I need a monitor that I can put in the lobby airlock of our office building. It’s an environment where people enter through the outside door, and then enter the lobby proper through another door; this keeps the lobby temperature even in winter and summer. But the airlock (that’s what I call it) experiences wide temperature and moisture swings.

I’ve googled for rugged and/or outdoor monitors - but those are like six grand in price. I know I won’t be able to get the company to agree to that.

Am I overthinking this? Will a standard monitor withstand the environment I’ve described above?
