“It’s mainly about sunlight intensity and installation angle.”
Outdoor LED screens need high brightness to remain visible in real daylight conditions.
Most commercial outdoor systems use:
- 6000–8000 nits for standard roadside billboards
- Higher brightness for direct south-facing installations
- Lower brightness only for shaded or semi-outdoor areas
AV installers often say showroom brightness tests are misleading because real street environments always reduce contrast.
