“5000 nits sounds cool until you realize most indoor projects don’t need it.”
For indoor led poster displays, 800–1200 nits is usually enough. Semi-outdoor storefront windows often use 2500–3500 nits, while direct-sunlight dooh installations may require 5000+ nits.
Higher brightness also means:
-
More heat generation
-
Higher power consumption
-
More demanding thermal management
Project Insight: Most experienced buyers focus on brightness stability instead of peak brightness marketing numbers.
