Televisions bought from the high-street will probably be cheaper in the short-term, however high-street warranties do not cover equipment placed into a non-domestic environment. As a consequence, the cost of the failure or damage of TV screens needs to be carefully considered.
The cost implication of just one or two screen failures will likely exceed the initial cost saving.
However, think also about the cost associated to the operational element of domestic TV screens. If a patient messes with the TV’s settings, who will fix this and how? What happens when one of your patients turns the volume up to 100?! And in the event of a an issue or TV failure, are you confident that Amazon or Currys will fix the issue quickly and efficently?
As mentioned in the above section, Healthcare TV screens all come with a standard two (or more) year warranty and typically can be replaced by Airwave within a 24/48 hour period. And of course, the specifically designed features must also be taken into consideration.
