What They Say
Planar (the US brand for Leyard) introduced a ‘lifetime’ warranty programme for its TVF video walls
What We Think
This programme should be popular with clients. LEDs, like all display devices, do decline in performance over time, albeit slowly. To deal with this, premium brands tend to run the LEDs well below their limits initially, allowing the drive to be increased over the lifetime of the product to maintain performance. Planar said that it would maintain the coverage ‘for as long as the customer owns the product’, and I guess that the firm has enough experience to know how long this would be. Further, it’s not impossible that they could increase the cost as the lifetime goes up so that, eventually, it would be cheaper to start again. (BR)
