The location is not near bright light sources, such as windows or strong
overhead lighting.
Light sources can cause glare on the display's screen, reducing its visibility.
TIP

l
specifications (see More information on page 19).

l
can flow away from it and the mounting equipment. SMART recommends at
least 2" (5 cm) of space on all sides of the display for proper airflow.
If you plan to install the display in a recessed area, there is at least 4" (10 cm) of
l
space between the display and the recessed walls to enable ventilation and
cooling.
