Display sizes used in Behavioral and Psychiatric Hospitals

Understanding what display sizes used in behavioral and psychiatric hospitals is important, so that the relevant protection is provided to protect the patients from self-harm, working with the US Mental Health Department it seems they have standardized on LCD displays from 27” to 36”.

DOOH USA have over 18 months experience working closely with the US Mental Health Department Consultants to develop their non loop, anti ligature LCD TV enclosure that is specified by architects in new builds and extensions.

So why is this display sizes used in behavioral and psychiatric hospitals?

One of the main reasons, is that this range of displays are freely available and not a special order, neither are the protective TV housings. When a hospital plans a build one of the last things to consider is the location of the screen, this is why the displays are rarely larger than 46” in size. Not forgetting the lower cost for a smaller display and enclosure.
