Deluxe Flat Panels Offered through Samsung.

As discussed in an earlier blog. The Samsung code for the deluxe LFDs is DX. This high-end panel is also available with network compatibility and then has a code of DXn. Throughout this blog the screen will be refered to as DX(n) to refer to both options.

THe DX(n) is avaialble in all sizes including 40″, 46″, 52″, 57″ and the DXn also offers 72″ and 80″.
This is a very impressive roster, but it should come as no surprise. The Deluxe model offered by Samsung is a very High-End LFD.

The product is designed for almost 24/7 use. The Samsung advertisements for the DX series call attention to several key features.

Readability - through ultra high brightness and constant ratio for premium viewing.
More Screen - A slim bezel frame with a width of only 2 cm.
Fast Response Time - 8ms response time allows the fastest moving pictures to still be seen with precision, style and clarity.
Connectivity, Quality,Innovative, Integrated, Reliable and much more.

Thats a lot of Fancy words (and this was just my summary of the main one) but what does it ultimately mean for you?

For a LCD flat panel rental or lease, you always want to be sure the LCD you get has the power and capability to fulfill your needs and expectations of the device. Samsung offers many different types of LCD flat panels, so that you can recieve the optimum product (The that best meets your specific requirements).

Vernon Technology Solutions offers many different Samsung LFDs and flat panel LCDs. As well, trained Vernon Staff and sales people can discuss your needs to make sure you get the best product to suit them.
Renting or Leasing Flat Panel LCDs or LFDs is a great way to enjoy the superior quality for a smaller price, or to test out the device in action before making a significant investment.

The screen has to be powerful, capable, and affordable, but it also has to be visible. That is where Vernon’s deal with Chief Manufacturing enters the picture. Chief Manufacturing designs wall/ceiling/table/floor mounts. These mounts come in all shapes and sizes and have many different options of movement, tilting, and panning.

A brilliant screen is wonderful, but it is important to make the screen as visible as possible by putting it in a place where everyone can see it, and by mounting it, you can save valuable desk space for all your other business.

For more details on the Deluxe LFD please see the following link to Samsung, or feel free to contact a Vernon Representative.
Or to find out about the new and exciting mounting options available from Chief, please feel free to browse the website, then contact Vernon Technology Solutions to rent or lease the mount for the duration of your LFD or Projector rental or lease.

Vernon Technology Solutions recently sent out a web message to its customers advertising the Touch screen LFD now available through Samsung for rent, lease, and purchase from Vernon Technology Solutions.
The Web message had to get a whole lot of information into a small space. Featured in the message was

“(The Samsung LFD Touch Screen) Will take communication to the next level integrated solution featuring:
Fast and accurate touch sensitive IR technology. Built in speakers. Anti image retention. with fast screen response time, users can get the information they need with just the touch of a finger. Touch sensitive display protected by a sheet of protective glass. Scheduling and controlling Made with built-in PC and proprietary MagicInfo-Pro software.”

The touch screen display is a very impressive offer. They are very capable of drawing a crowd and by being interactive they can set up to provide a lot of useful information for each and every person who uses the device.

Of course, we rent the hardware but with a huge potential for uses this device can be used to show your spark of imagination and creativity. The Touch Screen LFD is offered in many sizes including: 40″, 46″, 70″, 80″.

This is an exciting offer and it is not one to pass up. As technology improves it becomes harder to impress people with what may have been “the newest” last year.
The time for action is now.

Uses of the touch screen are limited only by your imagination. A few places where a touch screen can be used will be listed, but this is not exclusive.
Hotel Lobby, Mall, Airport, Casino, Information Booth, convention/tradeshow booth, store front, museum, and many more.
It can work wonders anywhere that you want to gather a crowd.

IF you have any suggestions of additional placements, why not add to the blog, please add as a comment below.

 

 

As seen in two blogs near the beginning of January, Vernon Technology Solutions offers Mounts to go along wih your rental/lease of  monitors, flat panels, or projectors. This offer become increasingly important as Vernon Technology Solutions started working with Samsung. Now as Vernon offers you a wider selection of flat panels, LFDs, and other screens, Vernon Technology Solutions is proud to announce that is officially a reseller for Chief Manufacturing.

