COMMONly ASKED QUESTIONS

Below are answers to the most common questions we receive here at KniTec. If you have more questions, call or drop us a line.


DISPLAYS

Yes. If you use a non-commercial display in a commercial setting, it voids the warranty.. So, even if the display is faulty, you are still responsible for repairs or replacement. In addition, commercial grade TVs may have enhanced glass screens designed for less image retention issues. Another obvious difference is the lack of a TV tuner (that consumer models have built in). Lastly, Commercial TVs allow properties to lock-out guests from altering the TV settings and often have special features like volume limiters.

Pro Idiom is an encryption technology or use in the hospitality, healthcare, and commercial markets to ensure the security of HD digital and VoD (Video on Demand ) signals.

You do not need Pro Idiom if your property uses a Set Top Box (the box that receives your signal and pushes it out to the TV).

b-LAN is only necessary if you are using a system with SONIFI.

OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) TVs use self-illuminating individual pixels that offer no backlighting. This creates a slim, blur-free picture that can be dimmed for better contrast and create a true black. 

LED (Light Emitting Diode) TVs offer the fastest refresh rates (think gamers) and maximum brightness compared to OLED. It is also the most cost effective of the three. The biggest challenge for LED's is that the blacks look gray in dark areas

QLED (Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diode) TVs use the same LED-based backlighting technology with the addition of "quantum dots." These dots function like liquid crystal displays, providing only the color for each pixel. Advancements in recent years have improved QLED displays to the point where they may come very close to visually matching OLED panels.

We get asked this a lot, and it really depends on what you are mounting the display to, and what type of mobility you need. from there, we look at weight, security, and vesa pattern (the configuration of the four mounting holes on the back of display).

No. Every system is set up different and may be limited by previous infrastructure. That being said, Coaxial cable delivery still works, as does IP with nearly all displays.

Shipping

As a general rule, KniTec recommends placing your order 2-6 weeks in advance of your desired delivery date. Wile replacement units can ship same day, orders of 100+ units may vary due to weather, availability, etc.

Please reach out and we can give you a fairly accurate delivery date based on your order.

Typical freight time is 5-10 days. Once an order is placed, we will strive to secure and reserve your items so that once your invoice is paid, your order is released and will arrive as soon as possible.

If your mounts are available in the same warehouse as your display(s), then they will ship together. If they are coming from different locations, we will do our best to land them at the same time at your property.

KniTec has warehouses across the United States, and will locate your stock at the closest one to your location.

The KniTec headquarters is located in San Clemente, California.

You will be notified by email when your order has shipped with a copy of the shipment notification including tracking and carrier information. Please note that tracking information may not be available from the carrier until the day after shipment, or until the shipment hits its first hub.This order may be a partial shipment. If you are expecting additional items, the balance of your order should be shipping shortly.


Receiving

Upon delivery, please inspect the external packaging for signs of damage. For example: box crushed, punctured, torn, wet, dented or missing parts/items.

Signing for the receipt of the shipment implies the shipment was received in pristine condition.

Returns

If items in your order arrive damaged, we advise you to NOT ACCEPT the damaged items or boxes. This way you do NOT accept a new problem. We will work with you to get replacements ASAP and advocate
for YOU. We will also make the return process as easy as it can be.

In the event that your order is damaged (minor or major) any holes, tears, cuts, etc. should be noted by writing the words "DAMAGED and the item" on the POD or refusing the item and contacting your sales rep or customer service. For example: “Damaged LCD”, “Damaged Screen” or “Damaged Projector”. Please be as detailed as possible in your description of the damage, as opposed to simply noting “damaged”. Please avoid writing “subject to inspection”, “possible damage” or “box damage”. None of these state specific damage & such notations are considered invalid to the carriers. If there are items missing from your order you must write "ORDER INCOMPLETE" as well as what is missing from the order, on the POD. Keep all boxes and original packaging as photos of boxes are required for a concealed damage claim submission. Inspect the units upon arrival. Concealed damage must be reported within 30 days of shipment (this includes delivery time). Manufacturers defects must be reported within 30 days for replacement. Outside of 30 days, manufacturers defects will fall under warranty repairs. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at 866-469-7111 or CustomerService@Knitec.com.
