Consumer TVs typically have no stated runtimes, lower brightness levels, and lack commercial features, making them less suitable for out-of-home environments. In contrast, commercial displays offer longer runtimes (16-18 hours), higher brightness (400-500), and advanced features like extensive external control and modularity, which are essential for professional use.

To achieve the best ROI, it's important to choose a display that meets your specific needs without overspending on unnecessary features. While 56% of displays sold in U.S. ProAV channels are consumer-grade TVs, opting for a commercial or professional display can prevent future costs associated with replacements or failures, ensuring that your investment is sound.

Consumer TVs generally come with a 1-year residential warranty, which is voided if used in commercial settings. Commercial TVs offer a 1-3 year warranty, while professional displays typically provide a 3-year commercial warranty, ensuring better support and reliability for business applications.
