Why Consumer TVs Cost Hotels More in the Long Run
Why Consumer TVs Cost Hotels More in the Long Run
Lower price tags on retail TVs can be tempting, but most hotel owners don’t realize that consumer TVs are not built for hotel environments. In many cases, using them even voids the manufacturer’s warranty.
Consumer models aren’t designed for 24/7 use, don’t include hospitality television features like Pro:Centric® or Pro:Idiom®, and require manual setup in every room. Over time, those small savings disappear through extra labor, equipment replacements, and guest complaints.
The LG UK660H—available now through MDM Commercial, a leading hotel TV supplier—was engineered specifically for hotel TV systems and delivers the perfect balance between price and performance.
- Full Commercial Warranty Without Fine Print
Consumer TVs usually include a one-year warranty that’s void in hotel settings. The UK660H comes with a three-year commercial warranty from LG that protects your investment for the long term. - Built for Continuous Hospitality Use
Consumer TVs are designed for a few hours of daily use. The UK660H is made for 24/7 operation with commercial-grade components that reduce failure rates and maintenance costs—ideal for hospitality TVs across large properties. - Pro:Centric® and Pro:Idiom® Technology
The UK660H provides access to LG’s Pro:Centric® platform for centralized control, USB cloning, PMS integration, and customizable welcome screens. With Pro:Idiom® DRM, hotels are ready for secure content delivery and future IPTV upgrades. - Simplified Setup Across Every Room
Installers can configure one “master TV” and clone the settings to every other room using Pro:Centric® tools. This saves valuable labor time and ensures consistency across your hospitality televisions. - Guest-Ready Experience, Brand-Ready Design
From hotel-mode lockouts to custom welcome menus, the UK660H helps hotels maintain brand standards while improving the guest experience.
