Outdoor LED display has simply become essential to companies that are interested in offering relevant, easily updated information, notifications, and advertising.

But before you purchase an LED screen for your business, you need to be sure you’re making a well-informed investment. A good experience, a longer lifespan, and cheaper costs may all be achieved with careful planning for your displays, which is expected to survive at least 10 years.

The following important factors will help you choose the best outdoor LED display for your needs:

1. Product Quality

Products must be researched first, because offering competitive pricing and attentive service is meaningless without decent products. Checking the quality of products is therefore extremely important. We should fully understand and analyse everything from the raw material selection of LED display manufacturers to the level of manufacturing technology of personnel and innovative production equipment. Furthermore, in order to ensure product quality, we must thoroughly understand the product quality certification and production standards of the various companies.

2. Production Qualification Of The Companies

Shenzhen is home to numerous LED display producers, giving wholesalers around the world more and better alternatives. We cannot, however, just choose a supplier based on the knowledge we have gained from the Internet. If you want a thorough knowledge of the inquiry, stay away from tiny workshops. If you can't find out in person, you should first get in touch with the manufacturer to ask about the relevant production qualification, get the paperwork proving the qualification, and double-check the information on the reliable website to make sure the enterprise's production qualification is legitimate. Additionally, it guarantees the quality of the goods they sell.

3. Visual Quality

Outdoor signage is meant to draw the attention of passersby and communicate a message about your brand. The vividness of the image has a significant impact on how that message is received. Your outdoor LED signage should be bright and vibrant, and it should display colors accurately. Skin tones that look washed out, for example, will draw negative attention, so check the LED supplier spec sheet to be sure the display shows true-to-life color.

Another key spec to consider is the pixel pitch, or the space between the RGB pixels. It’s important you choose a vendor that will specify the right pixel pitch for the viewing distance. Over-specifying the pitch may cost more, but if the pixel pitch is too large, it may lower the visual quality.

Establishing an outdoor LED signage solution can be a daunting task with many moving parts — and concerns about visual quality, cost, safety and reliability. Starting with these eight tips in mind, you’ll be prepared to ask the right questions and set your project up for success.

4. Maintence, Servicing and Successful Track Record

Once your outdoor screen is up and running, routine maintenance and servicing is critical to ensuring your sign always looks great and will last as long as possible. Ask your vendor how often calibration is required — and how easy it is to accomplish — to ensure consistent image quality for years to come.

Likewise, ask how the screen will be serviced. To avoid screen downtime, services will need easy access. Some vendors, like Samsung, also offer a network operations center (NOC) option to constantly monitor your sign and send a technician to fix any issues, before you may even be aware of them.

To ensure you get the best outdoor LED display possible, ask for references and referrals from their previous customers, especially for jobs done five or more years ago, to get insight into the provider’s integrity.

5. Technical R&D Capabilities

LED displays are electronic devices. If the manufacturer has an independent research and development team, the products produced will have a unique competitive advantage in the market, agent wholesalers will also have a unique product advantage, will make them more competitive in the market. On the contrary, manufacturers without independent research and development ability can only produce large quantities of products in the market, serious product homogenization and weak product competitiveness, which will also have a negative impact on sales.

6. Price and Warranty

You may be tempted to choose the least expensive LED signage option, but you’re likely to get what you pay for. Low-cost suppliers use lower-quality LEDs not military-grade components. Their design teams may not ensure the safety and longevity of your signage. And they may under-specify the screen’s performance to lower the cost. Many signage suppliers offer a warranty, but check the fine print to make sure you understand the exceptions. Here’s where you may be better off going with a trusted brand, even if it costs a bit more.

7. Know Who Your Manufacturer is

When choosing your manufacturer, I will argue that you are not just buying an LED screen but you are investing in the company itself. Your purchase should induce the company\'s reliability, craftsmanship, and superior service to you. Ideally, you want a company that will guide you through the process of planning, installing, and servicing your new LED screen solution.

8. Brand Recognition

In the modern market, the competition between enterprises is not only for products, but also for brands. Wholesalers will come into contact with some well-known brands in the LED display industry when they understand the market. Knowing the influence of these big brands in the market, you will find that the attraction of famous brands to customers is immeasurable. Some customers choose your product just for the brand. Therefore, the brand influence of enterprises or products is also an important reference for choosing cooperative manufacturers.
