I'd like to talk about back light unit in NCR replacement/refurbishment monitor today.
Until recently, all back light unit, whether it was used in NCR monitor, computer monitor or TV, was CCFL type.
Now, the new trend is demanding LED type and I'm sure you've all seen the commercial or read a magazine where latest LED screen is introduced.
Yes, they are mostly TV screens but the demand for LED type in NCR replacement/refurbishment industry has been slowly increasing as well.
So what are some advantages LED has over CCFL? Let's take a look.
1. LED type is mercury free, which means it is more environment friendly.
2. Excellent performance under low temperature resulting in "High-Brightness", "Quick kick-off
Brightness", and "Brightness uniformity".
3. LED type doesn't need a high voltage component, meaning it doesn't need an inverter.
4. Unlike CCFL type, LED lighting component is semi-permanent.
5. LED type has lower power consumption.
6. LED type is powered on immediately whereas CCFL type needs up to 30 mins.
7. LED type is much more slim.
8. Color reproduction range is much wider. 100-110% for LED type, 78-80% for CCFL type.
9. Produces much less heat.
And if you have been buying from AUO or LG, you would have noticed they're introducing more and more LED type panels as well.
Well, I hope this post helped you like my other posts.
If you need to buy every type of industrial/TV panels, please contact me.
See you in a few days.

Who makes NCR replacement/refurbishment monitors?
OK, so who or which companies make NCR replacement/refurbishment monitor?
Not many companies do and it's a small market dominated by small group of companies.
Obviously, GDS is a famous one and No. 1 choice for buyers that look for quality NCR LCD screens from a reliable supplier.
Almost all of the NCR refurbishment monitor suppliers buy from Chinese factories because they're simply so much cheaper than everyone else.
I honestly wonder what kind of panels they use to offer such a low price even though they're used in SB(Standard Bright) monitors.
Chinese monitors may be good enough for SB standard but they have their weakness.
They simply don't have the technology to make NCR ATM HB(High Bright) monitor. They just can't make a HB monitor with brightness over 1500 nit without problems.
Chinese HB monitor is the old CCFL-type that is bound to have heat problem with brightness as high as 1200 nit or higher even if it's a high quality monitor.
But Chinese CCFL HB monitor is very poor in quality so it either breaks down immediately or it inevitably shows signs of damage within a year. That is why all credible banks and buyers alike chose GDS HB monitors in my opinion.
I believe GDS's NCR HB monitor(G0800016) is CCFL-type with 1500 nit but it is very well made and coupled with the fact GDS is a reputable company which offers excellent after-sales-service make it a No. 1 choice for buyers who demand high-quality NCR/Wincor/Diebold monitors.
Anyway, I must say with confidence that the company I'm working for now makes a better quality NCR monitor than GDS. Ours is LED-type with 1800 nit.
The only problem is because of all these cheap Chinese SB/HB monitors, it is very hard to convince buyers to buy our monitors.
Oh, well, so much for highly advanced LED-type NCR ATM monitor.

Different panels used in making NCR replacement/refurbishment monitor
Many different panels from variety of brands can be used to make NCR replacement/refurbishment monitor.
The panels I used are LG and AUO panels.
LG and AUO are as you know 2 very famous global companies from South Korea and Taiwan.
While their panels are relatively cheap compared to others, they are very good in quality.
Other panels that I used are Samsung, Mitsubish, and Toshiba.
All of them are much more expensive than LG and AUO panels, especially Japanese brands.
While they are very good panels, they simply ate into the company's profit margin and I simply couldn't use them after some time.
In choosing panels, the most import things to consider are price and quality.
You must find good quality panels at a price you want so that you make your targeted profit and it simply isn't an easy job since every panel supplier based in a country of the panel maker has such a big advantage in getting them at a cheap price than those in a foreign country.
That is why you need many lines of suppliers to compare prices and in case of an emergency.
Anyway, if you need to find LG/AUO panels, please e-mail me(you can find my e-mail address in the policy post) and if you do e-mail me, kindly give me your target price.
Thank you and see you in a few days.

