FAQ

Is LED or LCD better for outdoor and venue signage?

LED wins for venue and outdoor use. LED panels run 3 to 5 times brighter than LCD, connect bezel-free for wall-sized displays, and carry IP65+ weatherproof ratings, which is why Gigantic Signs has installed LED over LCD across Adelaide's hospitality and commercial venues since pioneering the technology in South Australia in the 2000s.

Are outdoor LED screens waterproof?

Quality outdoor LED screens carry an IP65 or higher weatherproof rating, built to handle Adelaide's rain, wind, dust and heat year round, and Gigantic Signs specifies this rating on every outdoor Gigantic Screens installation.
