That would be just a monitor, wouldn't it? I thought most of these were just monitors with devices vesa mounted on the back...

Some of them are more like a giant, non-touch-screen tablets than monitors.

This probably just has this image saved into memory, and they can easily make it display something else.

Is the image burning into the screen not a concern on these though?

[-] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 month ago

This displays often are not static, often displaying short video ads for seasonal items which take up the whole monitor.

Probably less than the burn-in of a taskbar or window header

Reminds me of our old typing PC with the WordPerfect header and footer burned into the orange phosphor

That colour had a smell, like a library.
