Commercial displays are not more expensive because they don't have ads - that's an absurd suggestion. They are more expensive because they have higher requirements. They need to be running for at least 8 hours per day without issues, but often 24/7, as opposed to the usual 4-6. That's the main difference.
- SamBam 6y agoThat might be true, but it's not an "absurd suggestion." Amazon will sell you a Kindle for nearly 20% cheaper if you let it show you ads.
- Dylan16807 6y agoIn terms of actual dollars, those ads are worth about 20. The value isn't much different for a TV. When many commercial displays are hundreds of dollars more, it's pretty absurd to suggest ads are a large factor.
