Outdoor digital signage, information screens and outdoor TVs all use LCD displays. Little difference exists between a standard LCD screen used at home and an outdoor LCD display, except outdoor screens require protection from the weather and other outdoor elements to enable functionality in outdoor locations.
Many manufacturers now produce outdoor displays, thanks to the burgeoning outdoor digital signage market, but these outdoor TVs cost many times more than the price of standard indoor displays. This price often prohibits many businesses from using outdoor digital signage, providing outdoor information or entertaining customers with an outdoor TV.
Outdoor LCD Display Enclosure
Another method of utilizing an outdoor LCD display is to use standard device but protect it in LCD enclosure. Made to TV manufacturer’s standards, such as VESA (Video and Electronic Manufacturers Association), LCD enclosures come in a variety of sizes, enabling the housing of almost any make and model screen.
