EMC Digital Signage Product Knowledge Prior to Purchase:  The price of EMC signs varies immensely and there is great reasoning for this. There is no such thing as an inexpensive EMC sign, however, the “vast majority” are cheaply made and performance struggles in harsh environments, such as Florida. Most EMC sign specs ‘look’ the same on paper, however, it is the true and real life functionality that really matters. For instance, in FL virtually all EMC signs will show some sort of aging in their pixel quality within 1-2 years, with the exception of Watchfire.
In our experience servicing thousands of signs of all makes and models, Watchfire signs are the only we have witnessed with the ability to show full pixel uniformity after 5, 7 or even 10+ years in the field. This is why we have come to rely on this brand as the only one that is truly built for FL. For further reference, the pixel pitch is purely a pixel density, which is not to be confused with screen quality. A lower pixel density with a high quality brand will be far superior than a higher pixel density with a less expensive brand. For this, a Watchfire 16mm will be far superior over time versus virtually all other brand’s 10mm, 8mm or 6mm, etc. This is because virtually all other brands pixels will begin to fail and fade much quicker.
