may think: "All of those screens. They must use a lot of power!" They do! Although green initiatives have pushed power usage way down, many digital signage players use more power than the screens themselves. Screens' and digital signage players' electricity consumption is a hidden cost that's rarely considered! Once you start adding peripherals such as extenders, the power demand grows even higher. PCs on average use 200 watts of electricity (under load), equaling out to 1,752 kWh/year. In layman terms, a really nice stainless steel side-by-side refrigerator/freezer (25 Cubic Feet) is 571 kWh/year*. This means that a PC-Based digital signage player consumes the same amount of electricity in a years time as three and a half refrigerators. Just imagine having all of those refrigerators hanging on the wall! Brings things into perspective, doesn’t it? |

NATURALLY PROGRESS
If digital signage is the natural progression of the common sign, shouldn’t it be more eco-friendly?