This is an excitng announcement. Vernon Technology Solutions is constantly growing, as you may realize if you have been keeping up with the various blogs, but by reselling with Chief, Vernon is able to offer you much more accessories and options to make your rental or lease that much more impressive.

The key to mounts is to make your product visible to even more people! so why not look into this and use this opportunity to showcase your newly received products. Advertizing boards or large monitors can be mounted to a wall to prevent them from taking up valuable floor space.

More detailed blogs on Chief are likely to follow, but for now please feel free to visit http://www.chiefmfg.com and then contact Vernon Technology Solutions with your requests and orders.

As this partnership is just beginning, why not be the first to take advantage of increase in options.

  

 

 

 

 

Making the Best of a Bad Situation                  

The Economic situation over the last little while has not been wonderful, and with economic downturns come some very difficult decsions. Companies must find a way to deal with low value situations and in extreme scenarios, how to deal with worker layoffs and asset removal.

Vernon Technology Solutions is not happy that the economy has taken a turn for the worse, but it is times like these that allow Vernon Technology Solutions to shine.

Since money is low and large investments are risky. Renting or Leasing may be a much better choice then buying expensive hardware. Vernon Technology Solutions very commonly deals with Rent-To-Own or Lease-To-Own situations so if things improve or the investment was sound, then it is easy to turn the product into an Asset.

Other options include buying refurbished or Used products as opposed to pay significantly more to get the product new. The Vernon Technology Solutions embedded store “Good As New Computers” offers Grade A Refurbished or used products at fractions of the price.

Another way that Vernon Technology Solutions can help in these concerning times is Asset Buyback or Asset Recovery Services. If your company needs to offload some surplus hardware, or in an extreme case of laying off employees and then needing to remove all the excess hardware.
The Asset Recovery Service may be exactly what you need.

We all wish for a speedy Economic Recovery, but maybe some of the services offered by Vernon Technology Solutions can help ease some of your dilemmas.

Please follow this link for more details on the  Asset Recovery Service.

Please feel free to contact a Vernon Representative or visit the main Vernon Webpage at www.vernontech.ca with any questions, concerns, or if our services may be right for you.

 

IT World Canada: Gets a demo of the Vernon Crusher.

Company President Jim Drohan recently visited the IT World Canada studio to demo the Hard Disk Crusher. A blog report and video are posted at the following link.

http://blogs.itworldcanada.com/security/2008/12/12/crush-data-leakage-literally/

The Blog is titled “Crush Data Leakage - Literally.” Although the blog is short, the video is all-encompassing and an important view for anyone involved in Data Security. The importance of the Vernon Crusher is the fact that when Disk Drive Destruction is the goal, the most common solution is a hammer, or as mentioned in the blog, explosives.

These Solutions destroy the Drive, but are Unsafe and not environmentally friendly.

The Vernon Crusher is specifically designed to destroy the drive and ensure that the data is gone forever. But Vernon Technology Solutions is committed to the environment and proper recycling techniques. Hard Drives Contain toxins and should not be tossed into  garbage bin.

But back to the Video.

Dave Webb was a gracious host to the clip, and Company President (then General Manager) Jim Drohan walks the viewer through all the details and then the crushing itself.

If you want further information after viewing the video please feel free to contact a Vernon Representative, or visit the website at www.vernoncrusher.ca

Data Security is a very real concern, and disk destruction can be very important, but there are better methods then using a Hammer!

We would love to hear your feedback on the video and any questions that you would like answered in the future. 

In a previous blog the many different Samsung LFD monitors were broken down into many different series, including CX, DX, MX, MP, UX, TS.

These codes represent the many different capacities and capabilities of each monitor.

An important note is that each series also have a networked version that comes with a built in PC, which adds an “n” to the end of the code. (For example: CXn) To discuss both monitors at once a common shorthand is per example CX(n).

The built in PC has a 4 gig flash hard drive, 512 RAM, a Graphics card and is running Windows XPe.

 

CX(n)

The Consumer entry level LFD monitor: This monitor comes with built in Speakers and TV Tuner and meant for 15 hours per day usage. These Monitors are great for viewing in a resturant, bar, or office environment.

