What are NITS and IP Rating?

What Is the Difference Between Indoor and Outdoor Digital Menu Boards?

Outdoor screens differ from indoor screens primarily in brightness (NITS) and environmental protection (IP rating). Outdoor screens are built to remain visible in direct sunlight and to withstand exposure to water and dust.

  • Brightness (NITS): Outdoor digital menu boards are built with significantly higher NIT ratings than indoor displays, making them legible in direct sunlight.
  • IP Rating (Ingress Protection): The IP rating indicates what environmental conditions a display is built to withstand, including moisture, rain, and airborne dust — a critical specification for any outdoor installation. Outdoor screens require a higher IP rating than indoor screens.
