Is there a proper term or category for a monitor meant for high end installations that has no branding on it (e.g., as one would put into a display at a museum)

I refuse to buy something with a logo on the front of it.
- NonNefarious 4y agoI got a projector. No "smart" bullshit, branding issues, or other obnoxiousness.
- naikrovek 4y agocongratulations. a projector won't work for everyone.
- NonNefarious 4y agoYou're welcome.
- semi-extrinsic 4y agoYou might want to search for "Public Display" monitors. Although these usually have some smart-ish software used to run digital signage and stuff, they probably don't spy on you.

- MR4D 4y agoYes. In fact, Jeff Geerling just had a YouTube episode about one (and Raspberry Pi of course). https://youtu.be/-epPf7D8oMk https://youtu.be/-epPf7D8oMk
- cheriot 4y agoThin bevel TVs don't have space for the logo. For example https://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-oled65c1pub-oled-4k-tv https://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-oled65c1pub-oled-4k-tv
- JonathonW 4y agoThat model has a logo on the stand. It's pretty small, but logos are generally fairly small on almost any current TV (since thin bezels are in style, which doesn't leave much room for a logo).
- JellyBeanThief 4y agoHave you considered concealing the logos? I ask because I haven't and I'd be interested to hear the thoughts of someone who has. I imagine there could be lots of ways to conceal logos attractively if know-how and slightly greater effort is on the table.
- lillecarl 4y agoIt's quite common for people to put stickers over the logo in their MacBooks, I've done it on one of my work machines.
- maxander 4y agoA bit of black electrical tape, carefully applied, is pretty discreet on a typical black casing
- frob 4y agoMatte black nail polish ought to do the trick
- molszanski 4y agoI removed a logo with a nail polish and a dental floss
- cpach 4y agoIntriguing! What was the use for the floss there…?

- hsbauauvhabzb 4y agoI buy laminate off eBay that’s consistent with my tv / monitor covers, matte / reflective black. It’s noticeable if you look but better than the alternative. Samsung ‘the frame’ has branding on the side. It’s a shame the software on recent versions has a user hostile iptv component that doesn’t seem to have a disable function.
- spicybright 4y agoI would imagine you could carefully remove the label with the right tools, or if the TV will be far away enough from people, some thin black tape over it. Believe me though, I agree it's completely stupid you have to do that to avoid branding. But I doubt most companies would do that. Particularly for installations that have a ton more eyeballs on it than a family + their friends.

- m-p-3 4y agoI suppose something like "digital signage panels".

- eli 4y ago"Commercial Grade" - expect them to cost more. They also, in theory, are built to last longer. E.g. https://www.newegg.com/Commercial-TVs/SubCategory/ID-3672 https://www.newegg.com/Commercial-TVs/SubCategory/ID-3672
- xattt 4y agoDoes the old trick of rubbing off branding with sugar still work?
- nsonha 4y agocommercial display? I'd imagine they being expansive and maybe the DPI isn't fit for home usage
- na85 4y agoDigital Signage was the term when I worked in that space.
- noduerme 4y agoI refuse to hang a TV on my wall at all. That's why I have a projector.
- simooooo 4y agoDon’t you still have to hang a screen?
