The New Avatar Of LCD Monitors: Thin Clients




LCD monitors now have another application apart from the usual plain display capabilities. Now they can be used as smart desktops-i.e. thin clients.

The trend has already caught up in the market as more & more LCD manufacturers are trying their hand in building thin clients. They are also offering firmware along with the LCD monitors that allow the end-user to easily access the server and facilitate centralized management on the client end.  For business enterprises wanting to have high profit at minimal investment, thin clients suing LCD is a great option.

But with use of thin clients its possible to reduce power consumption by considerable amounts. And you also get the benefit of using TFT LCD monitors which would mean less eye fatigue and hence be ergonomically beneficial to the organization.

The administration costs are reduced as well by the use of thin clients. The IT sector of your company would not have to worry about frequent hardware related problems as all the hardware you will be using will be just the LCD monitor. The in-built firmware will take care of the rest. And with just the monitor mobility is another factor that becomes very easy.
