Are you looking for full-color outdoor LED display screens for use near rivers and seas? You need to consider not only the display effect, quality and service as conventional outdoor LED screens. You may also need to pay special attention to the adaptability of LED screens in special environments.
Since the seaside and riverside have high requirements for the corrosion resistance, you need to consider more:
- Waterproofness
- wind resistance
- UV resistance etc;
SightLED will introduce in detail the key factors.

ToggleKey factors to consider when purchasing outdoor LED display near rivers and seas
Humidity
Humidity is one of the factors that has the greatest impact on outdoor LED display screens in seaside and riverside environments. If the LED screen is not specially treated, excessive humidity will cause the PCB board, power supply, power cord and other components of the LED display screen to be oxidized and corroded, resulting in failures. Therefore, when purchasing a display screen, you need to pay attention to the following points:
Anti-corrosion treatment of PCB board
Since the PCB board is one of the core electronic components of the LED display screen, we need to pay extra attention to its anti-corrosion treatment. Top LED display manufacturers, such as SightLED will perform additional anti-corrosion treatment on PCB boards during the production process. For example, anti-corrosion materials such as three yellow paint are applied on its surface to improve its corrosion resistance.
Selection of power supply and power cord
The quality of power supply and power cord directly affects the stability and service life of the LED display. In humid environments such as the seaside and the riverside, we will choose special power supplies and power cords with good moisture resistance and corrosion resistance.
Protection of welding points
If you use a conventional iron cabinet, you may also need to pay special attention to the welding points because it is the most easily corroded part of the display. When you are purchasing outdoor display for sea, you need to pay special attention to the protection of welding points. SightLED uses a die-cast integrated cabinet, which greatly reduces the number of welding points, and will perform special protection treatment on the welding points, such as coating anti-corrosion paint, using sealant, etc., to improve its corrosion resistance.
Anti-rust treatment of the frame
If your screens are column type, you also need to consider the corrosion of the supporting frame. In humid environments such as the seaside and the riverside, general conventional frames are prone to rust. Therefore, you need to choos frame treated with rust prevention, such as stainless steel or galvanized.

Wind force
Due to the strong wind in the seaside and the riverside environments, the installation project and use stability of outdoor LED screens require extra attention. You need to pay attention to the following points:
Do a good force analysis
Before installing the outdoor LED screen, please conduct a detailed force analysis and fully consider the impact of wind. Based on the analysis results, we can recommend installation methods and fixings, so that the LED screen can remain stable in strong winds.
Choose the right installation method
Based on the force analysis results and the specific installation environment. You can use common installation methods including: wall-mounted
- Hanging
- embedded, etc.
Due to strong winds, we recommend choosing hanging or embedded installation methods to improve the wind resistance of the LED display screen.
Strengthen the selection of fixings
We should choose fixings with reliable quality, such as stainless steel or galvanized.
Ultraviolet rays
In addition, due to the strong ultraviolet rays in the seaside and riverside, it is easy to cause the surface of the LED screen to age and reduce its service life. Therefore, when you are purchasing an outdoor display, you also need to pay attention to the following points:
Choose excellent mask materials
The mask material directly affects the anti-ultraviolet ability of the display. When purchasing LED display, you should choose a mask material with excellent anti-ultraviolet ability, such as anti-ultraviolet PC material.
Strengthen the protection of the mask
In addition to choosing excellent mask materials, you can also take other measures to strengthen the protection of the mask. For example, apply an anti-ultraviolet coating on the surface of the mask to improve its anti-ultraviolet ability.
Water ingress
Due to the high humidity in the seaside and riverside, and the presence of water sources such as waves and rain, you also need to pay extra attention to the waterproof performance of the outdoor display.
Choose high protection level
The protection level is one of the important indicators for measuring the waterproof performance of LED display. In environments such as the seaside and the riverside, you should choose no less than IP65 LED screen.
Take waterproof measures in all directions
In addition to choosing high protection level LED display screen, you also need to take waterproof measures in all directions. For example, waterproof strips, waterproof coatings, etc.
They are used to seal the back and sides of the display screen where water is easily ingress;
Waterproof connectors are used to waterproof the interfaces of the power cord and signal line of the display screen.
Viewing angle
In the seaside and the riverside, the viewing angle is usually relatively wide. Therefore, when purchasing a LED screen, you need to pay special attention to the choice of viewing angle.
Determine the main audience
Generally speaking, the viewing angle of outdoor LED displays is between 120-160. Before installing the LED display screen, you need to clarify who its main audience is. For example, is it tourism information displayed to tourists, or community announcements displayed to residents? Determine the requirements for the viewing angle of the LED screen according to the main audience.
Choose a suitable viewing angle range
Generally speaking, the viewing angle range of full-color outdoor LED displays has certain limitations in both the horizontal and vertical directions. in order to cover a wider audience range, we recommend choosing a 160-degree viewing angle LED display.
Consider the installation height and angle
In addition to choosing the appropriate viewing angle range, you also need to consider the installation height and angle. Depending on the installation environment, we need to adjust the installation height and angle to optimize its display effect and coverage.
Comprehensively consider other factors
In addition, you also need to comprehensively consider other factors:
- Brightness
- Contrast
- Color saturation, etc.
These factors will affect the display effect and audience experience. Therefore, when you are purchasing an outdoor LED display for the seaside, you need to consider these factors comprehensively.
Conclusion
In addition to considering the influencing factors of conventional outdoor LED screens, you need to pay special attention to factors such as humidity, wind, ultraviolet rays, water ingress and viewing angle.
