Ouch! Recently, many hotel owners have been asking about installing an LED screen in the lobby to improve the quality. After checking online, it turned out that what a great guy! There are quotes ranging from 5,000 to 500,000. Is the water too deep? Today we will break it down and talk about it, ensuring that you save at least 30% of the wasted money after reading it.

1. Three major pitfalls in hotel lobby screen selection

​​Pitfall ①: The brightness is not enough and you become blind."​​
Last year, a star-rated hotel in Guiyang suffered from this problem. The lighting in the lobby was too good during the day, but the brightness of the indoor screen installed was only 800 nits. Guests standing five meters away could not see promotional information clearly. Remember these two golden parameters:

• ​​Indoor screen​ ​: Choose one with a brightness of 1200-1500 nits, with automatic light sensitivity adjustment function (automatically brightens when the sun shines in)
• ​​Reception desk auxiliary screen​ ​: 800 nits is enough, but it must have wide viewing angle technology (can see clearly at 160 degrees left and right)

​​Pitfall ②: The refresh rate is not enough to blind the eyes.​​
When you look at the screens in some hotels, your eyes always feel tired, and 80% of the time it’s because the refresh rate is not up to standard. Test tip: Open the phone camera and point it at the screen. Only the ones without black stripes are qualified.

• The basic model has a refresh rate of at least 1920Hz
• With video playback function, it starts at 3840Hz

​​Pitfall ③: Hidden hidden secrets in maintenance costs​​
A boss tried to buy a screen from a non-branded screen at a low price, but the maintenance cost in two years was more expensive than the screen. Teach you how to calculate accounts:

2. Doorway to the installation location

You must be wondering where on earth this thing should be installed, right? Let’s talk about it in different scenarios:

​​Lobby main screen​​：

• 2.5 meters above the ground is most suitable (avoid looking up and looking at the neck soreness)
• Width = 1/3 of the length of the wall (less than this ratio will appear stingy, and exceeding this ratio will be depressing)
• Must bring front maintenance design (can replace the lamp beads without tearing down the wall)

​​Restaurant information screen​​：

• One 55-inch screen for every 50 dining places
• Installation height 1.8 meters (can be seen clearly even while sitting and eating)
• Remember to use an anti-oil coating (don’t ask why, anyone who has experienced oil fumes will understand)

​​Room guidance screen​​：

• 1 piece at the elevator entrance on each floor
• Choose the ultra-thin wall-mounted model (thickness less than 5cm will not be in the way)
• It is more practical with touch function (guests can check the information themselves)

3. Worry-free maintenance

​​The first tip: remote control should be standard​​
Nowadays, better screens can be controlled by mobile phones. During the epidemic, a certain hotel chain relied on this. The guy from the headquarters updated all the promotional content of stores across the country at home. Highlights:

• Whether to support 5G network control
• How many split screens can be managed simultaneously?
• Is there a power-off memory function (settings will not be lost if there is a sudden power outage)?

​​The second trick: dustproof and waterproof can’t be saved​​
Especially with the humidity in Guizhou, I have seen the most outrageous case: a nest of cockroaches lived in the screen of a hotel! When choosing equipment, you must look at:

• The indoor screen must have at least IP54 protection level (splash-proof and insect-proof)
• Outdoor guidance screens need to start with IP65 (work as usual on rainy days)

​​The third trick: digging into the details of warranty terms​​
Don’t just look at nice words like “five-year warranty”, make sure:

• A few broken lamp beads will count towards the entire screen warranty (conscientious manufacturers will only take care of 1% of the total)
• Whether the control system is insured (many merchants charge extra for this)
• Door-to-door response time (more than 48 hours for direct pass)

Last month, I just helped a hot spring hotel in Xifeng to replace the entire display system. Now the average daily passenger flow during the peak season has increased by 23%. To put it bluntly, choosing an LED screen is like looking for a partner—you have to be good-looking, good on the inside, and be able to live a good life. Next time you go to the building materials market, remember to bring this guide with you to ensure that the sales will not fool you casually!
