Best Outdoor Digital Signage for Churches

Below we will deep dive and look behind the scenes of outdoor digital signage options. To make wise decisions about placing electronics like TVs or digital signs outside or inside and protect them from tampering, it is important to understand materials used for weatherproof or tamper protection, functionality of options like outdoor rated signs compared to outdoor display enclosures, and more.

Outdoor Digital Sign vs Outdoor Digital Signage Enclosure

Indoor and Outdoor Digital Signs –

Due to the nature of and design of outdoor digital displays, they address some but not all the concerns for putting a digital sign outside. An outdoor digital display is typically a basic bare-bones digital display (without bells and whistles) in an integral casing to assist with water resistance. Essentially this means consumers end up usually investing in expensive low-tech digital signs and miss out on the newest features. They usually allow for insulation against the cold and allow airflow to reduce humidity. However, unfortunately, the quality of the TV and the picture is often compromised. In addition, if things go wrong which they are known to do - especially since these signs are outdoors - it’s very hard to fix electronics which are inside an integral casing. They can also be extremely expensive to repair on top of giant price tickets to purchase in the first place.

Outdoor digital signs do tend to stand up well against theft since they can be difficult to remove from the wall. However, they typically won’t fare so well against high impact such as flying objects during storms, vandalism, and the like because the display screen is breakable glass and not protected behind an enclosure. The materials used to build outdoor TVs and digital signs just don’t stand up to the strength and durability of outdoor enclosures. Think of cell phones and their need for cell phone cases. The electronics just aren’t built to last without protection. Again, it is also an important consideration that outdoor digital displays do tend to cost considerably more for less features and benefits. Weatherproof digital signage comes with an eye-watering price tag for signs that don’t offer full impact resistance.

Indoor and Outdoor Digital Signage Enclosures –

The best outdoor digital signage enclosure options on the other hand, address all outdoor digital display threats by creating a fit-for-purpose enclosure. These cabinets are weatherproof and durable. They prevent water entry, ensure airflow to reduce moisture intrusion, and insulate against extreme temperatures. They are made with materials and design engineering that just can’t be achieved with regular TVs and displays. Another benefit is that you can put any TV or digital display you like in it (high tech, low cost, you name it) or even add and protect additional media players like Apple TV, Roku, or Amazon Fire Sticks (which outdoor digital displays cannot protect). The materials used to produce quality outdoor TV cabinets such as The Display Shield offer 20+ year durability. They are also designed to be opened and closed. This means you can access the TV or media players inside with ease. And, with shatterproof front panels, they are protected all times even while viewing.

These enclosures are also popular for indoor use where it is helpful to protect TV and display investments from potential tampering or theft. Touch screen variations of these enclosures are popular too, which offers protection for indoor or outdoor touch screen digital signage.
