Situation Room Wall Television Monitor (Broadcast Monitor)

A wall‑level, dark‑bezel television monitor that relays live news and official broadcasts into the Situation Room. The screen throws a cold, clinical glow across the conference table; images arrive as a grainy, authoritative feed of spoken statements and on‑screen graphics. Staff shift their posture toward the glass, voices quieting as the broadcast supplies a new datum. Buttons or integrated controls sit out of sight; the unit functions as an immediate, room‑facing window onto external media rather than a domestic appliance.
