[OPLINTECH] LCD monitors on patron computers

[Mann, James H.]

We at Greene County have had flat screen monitors on our OPACs since 2000, and flat screens on the service desks since maybe 2001. In that time we have had only 1 child write on one with a magic marker (which cleaned off) and a few instances of cables coming loose when staff try to rotate the monitors to show patrons information. IMHO as prices drop they become a realistic alternative, they do indeed take up less space, and do make a statement to the public.

	Has anyone deployed LCD monitors to your public access computers?  If so, how much of a beating do they take?  Also, how often do you find that you have to have them repaired and/or replaced due to screen damage?

	Thanks!
