Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 21.5" 1000 nits monitor sunlight readable?
Yes. A 1000 nits high-brightness display is designed to provide improved visibility in high ambient light and outdoor environments. Actual outdoor visibility also depends on factors such as direct sunlight angle, viewing angle, surface treatment and installation conditions.
Is 1000 nits enough for outdoor use?
1000 nits is commonly used for high-brightness and sunlight-readable display applications. For installations exposed to intense direct sunlight, the required brightness may vary depending on the viewing direction, glass treatment and enclosure design.
What is the warranty year?
MotiveTouch provides 2-years as a standard free warranty service.
What is the difference between a high-brightness monitor and a sunlight-readable monitor?
A high-brightness monitor uses increased display luminance to improve visibility in bright environments. A sunlight-readable monitor is specifically designed for applications where strong ambient light or direct sunlight can affect screen readability, often combining high brightness with optical and surface treatments.
Where can a 21.5" sunlight-readable touch monitor be used?
Typical applications include outdoor kiosks, EV charging stations, parking systems, transportation terminals, vending machines, reverse vending machines, public information terminals, industrial HMI and access control systems.
Can this 21.5" touch monitor be customized?
Yes. Depending on project requirements, customization may include touch technology, cover glass, brightness, mounting structure, housing, interfaces and other hardware configurations.