MX(n) - MP(n)

 The Multi-Purpose entry level LFD monitor: This monitor is similar to the CX(n) but it does not have the TV Tuner built in. This monitor is to present your materials exclusively. These Monitor can be used almost anywhere you want to get peoples attention.

DX(n)

 The Deluxe high end LFD Monitor: This monitor is the high end version of the MX(n). These Monitors are crisper, clearer, and meant for almost 24/7 use. It is perfect for use in Hotels, Airports, and all other 24/7 locations where downtime is kept at a minimum.

UX(n)

 The Ultra-Slim high end LFD Monitor. This monitor top notch and also much slimmer then the average Monitor. These monitors are truly a sight to behold, and make a great impression on people in any location. They also are perfect for building the Samsung ID or Matrix, which will be discussed in further blogs: STAY TUNED

TS(n)

The Touch Screen LFD Monitor: A high quality monitor similar to that of the CX(n) or the MX(n). This is a higher end touch screen model meant for 15 hours a day use. These are amazing for getting peoples attention and drawing a crowd. These are wonderful for use in a mall, as advertisements, or any place that you want to bring people in. This is some of the newest and most exciting technology.

So this is the basic introduction. Much more detail on the various series and monitors is yet to come and stay tuned for information about the Samsung ID.

 

Vernon Technology Solutions has partnered up with Samsung and as such has a whole new variety of products for rent, lease, or purchase.

Among the many Samsung products, Vernon Technology Solutions is focusing on the Large Format Display Monitors.

The full array of monitor options is not a small one. Samsung provides many different types of Display monitors to ensure that you can have the product that best fits your need. The Samsung LFD monitors are great for any location.

If you want a Bright, Visible, and impact making Display monitor, this is what you want. Different designs allow for best usage in many locations including:

Mall Advertising, Airports, Stadiums, Casinos, resturants, Advertisement blocks, Vending Machines, and much more.

As a blogger, I look at that list and ask why all this matters. The answer is that these displays come in many different lines in order to be best suited to any situation.

At the end of the day, the creativity is endless and you are the architect of your dream, but with the range of options and capabilities, Samsung products offered through Vernon Technology Solutions can ensure that you get the best equipment for the job.

This blog is just the first to introduce the details of the many different Samsung LFD monitors. Within the product line are a variety of types of monitors.

Further Blogs will discuss the range including the CX, DX, MX, MP, UX, TS.

STAY TUNED: A blog in the near future will describe what each of these different LFD Series Monitors has to offer.

Think hard disk crushing sounds excessive?

The title to an article posted on BBC News on the 12th of January 2009 posits:
Hard Drive Destruction ‘Crucial’”.

 

The Article can be found at the following link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7816446.stm.
To summarize;  the article introduces by discussing a recent discovery in the “Which? Computing” Magazine that using free recovery software, more then 20 000 files were recovered from 8 computers purchased on e-Bay, after quote unquote deletion. The magazine posits that criminals can source old computers from Internet auction sites or in the trash and a lot of information can be recovered if not destroyed completely.

There are softwares for ensuring destruction, but the most straight forward solution according to the “Which? Computing” is a hammer.

Destruction of drives with a hammer requires a lot of caution and is not a wonderful idea as a hard drive contains many toxic materials which can be released when the drive is smashed.
And even then, there are expensive and sophisticated softwares that can even read the drive off of a partially damaged hard drive platter.

Vernon Technology Solutions has a more civilized, safer, envionmentally friendly, and more effective solution.

Enter the Vernon Hard Disk Crusher. Please feel free to browse the website at www.vernoncrusher.com. The Vernon Hard Disk Crusher drills through the spindles and creates ripples in the platter to ensure that it is impossible to ever retrieve the data.
Vernon Technology Solutions is also committed to be enviornmentally friendly and will ensure proper recycling and disposal of all materials toxic and otherwise.

The end of the BBC article quotes Rupert Goodwins, the editor of ZDNet, saying, “…if you’re that worried, get rid of it properly: burn it or put it in acid.” Once again, this will work, but the solution posed by Vernon Technology Solutions is much safer for you and the environment.

For any questions, please give a call to a Vernon Technology Solution Representative nearest you.
