The program enables proprietors to replace older and outdated CRT-type monitors with flatscreen LCDs, including new mounts — all without changing their existing scoring or management systems. Once in place, the monitors work with all of the latest scoring technologies on the market, thus eliminating the need to procure new monitors when purchasing new scoring in the future. To learn more about the LCD Monitor Replacement Program, call New Center Consulting at 248-375-2751, or contact your local Classic Products sales representative.
