DISPLAY SCREEN TRENDS ADVANTECH-INNOCORE
As for keeping models in stock for replacements, it’s essential to manage the display lifecycle effectively. While most contracts to supply are typically three to five years, strategic planning ensures that you can maintain the product over this period and seamlessly transition to newer models when needed.
What are the major differences between a cheap monitor from a non-gaming supplier as compared to the IDS models supplied by Advantech?
Generally speaking, when comparing cheap monitors from non-gaming suppliers to the Advantech IDS models, several key distinctions need to be taken into account. While cheap monitors serve general purposes, Advantech products use industrial grade components catering to specialised needs, emphasising durability with higher MTBF, reliability, and long-term availability. Cheaper models from non-gaming suppliers may be pulled at a moment’s notice from the market place leaving it very difficult to find a form-fit-function replacement for solutions.
In terms of connectivity, are all displays now standard, or is there a wide range of connections and software to bear in mind when thinking about adding a monitor within a slot setup?
Essentially the monitor is like a dumb terminal to the gaming cabinet, so specialised software is generally not needed. Usually Touch firmware (F/W) and Analog-to-Digital card F/W just needs to be configured and secured for accurate responses and functionality.
Connectivity is generally via a USB port for the Touch functionality and either HDMI or DP for the graphics, multiple inputs is something most of our product ranges accommodate.

When developers opt for the most expensive, high- functioning displays there are a few things to take into account regarding power.
Brightness levels significantly
impact power usage alongside size and resolution. Displays
set to higher brightness levels will consume more energy, as will larger size displays, and higher resolutions require
more power due to higher pixel density.
display, and how long do you need to keep models in stock to replace them?
Te average lifespan of slots displays can vary based on usage, quality, and technology. Generally, monitors used in slot machines typically last between five to 10 years. However, this can differ depending on the type of display technology and how well it is maintained.
l
LCD Monitors: LCD monitors, commonly found in slot machines, tend to last around five to 10 years. Proper care and regular maintenance can help prolong their operational life.
l
LED Monitors: LED monitors, known for their energy efficiency and vibrant colours, have a longer lifespan. Tey can last 10 years or more.
If developers go for the most expensive, most high functioning display on the market - what do they need to consider in terms of powering such solutions?
When developers opt for the most expensive, high-functioning displays there are a few things to take into account regarding power. Brightness levels significantly impact power usage alongside size and resolution. Displays set to higher brightness levels will consume more energy, as will larger size displays, and higher resolutions require more power due to higher pixel density.
A balance is needed to be found when optimising visibility and performance over minimising power consumption.
Another factor is heat management within the display cabinet. High-functioning displays can produce substantial heat and adequate cooling mechanisms must be in place to prevent overheating, which could affect performance and longevity.
