Reliability

MTBF - TBA
Warranty 3 years

Pending

Protection — resettable input fuse, reverse-polarity protection, surge/load-dump clamping, and independently fused backlight and panel branches (a shorted backlight harness trips only that branch)
Thermal management — dual sensors driving graduated backlight power reduction at temperature extremes
Power-fail awareness — input monitoring giving early warning so the panel shuts down in a controlled, panel-safe sequence
Panel-protective sequencing — power/signal/backlight in the panel maker's exact order, guaranteed-off outputs during power-up, re-power lockout
Field-programmable panel support — up to five stored panel timing profiles plus a protected factory default and a boot-time selector.
Fail-safe service — dual firmware images, USB-C update in under a minute, block-verified, automatic fallback on interruption (is there USB-C?)
