Modern LED televisions might be more expensive when you buy them, but are cleaner, more energy-efficient and last longer.&nbsp;Modern TVs can often be programmed to turn on and off at specific times, so they don&#8217;t stay on outside office hours.&nbsp;Nowadays, a new screen is a lot more durable than a few years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind what you really need, though.&nbsp;A larger screen consumes more energy compared to a smaller model, but&nbsp;the size of your screens also affects whether people see your message at all.&nbsp;A small screen may thus seem cheaper and more durable, but if it is too small you might not benefit from it at all. If you must replace hardware after a year because it doesn\u2019t fit your needs, it will only have an adverse effect on your ecological footprint.&nbsp;When purchasing a television, do not opt \u200b\u200bfor a screen that is larger than necessary, but don\u2019t go for a screen that is too small either.&nbsp;To compensate for the energy consumption of larger screens, you can still reduce power consumption to a minimum in other areas, for example, by choosing the extremely compact and efficient&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.netpresenter.com\/knowledge-center\/platform\/budget-friendly-digital-signage-intel-compute-stick\">Intel Compute Stick for your digital signage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-hardware-that-you-already-have\"><strong>Use hardware that you already have<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you don&#8217;t need any new screens at all.\u00a0With the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netpresenter.com\/employee-communication-platform\">all-in-one communication platform<\/a> by Netpresenter you can also reach your employees via their PC (via the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.netpresenter.com\/employee-communication-platform\/tools\/corporate-screensaver\">corporate screensaver<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.netpresenter.com\/employee-communication-platform\/tools\/desktop-alerts\">desktop alerts<\/a>\u00a0) or their\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.netpresenter.com\/employee-communication-platform\/tools\/employee-app\">mobile phone<\/a>.\u00a0By using those channels, you\u2019ll spread your message just as efficiently, without having to purchase new devices.\u00a0Computers and devices that are already switched on, are\u00a0used more efficiently with Netpresenter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netpresenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/screensaver-recycle-en-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-33471\" src=\"https:\/\/www.netpresenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/screensaver-recycle-en-1.jpg\" alt=\"sustainable digital signage\" width=\"1619\" height=\"1080\"><\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spread-a-green-message\"><strong>Spread a green message!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Digital signage is also an interesting way for companies committed to sustainable entrepreneurship to inform and raise awareness among staff. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4492928\/\">Studies show<\/a>&nbsp;that ongoing training is much more effective than a one-off training.&nbsp;We already see a lot of companies spreading important security regulations or cyber security reports using digital signage, but a \u2018green\u2019 message can be spread in just the same way.&nbsp;By teaching your staff energy-saving behavior, you ultimately do more good than harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to know more about making your business communication more sustainable or about sustainable digital signage, please do not hesitate to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netpresenter.com\/talk\">contact<\/a>&nbsp;one of our employees.
