Hey everyone,

Something I’ve been thinking about after a few recent installs are we putting too much focus on brightness (nits) when it comes to outdoor displays????

Don’t get me wrong, high brightness is important, especially in direct sunlight. But we’ve seen cases where even very bright screens still struggle because of glare, poor placement angles, or surrounding lighting conditions.

On the flip side, some slightly lower-brightness setups performed better just because they were positioned well or had better anti-glare treatment.

Feels like brightness gets all the attention in specs, but real-world visibility is a mix of multiple factors.

Curious how others approach this:

• Do you prioritize nits above everything else? (Important)
• How much does placement and environment factor into your decisions?
• Any real-world cases where brightness alone didn’t solve the problem?

Would be great to hear different perspectives from the field.
