Total cost of ownership (TCO) is determined by more than the purchase price.To find out how much a digital signage display will really cost you over its lifetime, you need to consider a number of elements:

• The initial purchase price including electronics and the display structure. 
• Built-in features that save you from having to purchase additional equipment. 
• Durability and maintenance ease. Christie products are designed and builit to last thanks to leading-edge technologies including DLP® technology, and features such as dust-sealed optics and optional dust and fog juice filters.
• The longevity of the consumables, such as lamps and air filters, and their cost over the lifetime of your projection display.
• Power consumption and cooling requirements, especially in 24/7 operations. Projection solutions that require little energy or cooling will save you money over the long term.
• Ongoing maintenance costs for the electronics. Components that can be readily accessed are usually the easiest and least expensive to service. 
• Service, support and warranties. Christie offers industry-leading warranties, services and support. You can choose different levels of support including the option for remote monitoring of your projection solution which can detect and help you prevent possible costly problems before they ever occur.
