INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION TIPS - PLEASE READ:

•
With ample interior space behind your TV, after installation, you can house most media players, cable boxes,
amplifiers or any other A/V equipment desired within The Display Shield enclosure. This not only opens up
other outdoor A/V opportunities
,
but it provides that equipment the same unmatched protection as your TV.
•
The Display Shield is designed to be used in conjunction with a TV wall mount, ceiling mount or any other mount
using a
400x400mm
VESA
standardized mounting pattern
(external mount sold
separately
)
. Upon successful
installation, The
Display Shield
should be “sandwiched” between
the back of the display and the
separately

mount
.

Make
s
ure the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached hardware
and components

BEST OUTDOOR MOUNTING PRACTICES
If you are mounting your unit in an outdoor environment, we have come up with some best practices to reduce the glare
and to give you the best viewing of your TV or monitor.
•
Purchasing an enclosure with anti-glare or installing our anti-glare front panel will reduce the glare to an extent, but does not
eliminate it.
•
Mount The Display Shield® in an area that does not get direct sun if possible.
•
If mounting in direct sun or in an area that gets a lot of sun, it is best if you have some type of backdrop in front of The
Display Shield®. E.g.
,
if you can mount the enclosure where there is a wall in front of it, trees, bushes or any other darker
objects, it will help with reflection.
•
Use a tilting and swiveling mount as you may be able to angle the enclosure in different directions to reduce the amount of
glare or reflection while watching.
•
Depending on your monitor’s options, change the picture mode (in the settings menu) to dynamic and/or adjust the contrast,
brightness, sharpness and color.
