Where to buy LED outdoor electronic display screens and how to choose them to be reliable?

2025-09-24 112

Let’s talk about the real thing first - the outdoor LED screens you have bought with a price of 3,000 or 5,000 are probably a pitfall! A friend of mine used to buy a screen called "waterproof and lightning-proof" with a cheap price, but the control card was burned in the first rain. Today I broke it apart and said, "Tell you to see through the tricks here."

Where to buy LED outdoor electronic display screens and how to choose them to be reliable?

​Let's talk about the purchase channel first​
Is it more reliable to buy online or offline? It depends on the specific needs. If you want to buy a store sign screen of three to five square meters, it will be easy to find a flagship store of a regular e-commerce platform. But if you are doing a large project of hundreds of square meters like a stadium, it is a serious way to go directly to the factory to inspect the goods.

There is a cold knowledge here: many manufacturers are 15%-20% more expensive online than offline. Why? Because we have to leave room for bargaining! Especially for engineering orders, face-to-face negotiation can save real money.


Five must-see parameters for buying outdoor screens

  1. ​Protection level​ ​: Start with IP65 (dustproof + water spray prevention)
  2. ​Brightness indicators​ ​: At least 5,500 nits on sunny days, and 3,000 nits on cloudy days
  3. ​Pixel spacing​ ​: Choose P10 when viewing 10 meters, and you need P6 or less within 5 meters.
  4. ​Heat dissipation structure​ ​: The aluminum box with heat dissipation fins has a lifespan of 3 times than the iron box
  5. ​Warranty Terms​ ​: Pay attention to whether the whole machine is insured or separately (the control card is most likely to be broken)

To give a negative example: a shopping mall bought a P20-pitch screen at a cheap price, but the customer station couldn't see the promotion information clearly at all on the second floor, so he had to dismantle and reinstall it. This money is more painful than buying a good screen directly!

There is a trick that talents in the industry know - find manufacturers with "Electronic Display Installation Qualifications", which generally have their own construction team. Don’t believe those who only sell screens and don’t care about installation. The later disputes can drive you crazy.


Three things to do before paying

  1. Let the manufacturer post a real-life video of the same model (focus on whether there are any color spots on the white screen)
  2. Check whether the CCC certification number corresponds to the display category (many use power certification to fool people)
  3. The contract states the fault response time (direct pass for home visiting for more than 24 hours)

I suffered a loss when I helped the hotel purchase last time, but the screen arrived on time, and the supporting control system required additional money. Now that I have learned it well, I have clearly listed the accessories list before signing the contract.


In the end, the editor thinks that buying an outdoor screen is like finding a partner - just looking at the appearance will lead to a loss, and it is reliable to find out the details. Those sellers who dare to show you real photos in the workshop and dare to let you inspect the factory at any time are more realistic than those who only send out detailed pictures. Remember, the price difference of Haoping has been made up for the repair fee three years later!
