One company for the whole job: we survey the rooms, source the healthcare TV from the Samsung or LG line, mount it on the wall or a bedside arm, set it up and take the old set away. We work around your census, one released room at a time.
Hospital TV quote
Patient-room TVs are quoted per project after the survey: TV model, mount, room count, haul-away and the hours each unit can give us. One company does the survey, the sets, the mounts, the install and the close-out photos.
The short answer
A hospital TV is a TV built for the patient room. The patient changes channels and volume from a pillow speaker on the bed rail. The settings are locked so they stay put. And it plugs into the hospital's TV system: Pro:Idiom for encrypted premium channels, LG Pro:Centric or the Epic MyChart Bedside app where the hospital runs them. A waiting-room screen is a different job. For that, see waiting room TV.
Patient-room TV checklist
Five answers. Out comes what the room needs, what we do, and what your vendors and IT do. Bring it to the survey.
Every item below applies to some rooms; tags show when.
Sets that fit
Pro:Idiom TV
Pro:Idiom is an encryption technology LG developed for hospitality, healthcare and other commercial TV, introduced in 2005. HBO, Showtime and ESPN require their HD channels to be encrypted where there's no set-top box. If your hospital carries them without set-top boxes, the sets have to decrypt Pro:Idiom.
The channel feed (HBO, ESPN and the rest) is encrypted with AES before it leaves the equipment rack.
The encrypted signal travels the hospital's existing distribution to each patient room.
A Pro:Idiom TV decodes the channel inside the set, so the room needs no set-top box.
Source: LG Business, "What is Pro:Idiom?". The headend and the channel lineup belong to your TV-system vendor. We make sure the sets we supply can decrypt what they send.
The sets we source
From the manufacturers' own spec pages, read November 8, 2026. Already standardized on a model, or buying through your own distributor? Tell us at the survey and we'll plan the install around it.

Comparing waiting-room screens too? Our best TVs for doctor's offices shortlist ranks 9 displays, these three included, on duty hours, warranty and lock-outs.
How a unit gets done
Patient rooms are never all empty at once, so we don't plan as if they were. The unit manager releases rooms; we do those and hand them back the same day.
We walk a sample of rooms with facilities and the unit manager: walls, outlets, data or coax, sightlines, what's on the headwall.
One room done first, then signed off by nursing, IT and the TV-system vendor before the rest are ordered.
Each morning the unit releases empty rooms. We do those, hand them back, and roll occupied rooms to the next visit.
Photos per room, logged against the room number, so the punch list is a list and not a walk.
Our healthcare work
We have no patient-room photos to show you yet, so here's what we do have: Upperline Health clinic waiting rooms from a multi-state rollout. Survey first, a site code per clinic, the outlet confirmed before a crew is booked, and close-out photos with no patients in frame. The full program is on our hospital digital signage page.
