I am in the process of starting a kitchen and bathroom company, part of our advertising will be a display in a garden centre and this will incorporate a 40" TV screen.
The TV will show videos and photos and will be on for prolonged periods, I want a screen that will be reliable. look good, have decent sound and not suffer badly from screen burn,I do not have to pay for the electricity so I am not hugely concerned about power consumption.
Value for money does matter but I do not want to skimp and buy something poor quality and unreliable.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks.

You would want a commercial grade Panasonic or Samsung. Does it need sound. Most commercial screens don't have speakers.

How many hours of use per day? Some screens have 24/7 runtime some have 8 hours runtime.

Domestic screens can work out for you however you may find them failing after 7-8 months.

Panasonic have a better warranty then Samsung as Panasonic will replace when a single pixel fails. Samsung it's 5!

It will be on for a maximum of 8 hours per day, it will need sound, I would rather not have external speakers but could if I had to.
I have a Panasonic plasma at home and I have been very happy with it so I am drawn towards Panasonic.

This is what I am considering:

The built in Wi-Fi could be useful for downloading content from th internet and it looks to be a good tv for the price.

On anything non commercial you could suffer from screen burn, dust issues, psu failures. All commercial sets are higher rated for longer run times.

Thanks for the advice, I bought the Panasonic, it seemed like a good deal and should hopefully do the job. I will just have to wait and see how it copes.