Key NCR replacement/refurbishment components
In this post, I'm going to discuss what I think are the key components in making NCR replacement/refurbishment monitor.
First and foremost, a panel.
OK, I can't emphasize enough on this.
The cheaper you can get an A-grade or A minus grade panel, the better.
I used A-grade LG and AUO panels for all my NCR monitors.
Do note that there is a solid price difference between A-grade and A minus grade even though most buyers use A minus grade.
In retrospect, I regret having used A-grade panels as they're expensive and naturally they ate up some of my margin.
I was taught by my superior that I must use A-grade panel but as I learned ABC of the business I noticed it really doesn't make any difference whatsoever if I used A-grade or A minus.
So, yeah, I highly suggest you use A minus panels whenever you can.
But there is a problem to finding A minus grade panels.
It is near impossible to find AUO A-minus panels unless you have inside connection.
As for LG panels, it is still very difficult, not nearly as hard as AUO if you live in South Korea.
And I do have connection even though I never used A-minus panels.
So if you need my help on finding A-minus LG panels, please e-mail me.
Second, a board that can work with NCR software.
The company I used to work for got NCR testing software from the company they supplied.
So this is something you can't do on your own.
Lastly, some electronic cables and etc.,
These things can be found anywhere and they're not really important if you can do the above 2 things.
OK, I hope you found what you're looking for in this post.
In my next post, I will be talking more in detail on the variety of panels.

8.4" and 12.1" NCR replacement/refurbishment monitor
NCR replacement/refurbishment monitors come in many different sizes(inches) and I’m going to discuss the sizes(inches) I’ve sold.
I have sold 3 sizes, 8.4”, 12.1” and 15”, both NB(normal brightness) and HB(high brightness or sunlight readable).
To my knowledge and based on my experience, 8.4” and 12.1” were popular and very good sellers among my buyers.
I would say 8.4” is a tad bit more popular than 12.1”.
I had a bit of a problem with 15” and eventually stopped making them.
The price difference between NB monitor and HB monitor is huge. HB monitor is more than twice as expensive as the NB monitor.
Every buyer is different and some would just take what I offer and some would request slight modifications.
For example, some buyers will ask to add a bracket on the back of a monitor or bezel on the front cover of a monitor.
But while it takes about a week to do the job, it really isn’t difficult to do.
The important things are the quality of the panel, and a board that can work with NCR program.
In my next post, I will discuss the components that make up NCR replacement monitor.

Sunlight readable NCR replacement/refurburbishment monitor
I’m going to discuss 2 different types of NCR replacement/refurbishment monitors.
Please note that the terms I will be using are mostly used in Korea.
First one is known as normal brightness NCR replacement monitor.
Its brightness, otherwise known as “nit”, typically ranges from 250nit to 400nit.
Second one is known as high brightness(sunlight readable or viewable elsewhere) NCR replacement monitor.
Why are they called sunlight readable is because some ATMs are installed outside and people must be able to read the screen without any difficulties to make money transactions.
Its brightness is at least over 1000nit and some are even over 1500nit.
It is known that unless you have a specific equipment that can measure the exact nit of a monitor, naked human eye cannot tell a difference between 1000nit monitor and higher ones.
To my knowledge, every buyer that I know of from all over the world has never asked the exact brightness of the monitor. And I also knew that most other NCR replacement monitor suppliers including GDS used 1200nit monitor.
Sunlight readable monitors I sold were at least 1500nit and some were even 1800nit.
But I highly doubt if my buyers even cared for the sole purpose of sunlight readable monitors is for people to read the monitor under the sunlight without difficulties.
And I figured 1200nit monitor is just as good as 1500nit or 1800nit monitor if other suppliers have been selling it.
In my next post, I will discuss the specific sizes NCR replacement monitors come into, which inch(size) model is popular and which isn’t.
Hope you find this post interesting.

2010 and 2011 will be very good for NCR/Diebold/Wincor replacement monitor suppliers/buyers
2010 and 2011 will be very good for NCR/Diebold/Wincor replacement/refurbishment monitor suppliers and buyers as now is the time for banks to replace monitors in ATMs.
t happens about every 5 years and as you know, NCR is the market leader so it is a golden opprotunity for those in the business.
Buyers who have contacted me last year and since remained partners almost tripled their quantities and it goes to show the potential of the market for the next 2 years.
GDS is well known for manufacturing NCR replacement/refurbishment monitors and many buyers from all over the world buy from them.
Now it is important, even for replacement monitors, to be certified(please note it is mandatory for some buyers while some won't care), it is exactly what GDS provides. They're well known and reliable.
But as it is in every other business, buyers will always try to find cheaper product with similar quality and I've worked for a company in South Korea where we specialized in manufacturing NCR replacement/refurbishment monitors.
I'm not going to go into details how the company I used to work for started making NCR replacement monitors but they did a pretty good job and they have buyers from all over the world.
Anyway, in my next post in a few days, I will discuss the 2 kinds of NCR replacement monitors and their sizes and then I will go into what I think is key points in manufacturing NCR replacement monitors along with current market trend.
I'm sure my blog will be unique in that everyone in the business whether it is already an established company or you just got in the field, can benefit from my blog and what I have to offer.
Until then, good bye.
