Complete Guide to Screen Brightness
For your screens to be seen, they must be set to the correct brightness setting. This article will tell you everything you need to know to get this right.
Your screen’s light exposure will dictate the brightness settings you use. This article will set some guidelines to follow when deciding your brightness settings.
Generally speaking, the type of light that digital signage screens are exposed to falls into two categories.
For indoor screens, the lighting will typically be consistent throughout the day. A rule of thumb is that darker rooms require screens with lower brightness, and vice-versa.
If the indoor lighting changes throughout the day, use the adaptive lighting setting on your screen to enable your screen to change brightness automatically.
Direct sunlight can dramatically impact the visibility of your screens. This is prevalent for standard screens, as even the highest brightness setting will not stop the screen from appearing extremely dark.
If you are placing a screen in direct sunlight (i.e outdoors or in a window), we highly recommend using a High-Bright Screen. The design of high-bright screens enable them to show content clearly even when exposed to direct sunlight.
Given their popularity, we make sure to always have them in stock. Please contact us if this solution interests you.
It’s worth noting that brighter screens use more energy, therefore we recommend lowering your brightness where possible to limit your energy consumption. Adaptive and automated lighting features on your screen are a great way to optimise your screen brightness in any given environment.
