Have you just received the task to purchase a large screen for the company, and you were confused when you looked at the technical parameters on the screen? Or was asked by the leader to "both high-definition and save money", and he was so anxious that he was spinning around the office? Don’t panic. Today we will talk about the tricks of enterprises purchasing LED displays, and teach you step by step from a rookie to an expert.

Last week, I met a friend who started a chain hotel and insisted on installing a transparent screen to the lobby to show the room type. As a result, I bought a batch of finished goods for the project at a cheap price. After loading it, I found that the picture was white and flickered. Finally, the shipping fee was more expensive than the screen after dismantling it. This reminded me of:​Enterprise-level LED screen procurement, choosing the right channel is more important than bargaining​​. Then the question is, how to find a reliable source of goods?

​​First find out your own needs​​. Just like when buying clothes, you have to look at your figure, and when buying a screen, you have to measure your financial assets first:

• Is the installation environment indoor or open air?
• How long does it take to light the screen every day?
• Do you mainly broadcast static images or dynamic videos?
• Do you need remote control?

For example, if you install an advertising screen in a shopping mall atrium, you must choose an outdoor model with automatic brightness adjustment. The creative screen with transparent effects may be needed in corporate exhibition halls, which is very knowledgeable here.

​​Comparison of advantages and disadvantages of procurement channels​, let’s use plain language to make a comparison table:

Especially for those display screens with curved splicing, finding a manufacturer to customize directly can save more than 20% of the transformation cost. There is a very interesting data. Now 75% of group companies have begun to bypass middlemen in purchasing.

​​Hard indicators that must be seen in factory inspection​​, teach you five tricks to prevent pits:

1. ​Check the production scale​: Manufacturers with monthly output of tens of thousands of square meters will definitely have sufficient equipment inventory
2. ​​Look at the certification wall​: ISO9001 is the basic threshold, and CE certification means export to the EU
3. ​​Trial sample​: 4K test films are required to be played on-site, focusing on whether the color transition is natural
4. ​​Touch the cooling system​: Touch the housing temperature for two hours after turning on the machine. Be careful if it exceeds 45℃.
5. ​​Ask update cycle​: Mainstream manufacturers iterate their technical solutions at least twice a year

I remember that there was a procurement case in science and technology park last year. When inspecting the factory, I found that the other party used the 2018 technical plan to pretend to be a new model, and almost got cheated of more than three million yuan. Later, I changed to a regular manufacturer and directly demonstrated the pre-research products in the laboratory, which was why I really bought the technical reserves for the next three years.

​​How to squeeze the price of water​? Remember these three killer weapons:

• Don't be confused by the "unit price per square meter", it must be considered the overall solution cost
• Required to split the quotation: Hardware, software, and installation fees must be listed
• Long-term cooperation can be discussed in terms of technology replacement, such as using enterprise LOGO for three-year warranty

But be aware that some low-price routines are hidden deep. For example, use commercial screens to impersonate industrial grade, or false protection level. Here is a trick:​Let the manufacturer provide a five-year use report for the same model of products​​, check the failure rate and repair frequency.

​​Concentrated Q&A with high frequency questions​：
Q: What pitfalls should be paid attention to when purchasing contracts?
A: Focus on three clauses: quality acceptance standards (must be quantified), late delivery of liquidated damages (three-thousandths per day), intellectual property ownership (must agree on software copyright)

Q: How to judge the real life of the screen?
A: The manufacturer is required to present a third-party accelerated aging test report, and the normal outdoor screen should reach a lifespan of 100,000 hours.

Q: How to choose the installation team?
A: Priority is given to manufacturers with installation teams, as outsourcing construction teams are prone to disputes. During acceptance, focus on checking the power supply wiring and cooling air ducts

To be honest, the water in this line is indeed deep now. Some small workshops sell refurbished modules as new products and start qualifying in half a year. So the focus is on the manufacturer​R&D investment proportionandPatent reserves​, these two items have the highest cost of fraud.

Finally, let’s be honest. Procurement of LED screens is not as simple as buying a TV. From solution design to installation and debugging, to maintenance and upgrades in five years, every step may be mined. If you are not sure next time, remember to ask the manufacturer to produce a 3D simulation rendering and compare the on-site videos of similar projects they have done. You will feel confident, right?
