1. The aera of deployment and environment
   Where and under which conditions will the device operate? What are the environemental factors it may suffer from? A display mounted in a railway station must be suited to withstand dust and extreme termperatures without distrubances;

3. The Hardware
   Displays for commercial usage must be build upon high-quality components. Only this ensures a long live-cycle without failures. Consider that those displays are often operation 24 hours a day during 7 days per week. A possibiltiy to power them up and down remotely may be a useful option.

5. The guarantee
   A guarantee to suit the particular commercial requirements. It should cover a operating time of a least three years in all operating modes.
