There are many special occasions that require the use of computer monitors, such as outdoor, car wash shops, beverage processing, marine ships, and so on. These occasions often come into contact with water or a large amount of dust. The waterproof monitor or outdoor monitor is specially designed for such occasions.

The common commercial monitors can quickly break down in this environment and may also cause short circuits. However, rugged waterproof monitors which are usually made of industrial-grade LCD panels can work normally.

The weatherproof touchscreen monitor is perfect for use outdoors in any weather. It’s also ideal for use in factories, car washes, yachts, and many other applications.

The IP rating is an internationally accepted standard to describe the capability the waterproof monitors to protect themselves from damage. It is also called international protection rating or ingress protection and it is used to define the level of the enclosure of the monitor that prevents foreign matters from entering the interior of the product, such as solids and liquids.

Normally, there are two numbers with IP, such as IP65, IP67, IP68, etc. The bigger the number, the higher the protection level. The first number which is from 1 to 6 defines the protection level for solids. The second number which is from 1 to 9 defines the protection level for liquids.

For outdoor monitors or waterproof monitors, IP65 is the basic level.

There are many factors that you need to consider when you want to choose a suitable outdoor waterproof monitor for your application. Screen brightness is one of the most important factors. The higher the screen brightness, the higher the unit price. For indoor applications, the brightness can be around 250 nits, but for plenty of outdoor LCD digital signage, the displays need to be sunlight readable, and screen brightness needs to be over 1000 nits.

Our high-brightness weatherproof monitor can be over 10 times brighter than the standard LCD screen. The range can be from 200 nits to 3000 nits. The most important thing is that we can customize the brightness of the screen. If necessary, we can change the backlight system of the LCD panel to increase screen brightness. Meanwhile, we can ensure that you get sharp, clear images in daylight.

For small monitors, for example, if the size is less than 24”, we commonly use the resistive touch screen and capacitive touch screen to make the waterproof monitor. The resistive device only supports a single touch point. The capacitive device can support from single touch points to multi-touch points. One of the significant advantages of resistive panels and capacitive panels is they are frameless. This feature is very important for panel mount monitors.

For large outdoor weatherproof touch monitors which a size exceeding 65”, the IR touch screen is the only choice. There is no available resistive panel or capacitive panel that a size larger than 65”. However, the size of the IR panel can be custom.

Yes, sure. We are the manufacturer. Custom functions and requirements are available. By default, the function of a waterproof monitor is a PC monitor. However, we use different control boards to change the functions.

Apart from the PC monitor, the digital signage, kiosk, and all-in-one PC are all available. The digital signage with an outdoor waterproof monitor can be used to play advertisements to attract customers. It’s very helpful to improve your business.
