Quick answer
What is outdoor digital signage?
Outdoor digital signage is any screen or LED display installed outside, from roadside billboards to drive-thru menus and storefront totems. It uses high-brightness panels of 2,500 nits or more, sealed weatherproof enclosures and active cooling, so content stays readable in direct sunlight and the hardware survives heat, rain and dust.
- 2,500–7,000+ nit brightness
- IP65-rated weatherproofing
- Auto-dimming at night
